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。

根据@moonlight提出的链接,我做了几次测试,这似乎是最好的解决方案。正如@DarkDust所说,该方法将检查始终可用的en0。 有两种选择: uniqueDeviceIdentifier (MAC+CFBundleIdentifier的MD5) 和uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier(MAC的MD5),这些总是返回相同的值。 下面是我所做的测试(用真正的设备):

#import "UIDevice+IdentifierAddition.h"

NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier]);
NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier]);

XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (WIFI)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (WIFI)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (3G)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (3G)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (GPRS)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (GPRS)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (AirPlane mode)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (AirPlane mode)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (Wi-Fi)after removing and reinstalling the app XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX (Wi-Fi) after removing and installing the app

希望对大家有用。

编辑: 正如其他人指出的那样,这个解决方案在iOS 7中不再有用,因为uniqueIdentifier不再可用,查询MAC地址现在总是返回02:00:00:00:00:00

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。

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">

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。

创建自己的UUID,然后将其存储在Keychain中。因此,即使你的应用程序被卸载,它仍然存在。在许多情况下,即使用户在设备之间迁移(例如完全备份并恢复到另一个设备),它也会持续存在。

实际上,就您所关心的而言,它成为唯一的用户标识符。(甚至比设备标识符更好)。

例子:

我正在定义一个自定义方法来创建一个UUID:

- (NSString *)createNewUUID 
{
    CFUUIDRef theUUID = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
    CFStringRef string = CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, theUUID);
    CFRelease(theUUID);
    return [(NSString *)string autorelease];
}

然后,你可以在应用的第一次启动时将它存储在KEYCHAIN中。因此,在第一次启动后,我们可以简单地从KEYCHAIN中使用它,不需要重新生成它。使用Keychain存储的主要原因是:当你将UUID设置为Keychain时,即使用户完全卸载了应用程序,然后重新安装它,它也会持续存在。这是存储它的永久方式,这意味着键会一直是唯一的。

     #import "SSKeychain.h"
     #import <Security/Security.h>

在应用程序启动包括以下代码:

 // getting the unique key (if present ) from keychain , assuming "your app identifier" as a key
       NSString *retrieveuuid = [SSKeychain passwordForService:@"your app identifier" account:@"user"];
      if (retrieveuuid == nil) { // if this is the first time app lunching , create key for device
        NSString *uuid  = [self createNewUUID];
// save newly created key to Keychain
        [SSKeychain setPassword:uuid forService:@"your app identifier" account:@"user"];
// this is the one time process
}

下载SSKeychain。m和.h文件从sskeychain和拖动sskeychain。m和.h文件到你的项目,并添加“Security.framework”到你的项目。 要使用UUID,只需使用:

NSString *retrieveuuid = [SSKeychain passwordForService:@"your app identifier" account:@"user"];

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;

}

从ios6开始,我们有了NSUUID类,它符合RFC4122
