I’m not the developer, but I do also write app backends for a living so I know there is some nuance that you’re skipping over in your response. But if you have a way to do this completely anonymous on android I’d suggest offering help to the developer who made this.

Something that… links it to the device? Like, a unique ID that Apple can identify?

APNS tokens are linked to the app install and renew on a certain timeline. Already making them not exactly the same as a device identifier.

Edited for further clarification. It’s not about Google, it’s about what Android needs to receive notifications: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Apple notification identifiers are unique to an app install and regularly change though, so it’s hardly a device identifier.

And the developer needs a device ID for that. Which is their objection: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Thanks, but I’m not the developer of the app so that’s not really relevant for me.

This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity

Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.

We clearly read very different stories, in mine the computers are usually more competent than a 30% success rate.

Imagine if the internet at its inception failed to connect you 70% of the time. It’s not as impressive as most other inventions.
