Subject: Important Note : UDID changes to new Apple Hardware
Over the last 48 hours, we’ve received notification and details from Apple around potential changes to UDID of new Apple hardware going forward.
Our teams have been working round the clock to evaluate the impact of these changes and explore necessary remediation paths to be compatible with this new hardware.
Background of UDID :
UDID is an acronym for Unique Device ID that uniquely identifies Apple devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
This unique ID cannot be changed by the user nor by Apple as it is assigned to the motherboard of the device. So an operating system update will not change the UDID.
Historically iOS devices have had UDID of 40 characters in length. We’ve received notification that this length could change in the future to be lesser, greater or equal to 40 and not strictly adhere to the 40 character length.
There will be a customer facing public message with appropriate content that we’re allowed to share shortly.
