Hi guys,

I’ve searched the docs, but I wasn’t able to find the maximum length of a username for Corona Cloud…

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance

Can someone from Corona team please answer this.

It is important as we have to account the username length in our interface.

Hi,

We don’t have a strict cap on the length of a username.

Thanks

Hey Mohamed,

Wouldn’t it be better to set a server side limit on the username length?

I like the flexibility of CC, but very long usernames are hard to cope with in your app.

The only solution I can come up with is to shorten the username to _ userna…._ for example.

However this doesn’t look very good. Is there a substantial reason for providing users with the possibility of choosing a 100 character username?

Cheers

P.S. the goal of the limit would make it possible to design your app around the biggest possible username, with an infinite long username this is just impossible.
