Device ID¶

Device ID is an ID which Repro SDK uses to distinguish the device.

Note

The Web SDK does not support obtainig Device IDs

The values we use from different OSs are as the following:

iOS

IDFV (Identifier for Vendor)

Warning

IDFV may change when reinstalling the app.

Android

ANDROID_ID (default). If using ANDROID_ID is not allowed by your privacy policy, you can make the ANDROID_ID hashed or use UUID generated by the SDK instaed by adding the below tag to AndroidManifest.xml. Make sure to assign one of the followings to android:value.

"ANDROID_ID" : Use ANDROID_ID as the device ID (default)
"ANDROID_ID_MD5" : Use MD5 hashed ANDROID_ID as the device ID
"UUID" : Use UUID generated by the SDK as the device ID. This UUID will be saved in SharedPreferences.

<application>
  ...
  <meta-data
      android:name="io.repro.android.DeviceID.Mode"
      android:value="ANDROID_ID"> // Specify "ANDROID_ID", "ANDROID_ID_MD5" or "UUID"
  </meta-data>
  ...
</application>

Also, you can specify the hash salt with the below tag when using "ANDROID_ID_MD5". Set an arbitrary string to android:value.

<application>
  ...
  <meta-data
      android:name="io.repro.android.DeviceID.Salt"
      android:value="mysalt">
  </meta-data>
  ...
</application>

Warning

When changing the device ID type after SDK has been installed, the result of push notification measurements may temporarily get less accurate.
When using "UUID", the device ID will change to a new value after SharedPreferences being deleted after uninstalling/re-installing the app. This may also make the result of push notification measurement temporarily less accurate.

Get Device ID¶

Get the device ID described above.

NSString* deviceID = [Repro getDeviceID];

let deviceID = Repro.getDeviceID()

let deviceID = Repro.deviceID()

String deviceID = Repro.getDeviceID();

const char* deviceID = ReproCpp::getDeviceID();

string deviceID = Repro.GetDeviceID ();

// retrieve the deviceID via a callback function
Repro.getDeviceID(function(deviceID) {
  ...
});

// retrieve the deviceID via a callback function
Repro.getDeviceID((error, deviceID) => {
  ...
});

// Not available for Web SDK
