flurry - How to flurry detect new users?

According to Flurry documentation,

"New Users

A new user is a user who has just started using your application. Users are identified by unique phone IDs (which vary by platform) to ensure that a user is in fact a unique new user and not just a re-installation."

Can anyone elaborate the "unique phone IDs (which vary by platform)" part?

Thanks.

Solution

  • For Android, the unique IDs are likely to be one of:

    • Device IMEI number (only works for devices with SIM card slots)
    • Bluetooth/WiFi MAC address (present on majority of devices)
    • Secure.ANDROID_ID (technically present on all devices, but its known to be buggy in some versions)
