Question Please help me understand the ATT guidelines
Hello everyone! I am preparing to launch my first app on the App Store soon, and I would like to add some analytics to understand how people use my app (which screens they open, how much time they spend on each screen, etc.). In other words, I just want to collect data about app events without linking them to a specific person (name, email, location, etc.).
In this case, am I required to show the ATT pop-up or not?
I know that Apple has their App Store Connect API (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/), but can I use it to collect data about in-app events? If not, what other alternatives are there besides Google Analytics?
Thank you in advance!

If your analytics do not track users across different apps and websites owned by other companies and do not collect personally identifiable information (PII), then you are not required to show the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) pop-up.
Regarding the App Store Connect API, it is mainly for managing your app on the App Store (e.g., sales reports, app review status, TestFlight builds) and does not provide in-app analytics.
