Apple cracking down on device fingerprinting in App Store, requiring justification from developers

Apple will require developers to explain why they use certain APIs that can be used for fingerprinting
Apps lacking valid explanations for using fingerprinting APIs will be rejected starting in 2024
Fingerprinting uses device data to create unique profiles and track users without consent
Apple first addressed fingerprinting concerns in 2021 and is further restricting the practice
Developers must align API usage explanations with app functionality under new App Store rules
