Is there any threading assumption/requirement for ASIdentifierManager.advertisingIdentifier?
Please see the complete issue and stack trace here. The main thread was waiting for the worker thread, which was blocked in ASIdentifierManager.advertisingIdentifier.

I don't see any thread related information in the document. I tried to recreate the scenario, but I could not reproduce the issue with the simplified test below.
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "AdSupport/AdSupport.h"
#import "AppTrackingTransparency/AppTrackingTransparency.h"
@interface ViewController () {
dispatch_queue_t _queue;
}
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
_queue = dispatch_queue_create("IdentityWorkerQueue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
dispatch_set_target_queue(_queue,
dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0));
if (@available(iOS 14, *)) {
[ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:
^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) {
NSLog(@"Status: %lu", (unsigned long)status);
}];
}
}
- (IBAction)action:(id)sender {
__block NSString *adId1 = nil;
dispatch_async(self->_queue, ^{
sleep(1);
adId1 = ASIdentifierManager.sharedManager.advertisingIdentifier.UUIDString;
});
__block NSString *adId2 = nil;
dispatch_sync(self->_queue, ^{
adId2 = adId1;
});
}
@end
Is there any threading assumption/requirement for ASIdentifierManager.advertisingIdentifier? For example, would it wait for the main thread to finish a certain task when an error happens?
