Get the device's Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).
var string = device.uuid;
The details of how a UUID is generated are determined by the device manufacturer and specific to the device's platform or model.
// Android: Returns a random 64-bit integer (as a string, again!) // The integer is generated on the device's first boot // // BlackBerry: Returns the PIN number of the device // This is a nine-digit unique integer (as a string, though!) // // iPhone: (Paraphrased from the UIDevice Class documentation) // Returns a string of hash values created from multiple hardware identifies. // It is guaranteed to be unique for every device and cannot be tied // to the user account. // var deviceID = device.uuid;
