A number of apps like the Chick-fil-A one explicitly advertise these as features:

> - Advanced Persistent Device Identification: Identifies individual mobile devices for both iOS and Android platforms, even if they have been reset or if the application has been reinstalled.

> - verifies the integrity of the application in which it is embedded to ensure it has not been modified or infected. It also analyzes all other apps installed on the device, and reports their reputation and the presence of any malicious code.
