             Summary: device is not populated in iOS 5.1.1
                 Key: CB-10631
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10631
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin Device
         Environment: iOS 5.1.1
            Reporter: Thomas Allen


The device plugin doesn't work in iOS 5.1.1 because the unique device 
identifier uses identifierForVendor to get the device uuid. However this is not 
valid in iOS older than 6.0.

In the method uniqueAppInstanceIdentifier, there is a reference to maintaining 
backward compatibility for versions that didn't use identiferForVendor. 
Unfortunately the code only works if the app had previously been installed on 
that device (because it looks for the CDVUUID that was previously stored on the 
device). If the install is new, this app_uuid is nil and it tries to use 
identifierForVendor.

I realize that iOS 5 is no longer supported in Cordova, but since the code 
attempts to be backward compatible (based on the inline comments), I figured 
this could be fixed with a few lines of code (which I have done and will submit 
shortly).
