missing / zeroed out IDFA (with ‘Allow Apps to Request to Track’ turned on)

[cezinho]

My IDFA is showing up zeroed out (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000), despite having the Allow Apps to Request to Track setting toggled on.

I’m running iOS 14.3 (18C65) on my iPhone 12 Pro, though it’s possible I have been affected by the problem ever since I first upgraded from iOS 13 (with LAT turned on) to iOS 14 beta.

iOS 14 beta is currently the only Configuration Profile on my device.

What I’ve tried:

* Toggling Settings > Privacy > Tracking > Allow Apps to Request to Track (the option is available, and not greyed out as some with a similar missing IDFA issue have reported)

* Signing out of iCloud and then resetting settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings), per this article: https://www.appsflyer.com/blog/zeroed-idfa-ios-14/

Any idea what the underlying issue could be, and how to resolve?

I used this app to pull my IDFA (ID for Advertisers) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/branch-device-id-finder/id1477763736 and verified that the problem is isolated to my device. Noting also that the IDFV (ID for Vendors) shows up fine.

This is not the release build of 14.3, so I'd update and check again.

Good call — I just updated to 14.3 (18C66), but the problem persists.

So the issue resolved itself in…iOS 14.6 (18F5055b). Super bizarre, whatever the bug was. Now I can finally enjoy the numerous “Allow Apps to Request to Track” prompts.
