Android & PhoneGap DeviceID

[Ohmz]

I've noticed that Android apps wrapped up using PhoneGap (version 2.2) seem to not maintain their DeviceID between app launches. This problem does not appear to happen on iOS using the same PhoneGap version. I'm wondering if this might be due to some HTML5 localstorage permissions that might be preventing IO from saving the generated DeviceID. Please let me know if anyone else has run into this issue.

I'll have to look into that issue. It is possible that there are differences between the platforms.

What version of the sencha.io SDK are you using? We just released to 0.7.5 earlier today.

I'm using 0.7.5. I never tried with an older version, as I just wrapped it up with PhoneGap today.

Ok great. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll attempt to reproduce.

We are storing the device session ids in cookies and it looks like android phonegap requires some extra configuration to support cookies in the web view:

localstorage should work the same on both android and iOS.

Thanks for the links, I've been reading up more on this issue but unfortunately it has been rather difficult to implement. Would you be able to tell me if all devices (iOS, Android) utilize cookies for saving DeviceID? I thought documentation mentioned localstorage, so would some types of devices use that instead of cookies? If so how come?
