刚刚发现,UIDevice uniqueIdentifier属性在iOS 5中已弃用,在iOS 7及以上版本中不可用。似乎没有可供选择的方法或属性。

我们现有的许多应用程序都紧密依赖于这个属性来唯一地识别特定的设备。今后我们该如何处理这个问题?

2011-2012年的文件建议:

特殊注意事项 不要使用uniqueIdentifier属性。创建特定的唯一标识符 你可以调用CFUUIDCreate函数来创建一个UUID,然后写入 使用NSUserDefaults类将它转换到默认数据库。

但是,如果用户卸载和重新安装应用程序,这个值就不一样了。


当前回答

NSLog(@ % @”,[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor]);

其他回答

MAC地址可以被欺骗,这使得这种方法对于将内容绑定到特定用户或实现黑名单等安全功能毫无用处。

经过一些进一步的研究,在我看来,我们现在没有一个合适的替代方案。我真心希望苹果能重新考虑他们的决定。

也许给苹果发邮件讨论这个话题是个好主意,或者提交一个关于这个问题的bug /功能请求,因为他们可能还没有意识到这对开发者的全部后果。

给你一个小技巧:

/**
 @method uniqueDeviceIdentifier
 @abstract A unique device identifier is a hash value composed from various hardware identifiers such
 as the device’s serial number. It is guaranteed to be unique for every device but cannot 
 be tied to a user account. [UIDevice Class Reference]
 @return An 1-way hashed identifier unique to this device.
 */
+ (NSString *)uniqueDeviceIdentifier {      
    NSString *systemId = nil;
    // We collect it as long as it is available along with a randomly generated ID.
    // This way, when this becomes unavailable we can map existing users so the
    // new vs returning counts do not break.
    if (([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 6.0f)) {
        SEL udidSelector = NSSelectorFromString(@"uniqueIdentifier");
        if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:udidSelector]) {
            systemId = [[UIDevice currentDevice] performSelector:udidSelector];
        }
    }
    else {
        systemId = [NSUUID UUID];
    }
    return systemId;
}

你可以通过以下代码实现:uidevice -with- uniqueidentifier -for ios -5

您已经可以使用Apple UDID的替代方案了。gekitz在UIDevice上写了category,它会根据设备mac地址和包标识符生成某种UDID。

你可以在github上找到代码

获得UDID的有效方法:

Launch a web server inside the app with two pages: one should return specially crafted MobileConfiguration profile and another should collect UDID. More info here, here and here. You open the first page in Mobile Safari from inside the app and it redirects you to Settings.app asking to install configuration profile. After you install the profile, UDID is sent to the second web page and you can access it from inside the app. (Settings.app has all necessary entitlements and different sandbox rules).

一个使用RoutingHTTPServer的例子:

import UIKit
import RoutingHTTPServer

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    var bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
    let server = HTTPServer()

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        application.openURL(NSURL(string: "http://localhost:55555")!)
        return true
    }

    func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
        bgTask = application.beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler() {
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {[unowned self] in
                application.endBackgroundTask(self.bgTask)
                self.bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
            }
        }
    }
}

class HTTPServer: RoutingHTTPServer {
    override init() {
        super.init()
        setPort(55555)
        handleMethod("GET", withPath: "/") {
            $1.setHeader("Content-Type", value: "application/x-apple-aspen-config")
            $1.respondWithData(NSData(contentsOfFile: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("udid", ofType: "mobileconfig")!)!)
        }
        handleMethod("POST", withPath: "/") {
            let raw = NSString(data:$0.body(), encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding) as! String
            let plistString = raw.substringWithRange(Range(start: raw.rangeOfString("<?xml")!.startIndex,end: raw.rangeOfString("</plist>")!.endIndex))
            let plist = NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithData(plistString.dataUsingEncoding(NSISOLatin1StringEncoding)!, options: .allZeros, format: nil, error: nil) as! [String:String]

            let udid = plist["UDID"]! 
            println(udid) // Here is your UDID!

            $1.statusCode = 200
            $1.respondWithString("see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/ConfigurationProfileExamples/ConfigurationProfileExamples.html")
        }
        start(nil)
    }
}

下面是udid.mobileconfig的内容:

配置文件安装将失败(我没有费心实现预期的响应,请参阅文档),但应用程序将获得正确的UDID。你还应该在mobileconfig上签名。
