Device Unique ID

I was discussing this in the Pro Support Forum, However i've let my subscription lapse.

I'd like to know if there is actually a lighthouse ticket for the Duplicate ID problem with froyo, I've looked and can't find one.

for those that don't know, for most devices that feature 2.2, We have found that they show the same deviceID,
TI.Platform.ID = 9774d56d682e549c for any device running 2.2.

I'm just trying to work out what i'll be doing to remedy this as this is throwing my stats out the window. And i'm sure Yours too.

Or is the Appcelerator team already on it, and fixed.

  • It's not quite a UUID, It's an Identifier in Android that is supposed to be unique, however they decided to go AWOL with froyo and just changed it.

    But yeah, Ti.Platform.ID will give you that

  • Ryan does it appear to be across several 2.2 devices.

  • Incase somebody stumbles upon this, it's Ti.Platform.id not Ti.Platform.ID

  • Does anyone know if

    Ti.Network.remoteDeviceUUID

    is the same as

    Ti.Platform.id

    as we're trying to get Urban Airship push working on Android? The former is iPhone only.

  • I didn't know you can obtain the UUID programmatically.
