Will there be an android equivalent of this command?

Also, where can I read more about what the intended usage is for this command? Is it an identifier that can be used to uniquely identify a device (for the purposes of a licensing scheme)?

Thanks!

Hi pkocsis,
iphoneIdentifierForVendor... I don't see that as an LC command or function?
Are you asking about another language?

Aside from that, there have been many posts here about how to uniquely identify a user. Most include "the seconds" with some other random "mess-it-up" code.

Thank you for replying Simon!

iphoneIdentifierForVendor is in the dictionary for windows community edition 6.1 (has in fact been introduced in version 6.1)

It looks to me like it might possibly be an alternative to using iphoneSystemIdentifier which is (from what I've read) been banned by Apple (use of the UDID identifier in apps has apparantly been deemed "illegal" by new Apple rules)

I have read about schemes folks are using on android....but since iphoneIdentifierForVendor has just been newly introduced, I was just wondering if there was a planned android equivelent as it seems it would be a much more attractive alternative than the schemes I've read about.

Of course, I could be completely wrong on the intended use of iphoneIdentifierForVendor!!

Hi pkocsis,
Thanks for updating me!
'spose it's time to move to 6.1
