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。

我相信苹果公司的这一变化惹恼了很多人。我开发了一个iOS的簿记应用程序,并有一个在线服务来同步不同设备上的更改。该服务维护所有设备的数据库以及需要传播到这些设备的更改。因此,了解哪种设备是哪种设备很重要。我使用UIDevice uniqueIdentifier跟踪设备,为了它的价值,这里是我的想法。

Generate a UUID and store in user defaults? No good because this does not persist when the user deletes the app. If they install again later the online service should not create a new device record, that would waste resources on the server and give a list of devices containing the same one two or more times. Users would see more than one "Bob's iPhone" listed if they re-installed the app. Generate a UUID and store in the keychain? This was my plan, since it persists even when the app is uninstalled. But when restoring an iTunes backup to a new iOS device, the keychain is transferred if the backup is encrypted. This could lead to two devices containing the same device id if the old and new devices are both in service. These should be listed as two devices in the online service, even if the device name is the same. Generate a hash the MAC address and bundle id? This looks like the best solution for what I need. By hashing with the bundle id, the generated device id is not going to enable the device to be tracked across apps and I get a unique ID for the app+device combination.

有趣的是,苹果自己的文档提到通过计算系统Mac地址加上bundle id和版本的哈希来验证Mac App Store收据。所以这似乎是政策允许的,但是否通过应用审查我还不知道。

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。

不要使用这些库——libOmnitureAppMeasurement,它使用了苹果不再支持的uniqueIdentifier

+ (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;
}

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。
