Support get distinct id about react-native-mixpanel HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks @sslash I'll have a look if I can find the time to expose that.

from react-native-mixpanel.

@sslash "get distinct id" is supported in the web API, but not in the iOS API, right?

So probably would be better to ask the Mixpanel iOS team to expose it in their API first, before react-native can even expose it? Or am I misunderstanding what function you want exposed?

@mikelambert thanks, I had forgotten to reply to this after checking it.
I could try to ask them and see how it goes.

Just a heads up, this isn't a function. It's exposed as a property for iOS: https://mixpanel.com/site_media/doctyl/uploads/iPhone-spec/Classes/Mixpanel/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/Mixpanel/distinctId

I went ahead and added a pull request: #25

There might be a better way to expose this as a property.

That's great, thanks Elliot! Would be nice to get the same on Android. Anyone able to submit a PR for Android?

Is this the issue where device ID does not persist? Link

Whenever I change simulators or update the app, the user in Mixpanel changes. How can I prevent that from happening?

@kevando I think you can do that with alias and identify

Closing this thread as getDistinctId is already implemented on both iOS and android
