Hey there, we just noticed that on AND, some distinct IDs have a "$device:" prefix. On iOS this is never the case. We are confused as to why this is the case? :D

@carstenhag mixpanel-swift started prefixing $device: in v4.0.5: https://github.com/mixpanel/mixpanel-swift/releases/tag/v4.0.5

The Objective-C SDK started w/ v5.0.2: https://github.com/mixpanel/mixpanel-iphone/releases/tag/v5.0.2

Both were released 5 months ago. If you are using a version >= those, then I would recommend reaching out to support@mixpanel.com for help troubleshooting any identity management issues you're experiencing.
