In my tests, when the app is installed from the app store it doesn't change 
even if I don't have any of my apps installed, when I install it from xcode or 
adhoc (including testflight testing) it changes if I don't have any of my apps 
installed

> The readme states that an iOS quirk is that it is using the 
> identifierForVendor, which remains immutable until every app by one vendor is 
> uninstalled. Typically I'd imagine developers are making one app - and so if 
> the single app gets uninstalled, they lose the uuid and it appears to be a 
> "new" device on reinstall.
> Instead, we should consider using the CFUUIDCreate to create a unique ID on 
> startup, and insert it into the SSKeyChain of the device. Then when an app is 
> installed, it should check to see if there already is a UUID in the key chain 
> before generating a new one. Example: 
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7273014/ios-unique-user-identifier/8677177#answer-8677177
> If the device is flashed or reinstalled, then I guess it will still be a 
> problem. I wish we could get a totally unique ID for that actual physical 
> device.
