What exactly do you want to achieve with this unique id?

You could generate a f.e. 64 chars long token at the very first start of the app. Of course this ID will be lost, if the user uninstalls the app or the device is lost/destroyed but then your have other options as you store the email address (like renew the token on a new device and the old token is deleted).

I've added a message in the tutorial about it being irrelevant now.
