iOS 27.2 makes expanded ATT prompt mandatory in five EU countries

Starting with iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, Apple requires the alternative expanded App Tracking Transparency prompt for apps distributed in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania. Elsewhere in the EU it is optional and outside the EU it has no effect. The new API adds a Markdown purpose string, an optional Additional Information button and yearly re-prompting in the EU.

• Expanded ATT prompt is mandatory in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania
• New requestTrackingAuthorization call adds preferExpandedInterface and Markdown description
• In the EU the system re-prompts for tracking permission once a year
• Rules for what counts as tracking remain unchanged
