AIR 3.5 Mobile project device ID

Question

I am wondering if someone knows the best method for storing data in a global DB against a mobile device (iOS and Android)?

I am building an app that writes/retrieves

Answer 1

As of now I don't think its possible to get the hardware devices guid using air mobile. However you do have a couple of options.

If the MAC address is good enough for you there is an ANE that will let you grab it on both iOS and Android.

and an example of how to use it

You could also write your own ANE, it should be pretty simple to wrap both Android and iOS implementations.

Objective-c: [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]

Android: TelephonyManager.getDeviceId()

If your app requires any kind of user account or login the best option would be to store this setting in the remote db.
