> we ask Apple to generate a unique deviceID

This is bullshit. You don't ask Apple. Apple enforces this requirement on every single app.

I guess I meant... we call a Apple API to ask for a anonymous Device UUID. Precisely: UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

Do you still think that's "bullshit"?
