It was already a pretty attractive target because of servers for everything. I’m not sure reaching 5% desktop market share will really make it more attractive for malware.

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.

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

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.
