iOS - UDID replacement

Apple deprecated accessing the device identifier and hear that they going to reject apps which using the UDID

Our application is using the UDID to uniquely represent a user per application.

And we need to identify the user even if the user removes the application and install it again.

-------------------------------
The following is our replacement of UDID

 - (NSString *)getUUID
{
    KeychainItemWrapper  *wrapper = [[KeychainItemWrapper alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"mydeviceudid" serviceName:@"myservice" accessGroup:nil];
    NSString *newuuid = [wrapper objectForKey:(id)kSecAttrAccount]   
    if(newuuid == nil){
          CFUUIDRef theUUID = CFUUIDCreate(NULL);
         CFStringRef newcfuuid = CFUUIDCreateString(NULL, theUUID);
          CFRelease(theUUID);
         newuuid = [(NSString *)newcfuuid autorelease];
          [wrapper setObject:newuuid forKey:(id)kSecAttrAccount];
     }
    return newuuid;
 }

How to Remove application from iTunes Connect

From apple documentation:

1. Click on the 'Rights and Pricing' button from your App Summary Page.

2. Click on the link to view specific stores.

3. Click on 'DeselectAll'  to uncheck all App Store territories.

4. Click on the Save  button.

After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section,, the status 

changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours.

Understanding and Analyzing iOS Application Crash Reports

Read the App Store Review Guidelines from Apple site.

Read Technical Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing  Crash Logs

How to symbolicate the crash reports to see the lines in our source code ?

got an answer from stackoverflow


1. Our application need to build with Build Settings ->  under Build Options, the value of 'Debug Information Format' key should be "Dwarf with dSYM File"

2. We should keep the source and binary files which we used to submit the application to store

3. Select XCode, window -> organizer. select Archieve. Select the build which we used to submit and 'show in Finder'

4. select the xxx.xarchieve and 'Show contents'. You will get the .dSYM file and the .app file from the contents.

5. put the .app, .dSYM and crash logs files in a folder

6. open Terminal appplication and go to this folder // using  cd command

7. execute the command
atos -arch armv7 -o appname.app/appname memory_location_in_the_crashlogs
