    Hello there everyone!
    I'm trying to integrate an anonymous way to login into my game. Basically I need an identifier that is the same within builds install and for different apps.

    I'm working on a gaming franchise so multiple apps will use the same backend for the login
    This said, I've researched and:
    This issue seems to be present only in Android. I'm all ears to any solution you may have :)

    Thanks in advance!

    Update for those who are are seeking for this very problem:

    This can be solved by using the very same keystore on apps.
    Initially I (wrongly) thought that this would block games to be uploaded to Google Play. Besides that, be aware to any limitations on Android 11+ (they are coming in GREAT numbers).

    DISCLAIMER: I'm not related or corroborating with "Don't Kill My App" team, I'm reporting them here with the intent of educational and research purposes

    I've faced a lot of problems on Android 11+(shared internal storage, notification services, etc etc), you can find some of good reports here: Don't Kill My App website
    I truly recommend deeper investigation towards the problems reported there, as it isn't linear within each brand and model of cellphones

    Good luck

    All the best,
    Breno W.
