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。

使用上面提到的SSKeychain和代码。下面是复制/粘贴(添加SSKeychain模块)的代码:

+(NSString *) getUUID {

//Use the bundle name as the App identifier. No need to get the localized version.

NSString *Appname = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleName"];    

//Check if we have UUID already

NSString *retrieveuuid = [SSKeychain passwordForService:Appname account:@"user"];

if (retrieveuuid == NULL)
{

    //Create new key for this app/device

    CFUUIDRef newUniqueId = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);

    retrieveuuid = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, newUniqueId);

    CFRelease(newUniqueId);

    //Save key to Keychain
    [SSKeychain setPassword:retrieveuuid forService:Appname account:@"user"];
}

return retrieveuuid;

}

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:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>PayloadContent</key>
        <dict>
            <key>URL</key>
            <string>http://localhost:55555</string>
            <key>DeviceAttributes</key>
            <array>
                <string>IMEI</string>
                <string>UDID</string>
                <string>PRODUCT</string>
                <string>VERSION</string>
                <string>SERIAL</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
        <key>PayloadOrganization</key>
        <string>udid</string>
        <key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
        <string>Get Your UDID</string>
        <key>PayloadVersion</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>PayloadUUID</key>
        <string>9CF421B3-9853-9999-BC8A-982CBD3C907C</string>
        <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
        <string>udid</string>
        <key>PayloadDescription</key>
        <string>Install this temporary profile to find and display your current device's UDID. It is automatically removed from device right after you get your UDID.</string>
        <key>PayloadType</key>
        <string>Profile Service</string>
    </dict>
</plist>

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。

我也遇到了一些问题，解决方法很简单:

    // Get Bundle Info for Remote Registration (handy if you have more than one app)
    NSString *appName = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];
    NSString *appVersion = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleVersion"];


    // Get the users Device Model, Display Name, Unique ID, Token & Version Number
    UIDevice *dev = [UIDevice currentDevice];
    NSString *deviceUuid=[dev.identifierForVendor  UUIDString];

    NSString *deviceName = dev.name;

从iOS 7开始，苹果在所有公共api中都隐藏了UDID。任何以FFFF开头的UDID都是假ID。以前工作的“发送UDID”应用程序不能再用于为测试设备收集UDID。(叹息)

当设备连接到XCode(在管理器中)时，UDID会显示出来，当设备连接到iTunes时(尽管你必须单击“Serial Number”才能显示标识符)。

如果你需要获取设备的UDID来添加到配置配置文件中，并且不能自己在XCode中完成，你将不得不从iTunes中复制/粘贴它。

自iOS 7发布以来，是否有一种方法可以在PC/Mac上不使用iTunes获得UDID ?

iOS 11引入了DeviceCheck框架。它有一个完整的解决方案，唯一地识别设备。
