Sorry about that, the gremlins thwarted the publishing of build 1095 until this morning.
^^ and according to the daily release page it is released tomorrow… A back to the future moment at Corona Labs? 
Any updates on Vendor ID and Advertiser ID support?
Some (web-based) advertisers are asking me to switch to Advertiser ID (used to be UDID of course). I am unable to comply with that since there is no API to access the Advertiser ID. I’ll have to choose between updating and not supporting certain ad networks if this isn’t fixed.
Have you contacted Apple about using the MAC address as a UDID replacement? My employer (was W3i, now renamed to NativeX) got a call directly from Apple developer relations when they announced they were going to use MAC address ( http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/28/w3i-suggests-ios-developers-use-mac-address-as-udid-replacement/ ). Needless to say, Apple was not thrilled with that announcement. Also, another company (that I’m not sure if I can name) had a discussion with Apple’s App Review Team that indicated the UDID rules may apply to MAC Address as well.
Apple really wants developers to use the ASIdentifierManager properties for vendor and advertiser because they can be reset by the user (to avoid unwanted tracking).
It would be very helpful to get an official statement from Corona on this. It seem many of us are working to integrate some ad networks directly in Lua using those networks’ REST APIs, but some require the iOS Advertising ID. I imagine it would be a simple matter to expose that to us in Lua. Thanks! - Andrew
Check out Daily Build 1095 for support for Apple’s advertising IDs … the following new system.getInfo() options are available:
" iosAdvertisingIdentifier" On iOS, returns the “advertisingIdentifier” for use in advertising logic.
" iosAdvertisingTrackingEnabled" On iOS, returns the value of “advertisingTrackingEnabled” for use in advertising logic.
" iosIdentifierForVendor" On iOS, returns the value of “identifierForVendor” for use in advertising logic.
Let me know what you think.
When will daily build 1095 be released? It’s not in the Daily Builds page.
Let me email the team and find out.
