在开发过程中，我们经常会被要求获取每个设备的唯一标示，以便后台做相应的处理。我们来看看有哪些方法来获取设备的唯一标示，然后再分析下这些方法的利弊。
具体可以分为如下几种：
- UDID
- IDFA
- IDFV
- MAC
- keychain
下面我们来具体分析下每种获取方法的利弊
1、UDID
什么是UDID
UDID 「Unique Device Identifier Description」是由子母和数字组成的40个字符串的序号，用来区别每一个唯一的iOS设备，包括 iPhones, iPads, 以及 iPod touches，这些编码看起来是随机的，实际上是跟硬件设备特点相联系的，另外你可以到iTunes，pp助手或itools等软件查看你的udid（设备标识）
如下图所示：

UDID是用来干什么的？
UDID可以关联其它各种数据到相关设备上。例如，连接到开发者账号，可以允许在发布前让设备安装或测试应用；也可以让开发者获得iOS测试版进行体验。苹果用UDID连接到苹果的ID，这些设备可以自动下载和安装从App Store购买的应用、保存从iTunes购买的音乐、帮助苹果发送推送通知、即时消息。 在iOS 应用早期，UDID被第三方应用开发者和网络广告商用来收集用户数据，可以用来关联地址、记录应用使用习惯……以便推送精准广告。
为什么苹果反对开发人员使用UDID？
iOS 2.0版本以后UIDevice提供一个获取设备唯一标识符的方法uniqueIdentifier，通过该方法我们可以获取设备的序列号，这个也是目前为止唯一可以确认唯一的标示符。 许多开发者把UDID跟用户的真实姓名、密码、住址、其它数据关联起来；网络窥探者会从多个应用收集这些数据，然后顺藤摸瓜得到这个人的许多隐私数据。同时大部分应用确实在频繁传输UDID和私人信息。 为了避免集体诉讼，苹果最终决定在iOS 5 的时候，将这一惯例废除，开发者被引导生成一个唯一的标识符，只能检测应用程序，其他的信息不提供。现在应用试图获取UDID已被禁止且不允许上架。
所以这个方法作废
2、IDFA
-
全名：advertisingIdentifier
-
获取代码：
#import <AdSupport/AdSupport.h>
NSString *adId = [[[ASIdentifierManager sharedManager] advertisingIdentifier] UUIDString];-
来源：iOS6.0及以后
-
说明：直译就是广告id， 在同一个设备上的所有App都会取到相同的值，是苹果专门给各广告提供商用来追踪用户而设的，用户可以在 设置|隐私|广告追踪 里重置此id的值，或限制此id的使用，故此id有可能会取不到值，但好在Apple默认是允许追踪的，而且一般用户都不知道有这么个设置，所以基本上用来监测推广效果，是戳戳有余了。
-
注意：由于idfa会出现取不到的情况，故绝不可以作为业务分析的主id，来识别用户。
3、IDFV
- 全名：identifierForVendor
- 获取代码：
NSString *idfv = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString]; -
来源：iOS6.0及以后
-
说明：顾名思义，是给Vendor标识用户用的，每个设备在所属同一个Vender的应用里，都有相同的值。其中的Vender是指应用提供商，但准确点说，是通过BundleID的反转的前两部分进行匹配，如果相同就是同一个Vender，例如对于com.taobao.app1, com.taobao.app2 这两个BundleID来说，就属于同一个Vender，共享同一个idfv的值。和idfa不同的是，idfv的值是一定能取到的，所以非常适合于作为内部用户行为分析的主id，来标识用户，替代OpenUDID。
-
注意：如果用户将属于此Vender的所有App卸载，则idfv的值会被重置，即再重装此Vender的App，idfv的值和之前不同。
4、MAC地址
使用WiFi的mac地址来取代已经废弃了的uniqueIdentifier方法。具体可见:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/677530/how-can-i-programmatically-get-the-mac-address-of-an-iphone
然而在iOS 7中苹果再一次无情的封杀mac地址，使用之前的方法获取到的mac地址全部都变成了02:00:00:00:00:00。
5、Keychain
Paste_Image.png
我们可以获取到UUID，然后把UUID保存到KeyChain里面。
这样以后即使APP删了再装回来，也可以从KeyChain中读取回来。使用group还可以可以保证同一个开发商的所有程序针对同一台设备能够获取到相同的不变的UDID。
但是刷机或重装系统后uuid还是会改变。
