Hi,
Sorry to jump in without background, but on Win8 I think it would make more
sense to use the built-in hardware ID that WinRT provides, as below, rather
than using createUUID to demand-create a device ID. (The hardware ID would
obviously survive a localStorage reset.)
private string GetHardwareId()
{
var token = HardwareIdentification.GetPackageSpecificToken(null);
var hardwareId = token.Id;
var dataReader = Windows.Storage.Streams.DataReader.FromBuffer(hardwareId);
byte[] bytes = new byte[hardwareId.Length];
dataReader.ReadBytes(bytes);
return BitConverter.ToString(bytes);
}
I've created a Jira item to this effect.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1702
Hopefully I'm not missing something! As I suggest, I'm new to any prior
discussion.
Thanks,
Matt
