How to get device token id of windows phone for push notification?

Question

I am creating a windows phone 8 app in phone gap + mobile jquery using visual studio 2012. I want to get the device token id from the device for push notifications. Can anyone guide me as to how can I get device token id of windows phone 8?

Answer 1

You can use the DeviceExtendedProperties -

byte[] myDeviceID = (byte[])Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceExtendedProperties.GetValue("DeviceUniqueId");
string idAsString = Convert.ToBase64String(myDeviceID);

Answer 2

For what reason you need the device ID? In Windows Phone 8 you need to get a Push Notification cannel, that is an URL that unique identify your app & device combination. Later you use that URL to send your Notification XML to the Microsoft Push Notification Services. You can take a look at how Notifications work here.
