Unique ID on IOS? #6

Closed winstef closed 9 years ago

Hi,

After reading that the uuid on iOS is not unique to a device using the apache cordova device plugin, I was wondering if your plugin was different from it? How does it work with iOS? is it a unique ID that I can rely on?

Thank you.

Hi @winstef, sorry for late response, hope I can still help. Since iOS 7, the device ID is not available on iOS platform, but this plugin uses a different solution: an unique ID is automatically generated before the first use and is saved to the device keychain. This UUID remains the same after app uninstall, system update etc.
