General Identifier discussion

• Identifier implementation here is done via using App groups. This is the easiest way from the developer perspective but harder from the consumer perspective.
• The consumer in addition will have to adapt their apps to use the group via Entitlements.
• This is a level 1 accuracy of identifier because it only relies on generated UUID. In order to increase the level location/ip/advertising identifier can be added.
• The identifier is persistent on the device as long as at least one app has it. If all apps are deleted with the sdk or the device is wiped the identifier is lost.
