Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-49:
------------------------------------
Using [UIDevice uniqueIdentifier] is no good - Apple is rejecting apps that use
it even though its deprecated and can be used (and they have). I posted this
whole bug thread on the callback-dev mailing list - the other devs didn't have
any support for your proposed solution (earlier, not your latest comment) and
are thinking of (my proposal of) eliminating uuid entirely and using a
JavaScript generated uuid and saving to localStorage (precisely what Apple
recommends).
So the plan (right now, unless we scrap uuid) is to do what Apple recommends
(generate a uuid and save to user defaults), and in iOS 6, use the new
functions.

> As you might have read iOS 5 will remove the UDID
> (http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/19/apple-ios-5-phasing-out-udid/).
> This is an excellent alternative and it would be nice if you would implement
> something along these lines to keep the functionality. The idea of hashing
> together with the bundle id is great, because it makes it impossible to track
> across applications, which is what apple wanted to fix (although it can be
> circumvented that would only anger them, and tracking across apps isn't
> required for most apps anyway).
