Wouldn't it be easier to just generate a random on first start, store it somewhere in application persistance, and do whatever you would be doing with that unreachable UDID/IMEI/Ad ID ?
How do agents "register" their customers? Can't customers just key in their agent "keycode/pin/name/email/phone number" (or even select it from their local contacts) on first run, and just forget about the unique ID? Also, maybe this helps: https://mateuszmackowiak.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/adobe-air-native-extension-syste/ that they can give to their clients Describe how this is done :-? Agents personally install it on their customer's phones?
