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。

其他回答
也许你可以用:
[UIDevice currentDevice].identifierForVendor.UUIDString
苹果的文档对identifierforvendor的描述如下:
对于运行在同一设备上的来自同一供应商的应用程序，此属性的值是相同的。对于同一设备上来自不同供应商的应用程序，以及不同设备上的应用程序，无论供应商如何，都会返回不同的值。

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:
