If i am making a browser application for iOS, do i need to check "YES" for the encryption step?

[laureano97]

when i click on "ready to upload binary" for my iOS app, it directs me to a page called "export compliance." it states: Export laws require that products containing encryption be properly authorized for export.
Failure to comply could result in severe penalties.


Is your product designed to use cryptography or does it contain or incorporate cryptography?

For the above question, I researched for an answer and it turns out it is needed for certain frameworks and SSL or HTTPS. I realyl dont even know what they are talking about however. When i Click YES, a dropdown question asks: Does your product qualify for any of the exemptions provided in Category 5 part 2?

You are responsible for the proper classification of your product; make certain that it meets the criteria of the exemption (listed here). Otherwise you may be in violation of the US export laws and could be subjected to penalties including delisting of your app from App Store. Please go through the FAQ page thoroughly before attempting to answer the question.

You can answer "YES" to question #2, if the encryption in your app is: (a) is specially designed for medical end-use; (b) is limited to intellectual property or copyright protection; (c) is limited to authentication, digital signature or the decryption of data or files; (d) is specially designed and limited for banking use or 'money transactions'; (e) is limited to “fixed” data compression or coding techniques; or (f) if your app meets the descriptions provided in Note 4 to Category 5 Part 2.

You definitely don't want to do the wrong thing here, especially if you are planning on selling the app or trying to get it in the app store. You should probably invest in an iOS book, or find one online somewhere. In the meantime you might want to just keep virtualizing your app.
