Get MCVID from mobile app SDK

[chrisludwig87]

Hi,

we've implemented the mobile app SDK and are now transferring and aligning context data to the appropriate eVars in AA. We used to track the Marketing Cloud Visitor ID from our websites for exporting reasons and I simply don't know which context data element to use to get the same value from the app. Is it simply not available or am I just not seeing it?

It's not available.... I had to get our developers create a custom context variable to pass the information so that I could map it in Processing Rules......

[chrisludwig87]

Would that mean using the "getTrackingIdentifier" functionality?

@chrisludwig87 You should pass the MID in your track state and tract action calls by calling this function "getMarketingCloudVisitorID"  and populate in a context data variable and map it to an eVar using processing rules

Is this really working exactly the same way with the Mobile App SDK?

@chrisludwig87 Yes, it should
