Would baking your own SSL stuff into the app instead of just running with the system URL stuff cause more paperwork regarding Apple and the crypto export control stuff?
- Turing_Machine 15y agoI wouldn't think so, as long as you describe what you're doing and describe it as SSL (honestly, of course... I would strongly discourage claiming that it's SSL unless it's really a fully-compatible implementation, with no additional encryption mechanisms, etc.) There's really very little paperwork required these days, and the process is quite streamlined -- I got approved (fully online) about 20 minutes after submitting the form. I have a hunch that they're getting tired of processing forms that just involve SSL and are more or less rubberstamping 'em. That makes perfect sense -- SSL is a standard technology, they've granted the same export permission a zillion times in the past, etc. I'm not trying to suggest that they're not doing their duty, just that SSL is routine. However, there's only one way to find out for sure. :-)
