amraee Hello I need to get unique hardware ID for android 32 and 64 bit devices in Adobe Animate (Adobe Air). Do you have any suggestion
Michoko You can also use this ANE: https://airnativeextensions.com/extension/com.distriqt.Application
ma Just be aware that iOS and Android don't really give you a hardware identifier anymore. Both OS's blocked access to the "UDID" and return fake values for that now. The identifier we provide is an identifier you can use but can change based on reinstallation or user reset. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Secure#ANDROID_ID https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uidevice/1620059-identifierforvendor
ma Shaun_Max This is relevant to the uniqueId() in our Application ANE, but I was more being general about what device identifiers are available to Android/iOS development.
Shaun_Max ma if i am identifying users through unique id and store their data using it. this will affect my database & data retrieval.?
ma Are you asking me if the identifier changes on a device will it affect your users? At a guess I'd say yes. Please read the details though, the identifier normally only changes on uninstall or on device reset. It shouldn't just randomly change.
Shaun_Max ma i have been using it for some time now & so far didn't face any issues. I just wanted to know going forward will this change? was this a recent change by apple & Google?
