A.6. Managing Firebase iid

Managing Firebase Instance ID

From Firebase Core ANE you can have access to the firebase iid API to generate or revoke current instance id. You usually won't need to bother about the iid being used in Firebase because it automatically creates this id for you for example when you are using it in the FCM ANE. However, if you really need it in your app for other purposes, here's how you should do it.

To start playing with the iid API, you must first add the required listeners only after the Firebase is successfully initialized.

Firebase.iid.addEventListener(FirebaseEvents.IID_TOKEN, onIdTokenReceived);
Firebase.iid.addEventListener(FirebaseEvents.IID_ID, onIdReceived);

private function onIdTokenReceived(e:FirebaseEvents):void
{
	trace("iidToken = "+e.iidToken);
}

private function onIdReceived(e:FirebaseEvents):void
{
	trace("iid id = "+e.iidID);
}

To delete and regenerate the iid again, use the following methods:

/*
	this revokes the current iid. It may take a few seconds to be 
	completed but the SDK is not letting us know when it's job would 
	be over! As soon as Google changes this behavior, we will also
	update the ANE.
*/
Firebase.iid.deleteIID();

/*
	this will return the current id of the iid. If it's not available
	maybe due to a previous call to deleteIID(), a new id will be generated
	and returned.
*/
Firebase.iid.getID();

/*
	this will return the current token of the iid. If it's not available
	maybe due to a previous call to deleteIID(), a new token will be
	generated and returned.
*/
Firebase.iid.getInstanceId();
