W3i Suggests iOS Developers Use MAC Address As UDID Replacement
Mobile app monetization and distribution networkW3iis announcing the results of its tests to determine whether or not an iPhone's MAC address can serve as a replacement to the UDID (the unique device identifier), which Apple is phasing out as a way for developers to track an app's users.According to W3i, developers can and should begin tracking the iPhone's MAC address as a UDID alternative, as it has successfully seen Apple approve its own application where this is the case. Unfortunately, this advice is arguably premature. Apple may let slip a single app, but if a large number of iOS developers began doing the same (tracking the MAC addresses, that is), Apple may certainly change its position on the matter.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/9cFhphEbjNo/
