OpenUDID is an open-source Objective-C library that provides a persistent, privacy-friendly replacement for Apple's deprecated UDID (uniqueIdentifier) on iOS, with ports to Android and Windows. It generates and shares a device-level identifier across apps via a pasteboard mechanism. The project is officially deprecated in favor of Apple's advertisingIdentifier.
Use cases
- get a persistent device identifier on ios
- replace deprecated udid uniqueidentifier
- track installs across apps for analytics
- attribute ad clicks to downloads without using mac address
- respect user opt-out for device tracking
When to avoid
- starting a new ios project — use ASIdentifierManager advertisingIdentifier instead
- need a supported, maintained identifier solution
- app store submission where deprecated tracking methods may be rejected
