>          Components: Plugin Device

> 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).
