    • An application instance identifier.

      This identifies an instance of Yacht-Sentry. It is created each time Yacht-Sentry is installed on a device and it is destroyed every time you delete Yacht-Sentry from your phone or tablet.

      As a result, alerts triggered after a fresh installation will use a new identifier meaning that they are not linked to alerts from a previous Yacht-Sentry (even on the same device).
