Hey All,

I've been searching on the internet for days and could't find the sollution, so therefore this post.

We need to find a way to recognize an iOS user even after restore / new device.

I've read that up from iOS 5> the UUID has been removed.

How can i still identify a user?

Thanks in advance for your effort in helping me!

Grtz

The UDID was for the device, so you won't be able to tell it's the same user if they have a new device, even if you were allowed to read the UDID.

The Game Center is one way to know that it's the same user. Read this article to see about using Game Center:

If you just want to know that it's the same user on an existing device after doing an update, you could use shared objects. Those will be cleared out if the user deletes the app, but they should survive with a regular app update.
