>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Plugin Device
>         Environment: iOS
>            Reporter: Jordan Clist
>            Priority: Minor
>   Original Estimate: 0h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The UUID used in Cordova device plugin is currently just generating a new UUID and saving to preferences. This can be improved by using iOS identifierForVendor which has been in use since at least iOS 6 (maybe earlier).
> This means the UUID will be the same across multiple apps from the same vendor. 
> I have made the adjustments in this pull request:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device/pull/36
> This should be backwards compatible as we still check the NSUserDefaults before using identifierForVendor so previous installs will not be affected.
