I hope you know what a hard reset is?

Factory Reset I mean.

Sapeleboy911:
App server.

By this a hard reset shouldn't make the app see the device as new since the token is stored in the app server

westlius:
As long as the Internet connection is on, it can detect when an android or iphone. The last minute is own its detected in there software.
My 5k assap

This is very incoherent or simply out of point

Sapeleboy911:
Almost all banking Apps including GTBank, Opay, etc. Except you do a hard reset, the app always detects that it has been installed on such a device before even if you clear storage, change your Mac address, or the Play Store account.It still detects it.


Applications have something known as device token saved on the server to send you notifications and other stuff.
When you install an app, a unique token is generated by your device, that is specific to that app and the device.
So whenever you install the app, the provider checks for that token on their server, if it exists already, then you have installed that app on your device at some earlier point in time, if not, then it is stored for future refrence.

Where is the token stored?

The device or the app server?

If it's stored in the device then a hard reset shouldn't be able to delete it and make the device appear new to the app?

jackmrandy:
Cookies: When a user uses an app, a small piece of data known as a cookie can be stored on their device. Cookies can contain information about the user's session, preferences, and previous interactions with the app. By checking for the presence of a specific cookie associated with a previous registration, the app can determine if the device has been used for registration before.
a

It's not the cookies

The apps data and cache were cleared

Also the Apps folder on internal storage was also cleared yet it still detects.

you dey find solution to your assignment

What assignment?

Please help me answer this, I know the reward money is small but I need an answer.

How does PalmPay mobile app Knows a device Android/iPhone have been used to access the App before? I'd love to implement this feat Tom an my App.

It is not any of the following:

It is not via Storing the Device IMEI Number.
We got an Android, registered a PalmPay account with it, then change the IMEI number of this Android and tried registering a new account.

Palmpay was able to detect the device has been used before.


It is not By detecting device Build Number or MAC address, those where changed too.


It is not by storing cookies or some form of secret on the device, we cleared the app cache, uninstall it and removed all the app data yet it was able to detect it has been used before.




Only way PalmPay was able to view the device as new was After a hard factory reset.



So Dev in the house, what magic is PalmPay doing here?

Only python?

Can scrap any data with Node and Puppeteer

PoliciaNLand:
we're comfortable with nairaland and Seun management of his ad content.
the ads is rightly placed and doesn't disturb anyone.
you don't expect Seun to be loosing millions just to please you that doesn't contribute shi shi to the development of Nairaland.
if you're not comfortable
deactivate and stop blabbering.
God bless Seun Osewa and nairaland.

It is not rightly placed


Since the focus is on making millions and not better user experience


Why not advice him to add 10 or more of such ads everywhere... I'm sure he's still loosing money right now since they're lots of spaces he can fix his ads irrespective of UX

what do you even know about user experience?

That ads is disruptive


Seun himself claims he hates such ads... Go and read NL advert policies


Nairaland claims they hate flash ads or ads with transition like properties


Talking with you self na waste of time
