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
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。
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。
+ (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;
}

下面的代码有助于获得UDID:
udid = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString];
NSLog(@"UDID : %@", udid);
