How to Get the Realy Fixed Device-Id in Swift

How to get a unique device ID in Swift?

You can use this (Swift 3):

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString

For older versions:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor

or if you want a string:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor!.UUIDString

There is no longer a way to uniquely identify a device after the user uninstalled the app(s). The documentation says:

The value in this property remains the same while the app (or another app from the same vendor) is installed on the iOS device. The value changes when the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and subsequently reinstalls one or more of them.

Update for Swift 4.1, you will need to use:

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

How to get unique id in iOS device?

You can no longer get a unique ID per device. identifierForVendor is the best you're going to get. Apple has systematically disabled identifying a specific device so that users' IDs can't be passed around by marketers.

To get the identifier ID as a string, you can use

let deviceId = UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

UPDATE

If you want a universal ID then you have the option to use advertisingIdentifier. However, if the user has limited ad tracking in their device settings then this value will simply return all zeroes.

import AdSupport

let identifierManager = ASIdentifierManager.shared()
if identifierManager.isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled {
    let deviceId = identifierManager.advertisingIdentifier.uuidString
}

N.B. Apple recommends that this code only be used by companies building advertisement frameworks, rather than the app developers themselves. If you use this within your code for non-ad-related purposes then prepare to have your app rejected.

How to generate Unique ID of device for iPhone/iPad using Objective-c

Yes, UDID is deprecated; we are not allowed to get UDID due to user privacy purposes. Apple does not allow to get any identifiers that uniquely identifies a device, such as IMEI, MAC address, UDID etc.

UUID is the best way to go as of now. But that would be unique for each vendor. You are not assured that it will be unique each time you get the UUID string. Best bet is to store the UUID string to phone's Keychain and retrieve it when needed, with a catch. When you factory-reset your phone, the keychain items would be erased. This limitation should be kept in mind.

UPDATE - IN IOS 10.3 BETA'S:

It seems that Apple has made some changes to how Keychain works in iOS 10.3+. Keychain items stored in the Keychain will be deleted when the all the apps from the specific vendor are uninstalled. According to Apple, the residence of sensitive information of an app even after the app is gone from the device may lead to security risks, so they decided to forbid this kind of behavior.

Developers relying on Keychain storage even after an uninstall for their apps can make use of this WORKAROUND to continue with the intended functionality. According to this workaround, any app can access the information stored in that specific Keychain Access Group, so it is recommended that adding an extra layer of encryption to your data will protect it with even more security, although keychain encrypts items by default.

UPDATE - IOS 10.3.3 (STABLE):
It seems that the keychain items deletion was a BUG in early betas of iOS 10.3.3 and was fixed later in the stable release. This might have been caused during betas since strange things can happen during that phase. It should be no problem to use Keychain hereafter.

UIDevice uniqueIdentifier deprecated - What to do now?

A UUID created by CFUUIDCreate is unique if a user uninstalls and re-installs the app: you will get a new one each time.

But you might want it to be not unique, i. e. it should stay the same when the user uninstalls and re-installs the app. This requires a bit of effort, since the most reliable per-device-identifier seems to be the MAC address. You could query the MAC and use that as UUID.

Edit: One needs to always query the MAC of the same interface, of course. I guess the best bet is with en0. The MAC is always present, even if the interface has no IP/is down.

Edit 2: As was pointed out by others, the preferred solution since iOS 6 is -[UIDevice identifierForVendor]. In most cases, you should be able use it as a drop-in replacement to the old -[UIDevice uniqueIdentifier] (but a UUID that is created when the app starts for the first time is what Apple seems to want you to use).

Edit 3: So this major point doesn't get lost in the comment noise: do not use the MAC as UUID, create a hash using the MAC. That hash will always create the same result every time, even across reinstalls and apps (if the hashing is done in the same way). Anyways, nowadays (2013) this isn't necessary any more except if you need a "stable" device identifier on iOS < 6.0.

Edit 4: In iOS 7, Apple now always returns a fixed value when querying the MAC to specifically thwart the MAC as base for an ID scheme. So you now really should use -[UIDevice identifierForVendor] or create a per-install UUID.

How to get Device UDID in programmatically in iOS7?

It's work 100% to all the version

other best option recommend by apple use ASIdentifierManager Class Reference

ios7-app-backward-compatible-with-ios5-regarding-unique-identifier

this link tell you how to handle and use custom framework

uidevice-uniqueidentifier-property-is-deprecated-what-now

iOS 9

NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc]initWithUUIDString:@"20B0DDE7-6087-4607-842A-E97C72E4D522"];
NSLog(@"%@",uuid);
NSLog(@"%@",[uuid UUIDString]);

or

it support only ios 6.0 and above

code to use [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString];

NSUUID *deviceId;
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
deviceId = [NSUUID initWithUUIDString:@"UUID-STRING-VALUE"];
#else
deviceId = [UIDevice currentDevice].identifierForVendor;
#endif

ios 5 to use like

 if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:@selector(identifierForVendor)]) {
    // This is will run if it is iOS6
    return [[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor] UUIDString];
} else {
   // This is will run before iOS6 and you can use openUDID or other 
   // method to generate an identifier
}

How to get system device language, swift iOS

Try this

UserDefaults.standard.stringArray(forKey: "AppleLanguages")

The output will be like - ["en-US"].

It'll return an array with language codes, first index is the current language set in iPhone's setting (it'll be a single item array if the preferred language order in settings is empty.)
