Impossible to get Unique Identifier from device in Corona?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
1

I am writing a blog post for Corona SDK and I have to get the iPhone Unique Device Identifier and it should be a 64 character long string and I can’t find it.

I just get the Device ID and it is 40 characters long so it is not the right or complete one.

Please help. [import]uid: 22737 topic_id: 15240 reply_id: 315240[/import]

Thanks for the answer but I do need to accomplish that within LUA and Corona SDK for every user that uses my app… that is the problem sorry for not being that specific

understand now… but I don’t think there’s an API for that. [import]uid: 70635 topic_id: 15240 reply_id: 56311[/import]

Why do you need the UDID? Apple has said that using it is a deprecated feature.

Because Urban Airship demans a unique ID when establishing a device for push notification [import]uid: 22737 topic_id: 15240 reply_id: 56391[/import]

Try this:

system.getInfo("deviceID")
