---------------------------------
Summary: iOS uuid should remain even after uninstall
Key: CB-9963
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9963
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin Device
Environment: iOS
Reporter: Mike Murkovic
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.
