In the MACH Registrations API, I am required to submit a parameter value called **DeviceUID **which is supposed to be unique for each user of my iOS app. What is an easy way to do that since Apple had stopped supporting a unique identifier for iOS?

There is a fantastic and free library already available to solve this (released under an MIT license)

Check it out here:

For iOS7, please use the identifierForVendor method
