Device ID change #163
Comments
The source code is literally right here in the repo:
here is the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIDevice/identifierForVendor An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to the app’s vendor. (read-only) Declaration Normally, the vendor is determined by data provided by the App Store. If the app was not installed from the app store (such as enterprise apps and apps still in development), then a vendor identifier is calculated based on the app’s bundle ID. The bundle ID is assumed to be in reverse-DNS format. On iOS 6, the first two components of the bundle ID are used to generate the vendor ID. if the bundle ID only has a single component, then the entire bundle ID is used. On IOS 7, all components of the bundle except for the last component are used to generate the vendor ID. If the bundle ID only has a single component, then the entire bundle ID is used. Table 1 shows a collection of bundle IDs and which portions of the bundle ID the system uses to calculate the vendor ID. Table 1Example bundle identifiers If the value is nil, wait and get the value again later. This happens, for example, after the device has been restarted but before the user has unlocked the device. The value in this property remains the same while the app (or another app from the same vendor) is installed on the iOS device. The value changes when the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and subsequently reinstalls one or more of them. The value can also change when installing test builds using Xcode or when installing an app on a device using ad-hoc distribution. Therefore, if your app stores the value of this property anywhere, you should gracefully handle situations where the identifier changes. |
Can you please explain this line.. |
@mike-appwiz You would have to ask Apple as I copied and pasted from the docs. It seems like if they uninstall or install the app then it would change the id I guess from a vendor. |
Is the device id that is returned on an iPad the actually unique device id? Because it looks like it is changing after a new install
