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。

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

虽然不完美,但却是UDID的最佳和最接近的替代品之一(在Swift中使用iOS 8.1和Xcode 6.1):

生成一个随机UUID

let strUUID: String = NSUUID().UUIDString

并使用KeychainWrapper库:

给keychain添加一个字符串值:

let saveSuccessful: Bool = KeychainWrapper.setString("Some String", forKey: "myKey")

从keychain中检索字符串值:

let retrievedString: String? = KeychainWrapper.stringForKey("myKey")

从keychain中删除一个字符串值:

let removeSuccessful: Bool = KeychainWrapper.removeObjectForKey("myKey")

该解决方案使用了keychain,因此存储在keychain中的记录将被持久化,即使在应用程序卸载和重新安装之后。删除该记录的唯一方法是重置设备的所有内容和设置。这就是为什么我提到这个替代方案并不完美,但仍然是iOS 8.1上使用Swift替代UDID的最佳方案之一。

这是我用来获取iOS 5和iOS 6,7的ID的代码:

- (NSString *) advertisingIdentifier
{
    if (!NSClassFromString(@"ASIdentifierManager")) {
        SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"uniqueIdentifier");
        if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:selector]) {
            return [[UIDevice currentDevice] performSelector:selector];
        }
    }
    return [[[ASIdentifierManager sharedManager] advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString];
}

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;

我们可以在ios7中使用identifierForVendor,

-(NSString*)uniqueIDForDevice
{
    NSString* uniqueIdentifier = nil;
    if( [UIDevice instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(identifierForVendor)] ) { // >=iOS 7
        uniqueIdentifier = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString];
    } else { //<=iOS6, Use UDID of Device       
            CFUUIDRef uuid = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
            //uniqueIdentifier = ( NSString*)CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid);- for non- ARC
            uniqueIdentifier = ( NSString*)CFBridgingRelease(CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid));// for ARC
            CFRelease(uuid);
         }
    }
return uniqueIdentifier;
}

——重要提示——

UDID和identifierForVendor是不同的:——

1.) On uninstalling  and reinstalling the app identifierForVendor will change.

2.) The value of identifierForVendor remains the same for all the apps installed from the same vendor on the device.

3.) The value of identifierForVendor also changes for all the apps if any of the app (from same vendor) is reinstalled.

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:

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。
