DeviceID Property in Survey123 : property('deviceid')

[DeonLengton]

I can successfully retrieve the Device ID on an Android device and it gets recorded as:

a4d32b532a8c487ab95c8142df15

However, when i look on the Android device under Settings / About Phone / IMEI etc I dont see that number anywhere.

Is it perhaps reported in a different format and I need to convert it to a normal numeric IMEI number?

If i look in the QT code i see this: 

AF.AppFramework.createUuidString(2);

Which looks like this is not an IMEI number but a generated UUID?

Hi Deon,

As devices that lack cellular connections do not have IMEI and iOS does not allow access to the IMEI, Survey123 generates a unique ID for the deviceid property.  This value does not change between app updates, but will change in iOS devices if Survey123 is uninstalled and reinstalled.

Thanks James that makes sense...
