Re: Whats this GUI thingy?
I produce a free Android and Apple app for personalised London Traffic information, Jambuster.
It's made in the UK (I wrote it), it's only available in the UK, I only use https for traffic as Apple more or less forces me to.
Because I use https (and its not a banking app), I had to fill in and get US govt approval for my UK app if I wanted to put it on the Apple store, an Encryption Registration JBL0001. I had to submit this to Apple manually for the first few times for each release. Apple now give me a key to put in my XML file which means I don't have to submit the PDF again.
So a free UK app for a UK market needs US approval for the 'standard' cryptography in it, https. No data is stored in the US, no money passes through to the US, its free, I don't have any US traffic.
It may be box ticking, but its a pain for me.
