I just have a general question about guest login functionality. I understand the server stores a token at the client side so that everytime the user opens the app, and login as a guest the same local token is used to identify them
My 2 questions are
If the user does not open the app for few days and then starts it again, will backendless still recgonize the token or does it time out and is treated as a new user?
If the app is uninstalled and reinstalled again, I assume logging in as a guest then will mark it as a new user, right?
It depends on configured session timeout in your app. In general - yes, when token is expired you must create new guest user.
That is correct. After reinstalling user will not be recognized size token will be lost.
Guest users was created to allow users to try app features without registering in it/ When user made his mind and want to register app should just convert guest user to regular one.
If you have any other questions I will be glad to answer them.
