Our iOS app only makes calls over https and nothing else, so we have to submit our self classification report. We filled out every field, but we don't know if the ECCN is 5D002 or 5D992 or 5D992.c or....? Can anyone tell us??? We have read a lot of documents but we can not figure it out.

An annual self-classification report is a requirement for items exported under License Exception ENC - 740.17(b)(1), UNLESS a Commodity Classification (CCATS) has been submitted for the item. You will need a copy of Supplement No. 8 to Part 742 "Self-Classification Report."
Where to Report. The annual self-classification reports must be sent to both BIS and the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator via email or regular mail. Submission via Email: Submissions via email should be sent to BIS at [email protected] and to the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator at [email protected].
An ECCN is a five-digit alphanumeric designations that categorize items based on the nature of the product, i.e. type of commodity, software, or technology and its respective technical parameters. An example of an ECCN is 0A979, which corresponds to police helmets and shields.
Although I'm not sure this question belongs on Stack Overflow, you more than likely need to enter 5D992 in the ECCN column. You cannot include the .c in this column, per this guidance.
If you are 5D002 and you meet the mass market criteria (distribued solely on the App Store), then enter 5D992.

In most cases, as the other answer, an APP for general use, available in the store has likely ECCN 5D992 and is of type MMKT (Mass Market).
In case your app uses different and/or specific encryption technology (e.g. a VPN app, your own encryption libraries and so on) you might need a different classification.

Be aware that you need to check yourself if all information is correct before you submit it.
Practical note: depending on your settings in Excel, your csv might not actually be using a 'comma' when you save it as a csv. Check that before you send it in!
