Based on the updates made to iOS14 for implementing the App Tracking Transparency framework ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apptrackingtransparency) , the usage of isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled is causing issues as it always returns "DNT" instead of the IDFA.
Our SDK checks "Advertising Tracking Enabled" with the above mentioned deprecated method: "isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled" which always returns false in iOS14
See reference here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/adsupport/asidentifiermanager/1614148-isadvertisingtrackingenabled

This needs to be reverted immediately, please take appropriate action.

Adding a +1 to this. This is wreaking havoc in our production app and no immediate way to fix except for swizzling this method which seems fairly inadvisable. Seems like an oversight that this deprecation was not also tabled until IDFA is required.
