"Now, no one bats an eye if you ship the most secure crypto you want."

The most surprising thing to me is that, in speaking in the past several years with younger entrepreneurs, they're not even aware of the obligation to file for an export license for any/all software containing crypto (such as that submitted to the App Store).

I've not yet seen a case in which a mass market exemption isn't quickly granted, but devs still need to file - and re-file annually.

Is that still a requirement for US developers?

As in, currently.

When you submit the documentation via Apple, also submitting it to the government is not necessary: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/complying...

Essentially Apple built a system so you have to agree to export restrictions with every single build you upload to Apple.
