[Feature Request] is it possible to not backup device details like device id?

I am restoring an app with data but it also restores device details and because of this I can't create new account on this device. The app allows only one account per device. I want to restore all data but not device details

Are you restoring to the same device or different device?

there is no standard how apps manage their dependencies on certain ids etc. basically everything is possible. Add keystore (which cannot be read nor restored), and you are screwed.

It could theoretically be possible that the device data is one of the data parts (data, device protected data, external data, obb, media), then excluding that might help. Also consider cache and no_backup (which are global options).

Or you find out where the "device" data is stored and delete it manually before starting the app.

But I guess it's all about keystore.
