Adding Location tag in metadata

We would like to add "Location : This app may use your location even when it isn't open, which can decrease battery life." tag under "Information" section in app description/metadata. We don't see any field in iTunesConnect/AppstoreConnect to add this field. Could anyone please let us know the steps to add this "Location" tag when we submit the app for review next time. Please let me know if any document available in the developer portal.

You do this under "[CLLocationManager authorizationStatus]" - the system displays a reason that you enter in the info.plist under

Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description


see:

I am talking about appstore metadata, not within the app. If you look into the app description for Google maps in appstore, you will notice the following line


Location : This app may use your location even when it isn't open, which can decrease battery life." tag under "Information".

I want to know how to add that information in appstore meta data.

I see. I don't know. My guess is that the App Store will add that if your app adds the line in the info.plist requesting always access to locations.

We have added "Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description" and "Privacy - Location Usage Description" to the plist but we don't see "Location" tag in appstore metadata.

Accepted Answer

The line refers to 'always on' not 'when in use'.
