[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier] is deprecated in iOS5
APPLE DOCUMENTATION:
To create a unique identifier specific to your app, you can call the
CFUUIDCreate
function
to create a UUID, and write it to the defaults database
using the NSUserDefaults
/*
* Generates UUID using CFUUIDCreate
*/
- (NSString *) generateUUID
{
NSString * result;
CFUUIDRef uuid;
CFStringRef uuidStr;
uuid = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
assert(uuid != NULL);
uuidStr = CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid);
assert(uuidStr != NULL);
result = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", uuidStr];
assert(result != nil);
CFRelease(uuidStr);
CFRelease(uuid);
return result;
}
// Use the Below Code to save the UUID into the NSUserDefaults, so that we can use, anywhere in the application.
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *fetchUUID = [defaults objectForKey:@"UUID"];
if (fetchedUUID == nil || [fetchedUUID isEqualToString:@""])
{
NSLog(@"Checking in if");
[defaults setObject:[self generateUUID] forKey:@"UUID"];
}
fetchUUID = [defaults objectForKey:@"UUID"];
Use the above code to get UUID in iOS5.
