Using the MAC address as a unique identifier alone seems like a terrible idea(that is, without other secret, constant data included in the hash, similar to how UDIDs are generated.)<p>Your device is literally broadcasting your unique identifier to everyone in a several hundred foot radius.

It's also quite easy to just grab the MAC address manually: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/677530/how-can-i-programmatically-get-the-mac-address-of-an-iphone" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/677530/how-can-i-programm...</a>

The point of the UDID was for a unique identifier representing a device, not an application on a device. This project is a bit misleading indeed.

Title and project name are misleading. This identifier is not unique per device, but unique per device+bundle identifier. This means different applications on the same device will generate different identifiers. Please, stop upvoting without reading (it's mentioned in the project README).

But how do you know generated UDID won't collide with other phone manufacturer companies?
