Well, all apps in App Store are encrypted/signed. So they literally all use cryptography in that sense. Does not make sense.

I suspect the distinction is that the cryptography for encrypting and signing apps is done by Apple (and they've done all the paperwork for themselves).

First, if all your app does is download encrypted information and decrypt it, you might be covered under one of the exceptions.

Obviously the App Store is using HTTPS, so it's not. The App Store is a program by Apple and I'm sure Apple has an ERN to cover their asses.
