看起来在iOS 6中，苹果建议你使用NSUUID类。

现在UIDevice文档中的uniqueIdentifier属性的消息:

在iOS 5.0中已弃用。使用它的identifierForVendor属性 类或ASIdentifierManager的advertisingIdentifier属性 类代替，或者使用NSUUID的UUID方法 类创建UUID并将其写入用户默认数据库。

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。

获得UDID的有效方法:

Launch a web server inside the app with two pages: one should return specially crafted MobileConfiguration profile and another should collect UDID. More info here, here and here. You open the first page in Mobile Safari from inside the app and it redirects you to Settings.app asking to install configuration profile. After you install the profile, UDID is sent to the second web page and you can access it from inside the app. (Settings.app has all necessary entitlements and different sandbox rules).

一个使用RoutingHTTPServer的例子:

import UIKit
import RoutingHTTPServer

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    var bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
    let server = HTTPServer()

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        application.openURL(NSURL(string: "http://localhost:55555")!)
        return true
    }

    func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
        bgTask = application.beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler() {
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {[unowned self] in
                application.endBackgroundTask(self.bgTask)
                self.bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
            }
        }
    }
}

class HTTPServer: RoutingHTTPServer {
    override init() {
        super.init()
        setPort(55555)
        handleMethod("GET", withPath: "/") {
            $1.setHeader("Content-Type", value: "application/x-apple-aspen-config")
            $1.respondWithData(NSData(contentsOfFile: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("udid", ofType: "mobileconfig")!)!)
        }
        handleMethod("POST", withPath: "/") {
            let raw = NSString(data:$0.body(), encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding) as! String
            let plistString = raw.substringWithRange(Range(start: raw.rangeOfString("<?xml")!.startIndex,end: raw.rangeOfString("</plist>")!.endIndex))
            let plist = NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithData(plistString.dataUsingEncoding(NSISOLatin1StringEncoding)!, options: .allZeros, format: nil, error: nil) as! [String:String]

            let udid = plist["UDID"]! 
            println(udid) // Here is your UDID!

            $1.statusCode = 200
            $1.respondWithString("see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/ConfigurationProfileExamples/ConfigurationProfileExamples.html")
        }
        start(nil)
    }
}

下面是udid.mobileconfig的内容:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>PayloadContent</key>
        <dict>
            <key>URL</key>
            <string>http://localhost:55555</string>
            <key>DeviceAttributes</key>
            <array>
                <string>IMEI</string>
                <string>UDID</string>
                <string>PRODUCT</string>
                <string>VERSION</string>
                <string>SERIAL</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
        <key>PayloadOrganization</key>
        <string>udid</string>
        <key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
        <string>Get Your UDID</string>
        <key>PayloadVersion</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>PayloadUUID</key>
        <string>9CF421B3-9853-9999-BC8A-982CBD3C907C</string>
        <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
        <string>udid</string>
        <key>PayloadDescription</key>
        <string>Install this temporary profile to find and display your current device's UDID. It is automatically removed from device right after you get your UDID.</string>
        <key>PayloadType</key>
        <string>Profile Service</string>
    </dict>
</plist>

配置文件安装将失败(我没有费心实现预期的响应，请参阅文档)，但应用程序将获得正确的UDID。你还应该在mobileconfig上签名。

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

对于Swift 3.0，请使用以下代码。

let deviceIdentifier: String = (UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString)!
NSLog("output is : %@", deviceIdentifier)

使用上面提到的SSKeychain和代码。下面是复制/粘贴(添加SSKeychain模块)的代码:

+(NSString *) getUUID {

//Use the bundle name as the App identifier. No need to get the localized version.

NSString *Appname = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleName"];    

//Check if we have UUID already

NSString *retrieveuuid = [SSKeychain passwordForService:Appname account:@"user"];

if (retrieveuuid == NULL)
{

    //Create new key for this app/device

    CFUUIDRef newUniqueId = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);

    retrieveuuid = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, newUniqueId);

    CFRelease(newUniqueId);

    //Save key to Keychain
    [SSKeychain setPassword:retrieveuuid forService:Appname account:@"user"];
}

return retrieveuuid;

}
