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。
我相信苹果公司的这一变化惹恼了很多人。我开发了一个iOS的簿记应用程序,并有一个在线服务来同步不同设备上的更改。该服务维护所有设备的数据库以及需要传播到这些设备的更改。因此,了解哪种设备是哪种设备很重要。我使用UIDevice uniqueIdentifier跟踪设备,为了它的价值,这里是我的想法。
Generate a UUID and store in user defaults?
No good because this does not persist when the user deletes the app. If they install again later the online service should not create a new device record, that would waste resources on the server and give a list of devices containing the same one two or more times. Users would see more than one "Bob's iPhone" listed if they re-installed the app.
Generate a UUID and store in the keychain?
This was my plan, since it persists even when the app is uninstalled. But when restoring an iTunes backup to a new iOS device, the keychain is transferred if the backup is encrypted. This could lead to two devices containing the same device id if the old and new devices are both in service. These should be listed as two devices in the online service, even if the device name is the same.
Generate a hash the MAC address and bundle id?
This looks like the best solution for what I need. By hashing with the bundle id, the generated device id is not going to enable the device to be tracked across apps and I get a unique ID for the app+device combination.
有趣的是,苹果自己的文档提到通过计算系统Mac地址加上bundle id和版本的哈希来验证Mac App Store收据。所以这似乎是政策允许的,但是否通过应用审查我还不知道。
根据@moonlight提出的链接,我做了几次测试,这似乎是最好的解决方案。正如@DarkDust所说,该方法将检查始终可用的en0。
有两种选择:
uniqueDeviceIdentifier (MAC+CFBundleIdentifier的MD5)
和uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier(MAC的MD5),这些总是返回相同的值。
下面是我所做的测试(用真正的设备):
#import "UIDevice+IdentifierAddition.h"
NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier]);
NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier]);

希望对大家有用。
编辑:
正如其他人指出的那样,这个解决方案在iOS 7中不再有用,因为uniqueIdentifier不再可用,查询MAC地址现在总是返回02:00:00:00:00:00
