Avidan Chen commented on CB-49:
-------------------------------
Is there any chance the above implementation
(https://github.com/gekitz/UIDevice-with-UniqueIdentifier-for-iOS-5) will be
implemented into Apache Cordova iOS? I really need a way to identify a device
in a consistent manner, even if the user uninstalls and re-installs my app
(further explanation on why exactly I need that can be found here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/phonegap/UUID/phonegap/benUNTXTUYM/La-9PJSNVI0J).

The current implementation of device.uuid in iOS gives me a different value
every time I update my app or uninstalls and re-installs it, which is a really
big issue for me.

> 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).
