Does the Facebook SDK use IDFA for Mobile App Installs?

Question

When you integrate the Facebook SDK to track Mobile App Installs, does this use the IDFA and hence do you have to answer yes to the corresponding question in iTunes Con

Answer 1

Only under certain situations. See Facebook's FAQ:

Does Facebook’s SDK for iOS access the IDFA?

• The Facebook SDK includes code to access Apple’s Advertising Identifier (IDFA), but that code is only executed in certain situations.
• The Facebook SDK for iOS only accesses IDFAs in the following scenarios: 1) if your app serves ads within the app through Facebook’s Audience Network, or 2) if your app logs app installs or other mobile App Events in order to attribute those events to your ad campaigns.
• If you are not logging App Events (via the FBAppEvents class), then the Facebook SDK is not accessing the IDFAs. Additionally, the Facebook SDK does not require AdSupport.framework to be included.
• If you want to track App Events without collecting IDFA, you can disable IDFA collection within your app dashboard in the advanced setting section.
