Device IDs in the Zebra Ecosystem

Device IDs in the Zebra Ecosystem

Device IDs are the primary means of identifying devices in the Zebra ecosystem and are visible in most Zebra Portals (For example, PVM, EXM, etc).
Zebra and iOS device IDs are constructed the same regardless of the Zebraapp version. Third-party Android device IDs are constructed differently based on the type of device and the client version being used.
The following table summarizes how device IDs are constructed. In the table below, “+” indicates concatenation.
