Sorry if this is a simple question.. but I can't seem to find a good answer for this.
I want to implement an anonymous login, where the user is simply logged in by their device. I am guessing that devices across iOS and Android don't have unique IDs.. so I guess I would have to manually generate an ID, and then see if its already in use, and then if it is regeneerate. Is there a solution to this sort of thing? my solution seems really hacky...
My current idea, logic wise is:
- Generate Unique ID
- Query database to see if Unique ID is already in use
- If it is repeat first two steps
- If not push up
I need to be able to track what Device has pushed what information to the database, but I don't want to make users have to sign in or provide any information.
