Apk single number

Hello Everyone.

If i put an apk on google play, and some people download and install it… is possible to generate on the apk (or anywhere else) a kind of serial number?

I thinking on using this, for example, on a personal tutorial, only for the people who aquire the apk, for example?

Thanks.

Hi,
Can u specify exactly what you need?

If I understand correct & u want to generate a number than fetch device Id or IMEI number of device & use it.

Something like a client Numbers. Tô validade that the person as purchased the program or download it.
For example the person have problem and i know She is a client. Not anybody who says is a client.
Thanks.

Personally speaking, I don’t believe that apps should tie people to devices. That is if you’re going to do a personal tutorial, why should I get a different tutorial if I’m on my phone or on my tablet? It should be tied to me. I might get a new phone and want to access my existing tutorial.

Your best bet is to use something like a Facebook ID or Google login or let the user create an account on some hosted service that generates a per user ID rather than some device ID.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes,
Rob has suggested an appropriate way n that’s we usually follow.

If u want to map certain things at the backend with the user than email, FB or Google login is the best way to recognize user independently.

I have done it by registering a unique ID that I store on the phone. I also registered the users ID on a database on our webserver.

I have then used this ID to allow one user to recommend the app to others and be rewarded for it.

(It did not give much response, but that is my fault :slight_smile: )
