Roland is 100% correct here. You can't reliably predict what the device identifiers will be and filing bugs is the best way to register your needs.
The fact that you could guess device identifiers has more to do with the fact that there have only been 2 released generations of the iPad mini and less to do with any patterns you may think you have seen. -- David Duncan @ My iPhone > On Nov 26, 2013, at 8:45 AM, Roland King <r...@rols.org> wrote: > > Rubbish. > > And any reading of the Apple Dev Forums will find many messages from Apple > engineers telling you NOT to do that, NOT to guess, NOT to make assumptions > based on what you think identifiers are or are going to be and to stick to > the API points there are.
