获得UDID的有效方法:

Launch a web server inside the app with two pages: one should return specially crafted MobileConfiguration profile and another should collect UDID. More info here, here and here. You open the first page in Mobile Safari from inside the app and it redirects you to Settings.app asking to install configuration profile. After you install the profile, UDID is sent to the second web page and you can access it from inside the app. (Settings.app has all necessary entitlements and different sandbox rules).

一个使用RoutingHTTPServer的例子:

import UIKit
import RoutingHTTPServer

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    var bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
    let server = HTTPServer()

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        application.openURL(NSURL(string: "http://localhost:55555")!)
        return true
    }

    func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
        bgTask = application.beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler() {
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {[unowned self] in
                application.endBackgroundTask(self.bgTask)
                self.bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid
            }
        }
    }
}

class HTTPServer: RoutingHTTPServer {
    override init() {
        super.init()
        setPort(55555)
        handleMethod("GET", withPath: "/") {
            $1.setHeader("Content-Type", value: "application/x-apple-aspen-config")
            $1.respondWithData(NSData(contentsOfFile: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("udid", ofType: "mobileconfig")!)!)
        }
        handleMethod("POST", withPath: "/") {
            let raw = NSString(data:$0.body(), encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding) as! String
            let plistString = raw.substringWithRange(Range(start: raw.rangeOfString("<?xml")!.startIndex,end: raw.rangeOfString("</plist>")!.endIndex))
            let plist = NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithData(plistString.dataUsingEncoding(NSISOLatin1StringEncoding)!, options: .allZeros, format: nil, error: nil) as! [String:String]

            let udid = plist["UDID"]! 
            println(udid) // Here is your UDID!

            $1.statusCode = 200
            $1.respondWithString("see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/ConfigurationProfileExamples/ConfigurationProfileExamples.html")
        }
        start(nil)
    }
}

下面是udid.mobileconfig的内容:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

配置文件安装将失败(我没有费心实现预期的响应，请参阅文档)，但应用程序将获得正确的UDID。你还应该在mobileconfig上签名。

我相信苹果公司的这一变化惹恼了很多人。我开发了一个iOS的簿记应用程序，并有一个在线服务来同步不同设备上的更改。该服务维护所有设备的数据库以及需要传播到这些设备的更改。因此，了解哪种设备是哪种设备很重要。我使用UIDevice uniqueIdentifier跟踪设备，为了它的价值，这里是我的想法。

Generate a UUID and store in user defaults? No good because this does not persist when the user deletes the app. If they install again later the online service should not create a new device record, that would waste resources on the server and give a list of devices containing the same one two or more times. Users would see more than one "Bob's iPhone" listed if they re-installed the app. Generate a UUID and store in the keychain? This was my plan, since it persists even when the app is uninstalled. But when restoring an iTunes backup to a new iOS device, the keychain is transferred if the backup is encrypted. This could lead to two devices containing the same device id if the old and new devices are both in service. These should be listed as two devices in the online service, even if the device name is the same. Generate a hash the MAC address and bundle id? This looks like the best solution for what I need. By hashing with the bundle id, the generated device id is not going to enable the device to be tracked across apps and I get a unique ID for the app+device combination.

有趣的是，苹果自己的文档提到通过计算系统Mac地址加上bundle id和版本的哈希来验证Mac App Store收据。所以这似乎是政策允许的，但是否通过应用审查我还不知道。

虽然不完美，但却是UDID的最佳和最接近的替代品之一(在Swift中使用iOS 8.1和Xcode 6.1):

生成一个随机UUID

let strUUID: String = NSUUID().UUIDString

并使用KeychainWrapper库:

给keychain添加一个字符串值:

let saveSuccessful: Bool = KeychainWrapper.setString("Some String", forKey: "myKey")

从keychain中检索字符串值:

let retrievedString: String? = KeychainWrapper.stringForKey("myKey")

从keychain中删除一个字符串值:

let removeSuccessful: Bool = KeychainWrapper.removeObjectForKey("myKey")

该解决方案使用了keychain，因此存储在keychain中的记录将被持久化，即使在应用程序卸载和重新安装之后。删除该记录的唯一方法是重置设备的所有内容和设置。这就是为什么我提到这个替代方案并不完美，但仍然是iOS 8.1上使用Swift替代UDID的最佳方案之一。

根据@moonlight提出的链接，我做了几次测试，这似乎是最好的解决方案。正如@DarkDust所说，该方法将检查始终可用的en0。 有两种选择: uniqueDeviceIdentifier (MAC+CFBundleIdentifier的MD5) 和uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier(MAC的MD5)，这些总是返回相同的值。 下面是我所做的测试(用真正的设备):

#import "UIDevice+IdentifierAddition.h"

NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier]);
NSLog(@"%@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier]);

XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (WIFI)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (WIFI)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (3G)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (3G)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (GPRS)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (GPRS)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (AirPlane mode)UDID XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX - (AirPlane mode)GlobalAppUDID XXXX21f1f19edff198e2a2356bf4XXXX - (Wi-Fi)after removing and reinstalling the app XXXX7dc3c577446a2bcbd77935bdXXXX (Wi-Fi) after removing and installing the app

希望对大家有用。

编辑: 正如其他人指出的那样，这个解决方案在iOS 7中不再有用，因为uniqueIdentifier不再可用，查询MAC地址现在总是返回02:00:00:00:00:00

使用上面提到的SSKeychain和代码。下面是复制/粘贴(添加SSKeychain模块)的代码:

+(NSString *) getUUID {

//Use the bundle name as the App identifier. No need to get the localized version.

NSString *Appname = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleName"];    

//Check if we have UUID already

NSString *retrieveuuid = [SSKeychain passwordForService:Appname account:@"user"];

if (retrieveuuid == NULL)
{

    //Create new key for this app/device

    CFUUIDRef newUniqueId = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);

    retrieveuuid = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, newUniqueId);

    CFRelease(newUniqueId);

    //Save key to Keychain
    [SSKeychain setPassword:retrieveuuid forService:Appname account:@"user"];
}

return retrieveuuid;

}

如果有人在寻找替代方案时偶然发现了这个问题。我在IDManager课上就采用了这种方法， 这是不同解的集合。KeyChainUtil是一个从keychain读取的包装器。 您还可以使用散列MAC地址作为一种唯一ID。
