Does JIRA Mobile Connect access iOS device UDID?

Hi,

I just came across this article saying that Apple is starting to reject apps that access the iOS device UDIDs.

Does JIRA Mobile Connect access the UDID? Is it still safe to include this for release versions of iOS apps? Thanks.

Hi Steve,

To the best of my knowledge, the JMC library will generate it's own UUID (not access the UDID) and then save this to NSUserDefaults.

This has the advantage of being transferred across when a user moves to a new device either through service replacement or through upgrades (or just buying new shiny things and restoring old data to it :D ) and avoiding the App Store regulations of UDID's as these have been on the "not recommended list" for several months now.

In essence, you'll be perfectly safe to use it on the App Store and make it through the review process (from JMC's side). I've got an app there right now that uses it too, as reference.

That's great! Thanks for the very fast response!
