--------------------------------------------------------------
No FileEntry.setMetadata is a no-op for the other implementations, and may be
implemented. Adding this new function is useless for the other implementations.
With iOS 6 beta out - we will be going with Apple's recommendation in UIDevice
as stated in their docs (need Apple Dev login):
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_Class/DeprecationAppendix/AppendixADeprecatedAPI.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIDevice/uniqueIdentifier
(note, link only works in Safari for some reason - Chrome/Firefox complains)
Basically - we will just create a new UUID per app instance like our docs
mentioned.

> Key: CB-49
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-49
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Environment: iOS 5
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>

> reported at: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone/issues/238
> by: https://github.com/sandstrom
> 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).
