Is there a way since (iOS 7's release) to get the UDID without using iTunes on a PC/Mac?

Question

I\'m developing an app for my company and we\'re going through the process of slowly letting people into the \"beta\" by adding their iPads to the company\'s iOS Dev Center

Answer 1

We can use identifierForVendor for ios7,

-(NSString*)uniqueIDForDevice
{
    NSString* uniqueIdentifier = nil;
    if( [UIDevice instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(identifierForVendor)] ) { // >=iOS 7
        uniqueIdentifier = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString];
    } else { //<=iOS6, Use UDID of Device       
            CFUUIDRef uuid = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
            //uniqueIdentifier = ( NSString*)CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid);- for non- ARC
            uniqueIdentifier = ( NSString*)CFBridgingRelease(CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, uuid));// for ARC
            CFRelease(uuid);
         }
    }
return uniqueIdentifier;
}

--Important Note ---

UDID and identifierForVendor are different:---

1.) On uninstalling  and reinstalling the app identifierForVendor will change.

2.) The value of identifierForVendor remains the same for all the apps installed from the same vendor on the device.

3.) The value of identifierForVendor also changes for all the apps if any of the app (from same vendor) is reinstalled.

Have them create a testflightapp.com account.

This is very useful for beta testing - which I'm guessing is what you need the udids for.

You can send them a download link to your app (found in the permissions tap at the bottom of the page) and it will tell them their udid hasn't been validated yet. It will then tell them their udid! They can copy and paste this and text it to you.

Or use my solution here www.my-mo.co.uk/device/deviceinfo.php will let you access UDID and email it to whoever you choose too.

Answer 4

If you are using a mac, you can get the UUID out of the "System Report" available from "About this Mac." With the device attached, open the USB section and click on iPhone. The UUID appears under "Serial Number"
