Hi all,
Currently many apps using UDID are being rejected. I’m currently developing an app that saves the game progress into a database in case of if player removes the app and re-installs it. MAC address can be solution for this until iOS6 comes around. In iOS6 new API will provide us to get unique id for device and its user.
So, will Corona add a new method which gives the MAC address or will wait for iOS6? [import]uid: 5629 topic_id: 27641 reply_id: 327641[/import]
MAC addresses have the same problems UDID’s have in that they uniquely ID the device. The latest daily builds have address the UDID’s for most of the 3rd party vendors using them. There should be a new stable release announced this week.
I personally am not a fan of using the device ID to track users and as a developer I would encourage you to find an alternate way to identify the user not the device. When the new iPhones come out later this year, my iPhone 4 will end up in someone elses hands. I don’t want that user, should they chose to use the same apps that I do, having access to my information.
