True, but last time I looked at it (late 2012) the legalese was intimidating enough that I didn't feel comfortable attempting it without consulting a lawyer. Since the app was just a personal side project, paying for a lawyer wasn't an option and I chose to restrict my app to sale in the US and Canada only. (Which doesn't require any government filing at all.)
All because I wanted to access a backend service over HTTPS. It's mind-boggling that my app can be called "encryption software" because it calls a shared library built into the operating system.

French iOS users must be missing out even more. Looks like Apple requires extra paperwork for crypto exported to France specifically.
