How to stop collecting the SSAID (android_id)?

The SSAID or android_id is a persistent hardware identifier that is “common between apps signed by the same developer signing key.” Branch utilizes this for many use cases such as Fraud and to provide the best user experience across different apps. If you wish for Branch not to collect the SSAID, you can call Branch.disableDeviceIDFetch() within onCreate() of your Application Class.

When this method is enabled, the SDK will fallback to generating a UUID as a hardware id.
