UID Question

[rlee1990]

Are we able to use string uids or how can we use agora user accounts with this package?

@rlee1990 String uid is not supported in this release. We will try to add it in our upcoming releases.

@rlee1990 thanks that would be a big help as I don't see how it's scalable to create a token for millions of users with a small combination of numbers.

After talking to the team, it seems that stringUid is actually not recommended to use.

And it actually is scalable to millions of users with int. An int can support 2^63 uids. And the SDK supports minimum 2^31 uids, which is 2.1 Billion. So there isn't really any scalability issues with numbers.

Thanks for that update.
