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。

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

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;

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

您可能想要考虑使用OpenUDID,它是已弃用UDID的临时替代品。

基本上,要匹配UDID,需要以下特性:

唯一的或足够唯一的(低概率碰撞是 可能是可以接受的) 跨重启、恢复、卸载的持久性 在不同供应商的应用程序中可用(通过CPI网络获取用户很有用)-

OpenUDID实现了上述功能,甚至有一个内置的选择退出机制供以后考虑。

检查http://OpenUDID.org,它指向相应的GitHub。 希望这能有所帮助!

作为旁注,我将回避任何MAC地址的替代方案。虽然MAC地址似乎是一种诱人的通用解决方案,但要确保这个唾手可得的果实是有毒的。MAC地址是非常敏感的,在你说“提交这个应用程序”之前,苹果可能会非常反对访问这个地址……MAC网络地址用于对wlan (private lan)或其他vpn (virtual private network)中的某些设备进行认证。它甚至比以前的UDID更敏感!

+ (NSString *) getUniqueUUID {
    NSError * error;
    NSString * uuid = [KeychainUtils getPasswordForUsername:kBuyassUser andServiceName:kIdOgBetilngService error:&error];
    if (error) {
    NSLog(@"Error geting unique UUID for this device! %@", [error localizedDescription]);
    return nil;
    }
    if (!uuid) {
        DLog(@"No UUID found. Creating a new one.");
        uuid = [IDManager GetUUID];
        uuid = [Util md5String:uuid];
        [KeychainUtils storeUsername:USER_NAME andPassword:uuid forServiceName:SERVICE_NAME updateExisting:YES error:&error];
        if (error) {
            NSLog(@"Error getting unique UUID for this device! %@", [error localizedDescription]);
            return nil;
        }
    }
    return uuid;
}

iOS 6中引入的UIDevice identifierForVendor可以满足你的需求。

identifierForVendor是一个字母数字字符串,用于唯一标识应用程序供应商的设备。(只读)

@property(nonatomic, readonly, retain) NSUUID *identifierForVendor

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返回不同的值,对于不同设备上的应用程序返回不同的值,与供应商无关。

在iOS 6.0及更高版本中可用,在UIDevice.h中声明

对于iOS 5,请参考此链接UIDevice-with-UniqueIdentifier-for-iOS-5
