iOS5中的UUID
在ios5中,UDID已不再被推荐使用,在将来的版本中,这个功能可能会消失。所以我们得探寻它的取代方法,能唯一标识设备的东西。往往硬件上有唯一标识,所以我们可以用硬件上的信息来取代UDID, 硬件上的MAC地址就能达到这样的目的。
下面的函数就可以返回XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX类型的字符串(12个16进制数)
- #include <sys/socket.h>
- #include <sys/sysctl.h>
- #include <net/if.h>
- #include <net/if_dl.h>
- ...
- - (NSString *)getMacAddress
- {
- int mgmtInfoBase[6];
- char *msgBuffer = NULL;
- size_t length;
- unsigned char macAddress[6];
- struct if_msghdr *interfaceMsgStruct;
- struct sockaddr_dl *socketStruct;
- NSString *errorFlag = NULL;
- // Setup the management Information Base (mib)
- mgmtInfoBase[0] = CTL_NET; // Request network subsystem
- mgmtInfoBase[1] = AF_ROUTE; // Routing table info
- mgmtInfoBase[2] = 0;
- mgmtInfoBase[3] = AF_LINK; // Request link layer information
- mgmtInfoBase[4] = NET_RT_IFLIST; // Request all configured interfaces
- // With all configured interfaces requested, get handle index
- if ((mgmtInfoBase[5] = if_nametoindex("en0")) == 0)
- errorFlag = @"if_nametoindex failure";
- else
- {
- // Get the size of the data available (store in len)
- if (sysctl(mgmtInfoBase, 6, NULL, &length, NULL, 0) < 0)
- errorFlag = @"sysctl mgmtInfoBase failure";
- else
- {
- // Alloc memory based on above call
- if ((msgBuffer = malloc(length)) == NULL)
- errorFlag = @"buffer allocation failure";
- else
- {
- // Get system information, store in buffer
- if (sysctl(mgmtInfoBase, 6, msgBuffer, &length, NULL, 0) < 0)
- errorFlag = @"sysctl msgBuffer failure";
- }
- }
- }
- // Befor going any further...
- if (errorFlag != NULL)
- {
- NSLog(@"Error: %@", errorFlag);
- return errorFlag;
- }
- // Map msgbuffer to interface message structure
- interfaceMsgStruct = (struct if_msghdr *) msgBuffer;
- // Map to link-level socket structure
- socketStruct = (struct sockaddr_dl *) (interfaceMsgStruct + 1);
- // Copy link layer address data in socket structure to an array
- memcpy(&macAddress, socketStruct->sdl_data + socketStruct->sdl_nlen, 6);
- // Read from char array into a string object, into traditional Mac address format
- NSString *macAddressString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
- macAddress[0], macAddress[1], macAddress[2],
- macAddress[3], macAddress[4], macAddress[5]];
- NSLog(@"Mac Address: %@", macAddressString);
- // Release the buffer memory
- free(msgBuffer);
- return macAddressString;
- }

系统SKD也提供了一种方法得到标识字符串即UDID,如下:
- [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]
但打开UIDevice.h中你会发现这样的定义与注释
- @property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString *uniqueIdentifier __OSX_AVAILABLE_BUT_DEPRECATED(__MAC_NA,__MAC_NA,__IPHONE_2_0,__IPHONE_5_0); // a string unique to each device based on various hardware info.
说明苹果将逐渐淘汰这个属性。
UUID在iOS4中也可以用,但不能保证在以后的系统升级后(iOS6 , 7)还能用。ios5中我还没有测试过,因为现在手里没设备了(测了的朋友给我说说结果)。
在此也随便把得到UUID的方法以写出来:
- -(NSString*) uuid
- {
- CFUUIDRef puuid = CFUUIDCreate( nil );
- CFStringRef uuidString = CFUUIDCreateString( nil, puuid );
- NSString * result = (NSString *)CFStringCreateCopy( NULL, uuidString);
- CFRelease(puuid);
- CFRelease(uuidString);
- return [result autorelease];
- }
在这儿有两个概念UUID与UDID.
UUID是Universally Unique Identifier 通用唯一标识码
UDID是Unique Device Identifier 设备唯一标识码
UDID只是UUID的一个了集而已。
目前我知道的就是用这些方法来唯一标识设备,如果你有更好的方法,也希望你能与大家分享。
