Does Playfab UnitySDK uses encryption?

Hi,

I'm using Playfab in an IOS mobile app made with Unity3D so I'm using the Playfab UnitySDK.

I'm asked by Apple the following question:

"Does your app use encryption? Select Yes even if your app onlys uses the standard encryption within Apple's operating system."

I would like to know what kind of encryption is used?ATS? HTTPS? SSL? etc..

Also, would like to know the purpose of each instance of encryption?

Right now in my app, I use Playfab authentication API and also I make API calls to save and load player data.

Should I say Yes or No to their question?

Thank you!

PlayFab requires that SSL be used for all API calls to the service, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. PlayFab UnitySDK calls the RESTful API via Https. So, yes, it uses the encryption.

Thank you for the answer!

It seems like the SSL and HTTPS can be ignored when answering their question when publishing an app as per their rules though.

Thanks
