"this initial registration can be used to exchange things like IMEI or somesuch for device identificatio"
PacketZoom stack does create our own randomly generated identifier per app install (so two different apps on the same device will have different ids). Nothing at all that would positively identify a device or a user (IMIE, UDID etc.). That's a strict no-no by app/play store policies.
- signa11 10y ago> Nothing at all that would positively identify a device or a user (IMIE, UDID etc.) ... if we ignore (for a moment) that play-store/app-store policies forbid imei use by applications, i am just curious why you think IMEI cannot be used for _device_ identification ? thanks !
- chetanahuja 10y ago"forbid imei use by applications, i am just curious why you think IMEI cannot be used for _device_ identification" I may have phrased it unclearly. I was trying to say that things like UDID or IMEI that can be used to identify individual users and/or devices are strictly verboten by app store policies (and PacketZoom doesn't read or use any of those identifiers)
- signa11 10y ago> I may have phrased it unclearly. cool ! thanks for clarifying the whole thing.
