All trips are being posted with the same device ID?

[cyberhobo]

Wish I had caught this sooner, seems to have been a problem in the beta and production versions. It looks like all trips are coming in with this device ID:

0f607264fc6318a92b9e13c65db7cd3c

As a result we're not able to distinguish individual users - it looks like everyone is using the same phone. @mtnbikerbrad, let me know if I can provide any more useful data!

[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier] in the AppDelegate was deprecated. It still returns an ID but it is not one unique to the phone.

We ran into this with one of our own apps.

In iOS 7, Apple now always returns a fixed value when querying the MAC to specifically thwart the MAC as base for an ID scheme. So you now should use -[UIDevice identifierForVendor]. If the user uninstalls and reinstalls the app, it will be a new device id.

If you are keeping a record of the actual user in the RenoTracksHub, you can see if the token has changed and update as necessary.

Yeah I remember wen this changed, I will get in this, just have to burn thru some tedious homework. Thanks for the potential fix!

To be more specific, [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier] was removed from the SDK.

It’s a little different, but the method to get the hardware MAC address for a device still works. It just always returns the same number.

I think I fixed it but wanted to get your feedback on the best way to make the ID save even if the application is deleted and reinstalled? Or is this a non-issue?

There isn't a way to prevent this. As far as I know it's by design to improve user privacy.

Let me know if you submit a trip I can use to verify the fix. Don't know if would be easy to submit fake data to the staging site or not...
