get BBM Pin using webworks sdk on Android,windows,IOS - blackberry

Question

I am developing an application for Android,IOS,Windows using Phonegap based on bbm.
But I could not find any way to retrieve bbm pin from device.
Is it possible to retrieve bbm pin from device using webworks api?

Answer 1

Since WebWorks 2.0 it is possible.
To use this API in your project, add the identity plugin:
webworks plugin add com.blackberry.identity
and check read-only String blackberry.identity.uuid
more information:
https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/v2_2/blackberry.identity.html
if you mean uuid related to the BBM Platform (not the Blackberry device uuid) then if you consider the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Create callback invoked when access changes
document.addEventListener("onaccesschanged", accessChangedCallback);
function accessChangedCallback(accessible, status) {
if (status == "unregistered") {
// App is unregistered, proceed to register
registerApp();
} else if (status == "allowed") {
// Access allowed
}
// Listen for other status...
};
function registerApp() {
// Register with the platform
blackberry.bbm.platform.register({
uuid: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" // Randomly generated UUID
});
}
</script>
you can see, that uuid used for register app is just randomly generated uuid. And for your application when you call registerApp generate your own UUID to be used with BBM platform as a unique identifier.
Just found the following information:
Each application must define its own Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) so that it can uniquely identify itself. This UUID is used to register with the BBM SP servers during testing and development. Applications in the BlackBerry App World™ storefront are assigned their own UUID automatically. In BlackBerry WebWorks, the UUID is stored in the options parameter used in registration.
options = {
uuid: "33490f91-ad95-4ba9-82c4-33f6ad69fbbc"
};
blackberry.bbm.platform.register(options);
And below the post there is a short discussion:
Q: can you please indicate where/how to find the AppWorld listed application UUID
A: That isn't visible to you. It's handled automatically.
Q: So how can we use the app's AppWorld UUID to register with BBM? Which was the context in which you mentioned the UUID.
A: In your code you always use your UUID you created. When the application is downloaded from App World the OS will automatically swap out your custom UUID with the one from App World.

Currently this is not possible , Right now BBM does not provide such API may be in future release they provide that
