DeviceID on iOS 5 - what does it return?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I have looked all over the forum, but can’t seem to really find the definitive answer. With the phasing out of UDID, what does system.getInfo(“deviceID”) return for iOS 5?

Specifically, I am trying to understand if that deviceID is unique to a particular device? or a particular install (so a randomly generated number when the app is installed)?

2 Specific examples/questions:

  1. If the same iTunes user where to install my app onto 2 different devices, I am assuming the deviceID would be different for each install?

  2. If someone where to pirate my app using a jail broken phone. Would the system.getInfo(“deviceID”) return a different information on the new jail broken phone. Since technically, the app was “installed” on the phone as the phone from which the app is pirated? Here, it really depends on if the ID is unique per install, and how it is generated?
