Official URLs (App Store Connect)
Use these exact HTTPS URLs in App Store Connect and in the app (e.g. Settings links):
- Privacy Policy: https://hitthebrakes-site.vercel.app/privacy.html
- Terms of Use (EULA): https://hitthebrakes-site.vercel.app/terms.html
- Support URL: https://hitthebrakes-site.vercel.app/support.html
In Xcode, AppLinks.swift should match these URLs before you ship.
App Privacy (nutrition labels)
Complete App Privacy in App Store Connect honestly. Align answers with Privacy Policy Section 2 and Section 3 (Apple App Privacy summary). If you add SDKs or change data collection, update both the questionnaire and the policy.
Advertising & App Tracking Transparency
If you use AdMob (or other ads), you typically need a clear NSUserTrackingUsageDescription in Info.plist when requesting tracking. The app already includes a template string — revise the wording to match your actual use before release.
Replace Google test ad unit IDs and the sample GADApplicationIdentifier in the app with values from your AdMob account before production.
AdMob: app-ads.txt
AdMob verifies seller authorization via a public app-ads.txt at your app’s developer website. This site serves it at:
https://hitthebrakes-site.vercel.app/app-ads.txt
The file must contain the exact line shown in AdMob for your account (publisher ID). After deploy, open the URL in a browser — you should see a single plain-text line, no HTML. In AdMob, use “Check for updates” if verification is pending.
If AdMob asks for a developer website, use this site’s URL (or your custom domain once connected in Vercel). Keep App Store Connect marketing/support URLs and the domain you give AdMob in sync when you change domains.
Encryption export
If your Xcode project sets ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption to false, confirm that matches reality before each submission.
