# AIR

AIR is short for **Advertising Identifier Reset**.\

A utility app for **Rooted Devices** to clear / reset Advertising Identifier.\

AIR also supports periodic identifier resets via `WorkManager` api. Can be enabled / disabled via

Settings tab.

The App handles all the device formats i.e.

- Devices with GMS Installed

- Devices without GMS Installation (Huawei, Other Core Chinese phones, etc.)

## How AIR works

For devices with GMS Installed, the process is pretty straightforward which simply deletes the

file `adid_settings.xml`!

On devices without GMS, you'll have to paste the `Advertising Identifier` ***once*** so that the app

can traverse the filesystem & store the path of the file that contains the identifier.\

This is used then to fetch the identifier which can be deleted anytime (if it exists).

**Note:** There can be instances where multiple files contain the provided identifier, the path of

the first file is used in that case.\

Yes I do plan to do something about that in the future.

### But Why?

- I was bored 😤

- I don't want that blue colored big bad to show me Ads about the things I've just thought about 😂

- I didn't wanna navigate to Settings everytime 🤷‍♂️
