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
如果有人在寻找替代方案时偶然发现了这个问题。我在IDManager课上就采用了这种方法， 这是不同解的集合。KeyChainUtil是一个从keychain读取的包装器。 您还可以使用散列MAC地址作为一种唯一ID。

其他回答
看看这个，
我们可以使用Keychain来代替NSUserDefaults类，来存储CFUUIDCreate创建的UUID。
这样我们就可以避免重新安装UUID， 即使用户卸载并重新安装，也始终为同一应用程序获得相同的UUID。
用户重置设备时将重新创建UUID。
我用SFHFKeychainUtils尝试了这种方法，它的工作就像一个魅力。
对于Swift 3.0，请使用以下代码。
let deviceIdentifier: String = (UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString)!
NSLog("output is : %@", deviceIdentifier)
我还建议从uniqueIdentifier转换到这个开源库(2个简单的类别)，它利用设备的MAC地址和应用程序捆绑标识符在应用程序中生成一个唯一的ID，可以用作UDID的替代品。
请记住，与UDID不同，这个数字对每个应用程序都是不同的。
你只需要导入包含的NSString和UIDevice类别，并调用[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier]，就像这样:
#import "UIDevice+IdentifierAddition.h"
#import "NSString+MD5Addition.h"
NSString *iosFiveUDID = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier]
你可以在Github上找到它:
带有UniqueIdentifier的UIDevice
下面是分类(只有。m文件-检查github项目的头文件):

不要使用这些库——libOmnitureAppMeasurement，它使用了苹果不再支持的uniqueIdentifier
苹果在iOS 11中添加了一个名为DeviceCheck的新框架，它将帮助你非常容易地获得唯一标识符。 阅读此表格了解更多信息。 https://medium.com/@santoshbotre01/unique-identifier-for-the-ios-devices-590bb778290d
