Hi,
Is the length of uniqueIdentifier the same for all the devices (40 chars)?

Thank you!

Yes, this is always a 40 character Hex string (0-9/a-f)

Is there some connection with unit id?

Yes. The deviceId is considered when generating the uniqueIdentifier.

Hi Stanislav.Bures

Is there some connection with unit id?

According to the documentation :

An identifier that can be used to identify the host device. The value is unique for every app, but is stable on a device across uninstall and reinstall. Any use of this value for tracking user information must be in compliance with international privacy law.

Yes, I read it. I just thinking how to identify users who pay for some exclusive functions. Weather API is big problem. I can not afford to get my API key to the public. Only solution is specific unlock key for one concrete device.

Stanislav.Bures,

This should return the same number for the same device running the same app every time. You should be able to use this for what you are talking about.

Thanks,
