WSA advertising identifieur issue

Target Platforms Desktop
1

Hi everybody,

I have an issue with the advertising Identifier for the platform WSA for windows 10.

I call the ad id this way :

string advertisingID = string.empty;
advertisingID = UnityEngine.WSA.Application.advertisingIdentifier;

But it always return an empty string. I have of course make available the advertising id in systeme->security
I try with unity 5.2.0 / 5.3.0 / 5.4.3 / 5.5.0

I make an UWP empty projet (WSA for unity) to check if i can have access to this advertising id without using unity and I can.

Does someone had this issue ?

ps: the only solution i found is to create a dll for UWP to get this advertising ID, but i found this overkill.

The implementation of that property is just returning advertising ID directly:

Windows::System::UserProfile::AdvertisingManager::AdvertisingId

Do you have a simple repro project for this issue?
