Creating a new AppID for Every Update
Options
I am in the process of developing an online multiplayer system for a mobile game. Since the AppID can be cracked fairly easily, especially on Android, I am wondering if it is feasible to deactivate the old AppID and create a new one every update. By deactivating the old AppID, this should stop users on cracked versions of the app from joining multiplayer, forcing players to update to the newest version to grab the new AppID. Is this something that is possible? Will I reach some sort of app creation limit after some time?

This is not feasible - first step to handle this is to add authentication and have a system to identify and block hackers etc.0

Hi @TheStreetKing,
Thank you for choosing Photon!
I wanted to add that you can simply change the AppVersion on each update and only players on the same AppId/AppVersion combination will be able to play with each other (also they need to be on the same region).
