Does an app using WKWebView require encryption compliance for worldwide App Store release?

I have two questions regarding releasing an app that uses an in-app browser (WKWebView) on the App Store worldwide.

Question 1: Encryption usage Our app uses WKWebView and relies on standard encryption. Should this be declared as using encryption during the App Store submission?

Question 2: If the answer to Question 1 is YES If it must be declared as using encryption, do we need to prepare and upload additional documentation when submitting the app in France? Also, would this require us to redo the entire build and upload process, even for an app version that has already been uploaded?

Goal / request: We want to release an app using WKWebView worldwide, including France. We would like to understand all the necessary steps and requirements for completing the App Store release without unexpected rework.

Best regards,

P.S.: A similar question was posted a few years ago, but it seems there was no response. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/725047
