jcesarmobile closed CB-9963.
----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
As discussed on the dev mail list we won't add this functionality
(http://apache.markmail.org/message/7tvrrszg7zcxfcwf)
If a user really needs to persist the uuid he should use his own version of the
plugin that includes the keychain storing, or just store the initial
device.uuid value on the keychain using one of the 3rd party keychain plugins
available
> iOS uuid should remain even after uninstall

> 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.
