Hi @kabus202, thanks for your note! I aim to solve this issue. Could you please specify the problem in a little bit more details? Do you receive different IDs every application start, or simply had it refreshed once, after OS update. Thanks!

Hi Paldom, I'm running this plugin with ionic. I'm getting different id's when i'm refreshing the app on live reload. It's not changing continues. but because i'm saving the id to database, i saw 4 id's instead of 1.

Kind regards, Lokman

Hi @kabus202,

I've tested on iOS 9.2 device and emulator, the IDs are the same with pure PhoneGap. After app reinstalls (if it means uninstall too), it may wipe out NSUserDeafuls for that application. This may cause the loss off the generated UUID, if you don't have iCloud enabled to save user settings for you.
As I know, there isnt any better solution for this :(

Hi Paldom,

What i did for iOS was save the ID to the keychain. I won't change anymore :)
