I can't think of any issues in revoking app permissions on Android, going back to Android 4.something at least.
I think google is carefully saying "non-resettable identifiers", because App developers will still be able to access the Google Advertising ID, for example, which is resettable. My guess is 99.9% or more of users never actually reset it, though. I just reset mine for the first time recently (Settings -> Google -> Ads -> Reset advertising ID).

- lucb1e 8y agoSo they just need to store the old one and poll it every time the app is opened or so, and if it changed, they know the old and new one? Not sure Apple allows this kind of thing, but changing it regularly, I'm not sure it helps much by itself.
