Get Unique Device Identifier under iOS Delphi 12

[Levente 1]

Hi,

 

What unique identification number can be read from iPhones?

We are developing an application in Delphi 12 that requires a unique identification number from the user. This is necessary to identify the user's device when it connects to our cloud server.

 

Under Android, we solved this by reading the Android ID, which works well:

var
  AndroidID: JString;
begin
  AndroidID := TJSettings_Secure.JavaClass.getString(TAndroidHelper.ContentResolver, TJSettings_Secure.JavaClass.ANDROID_ID);
  ShowMessage(JStringToString(AndroidID));
end   

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

On iOS, it is common practice to use the identifierForVendor method of the UIDevice class. This value is guaranteed to remain the same for the life of the install (i.e. if the user uninstalls/re-installs your app, it may change). This code shows how to obtain it as a string.
