Description

Apple stopped supporting a unique identifier for iOS. This source code solves the problem. It generates a unique identifier based on the mac address of the device in combination with the bundle identifier.

What you need to do:

copy NSString+MD5Addition and UIDevice+IdentifierAddition to your project.
if your are using ARC in your project, you have to add the -fno-objc-arc flag to both files. Apple ARC Guidelines
use [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueDeviceIdentifier] to retrieve the unique identifier (it's a hash of your Bundle ID + MAC address)
use [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueGlobalDeviceIdentifier] to retrieve a global unique identifier (it's a hash of the MAC address, used for tracking between different apps).
have fun and follow gekitz ;)

//Thanks to Erica Sadun for her UIDevice+Hardware Addition (used for the mac address retrieval).
