Does System.get_property('phone_id') always return a value?

[James Sumners]

I posted a more thorough question at [1], but the subject really says
it all. What are the possible return values of System.get_property()?

Surely someone knows the answer to this question?

No, you shouldn't rely on it always returning a value, it depends on the platform though. This has been discussed in the forums before, plus Apple is discontinuing support for phone ID in iOS5

True, "[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]" has been
deprecated as of iOS 5. But other people have resolved that
problem[1].

So what does this method return when it doesn't return a value? How am
I supposed to check if the call "succeeded" or "failed"?

I also noticed the Titanium guys supporting it from within the frameworl as well, so yes, it can be solved, I'm just saying that right now Rhodes doesn't and it seems the different vendors are discouraging the use of something like that.

 

My undestanding is that it returns nil, as with every other missing property when using System.get_property

Thank you. I wish the documentation would actually state that.
