Accessing a unique ID of a Device

[trags3]

Is it possible to access the serial number of a user's device or some other unique identification?
I want to use it to monitor possible piracy.

Hi Tom,

Apple deprecated the ability to query the unique ID of an iOS device back in 2013 so this is no longer possible.

You may be able to use LiveCodes UUID to generate a unique ID for each device that installs your app.

Kind Regards,

Unfortunately, that isn't something that you can poll and always get the same answer from the same device. You can try to use something like the push id or the advertising identifier, but those are not constant through time. There are mechanisms to get the uuid via installing a profile, but it require's a user's interaction every time you retrieve it. I'm talking to one of those services about coming up with a way around that restriction for corporate apps, but we aren't there, yet.
