Is there a quick way to ID the phone?

Steven Cox

Hi,

Is there a way for the SDK to identify the phone - say the IMEI number or something similar?

A session ID or token of some sort may work but I would guess this may change over time/sessions?

I would be looking to set an element in the model to this ID - and have it saved back to the server.

Alternatively, if  that isn't possible, when a user logs on, and no 'local' ID exists, could either the server or phone app create an ID and have it saved locally - and have it persist until some kind of intervention (rather than time out etc)?

Thanks

    Thanks - I had a play with that and the cordova Sim plugin but it always came back as 'undefined'. I guess because I'm developing on a computer using the sdk node instance ( http://localhost:9000/app  ) and it needs a proper device to get those properties.

    I've used the alternative of creating a psuedo-unique ID by fetching unixtime when the app is first run and pushing that into the 'settingsManager.Stores.SETTINGS' to retain it for that instance. I'll try with 'window.device.uuid' and if that's undefined, fall back to the above (hopefully that'll cover real/emulated devices and dev instances too).
