Are you linking the IOKit framework?

Try the

id getValue(NSString *iosearch);

function, available at

You can also use the UIDevice class to retrieve other useful information For instance, you can do:

NSString *id = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier];

Other useful properties are the following ones:

  name  
  systemName    
  systemVersion  
  model  
  localizedModel
