Is the only thing I have to do, to request the .Value from the class ?

No configuration per app ?

Thanks,
Tony

Correct. The reason for no configuration per app is that it is meant to
replace UDID in that it works across apps. I believe it is no longer
necessary if you are targeting iOS 6, as there is a new mechanism that
replaces UDID.

Hov safe is it against app removal / reinstallation, and iOS upgrades ?

My experience has been that it is pretty good, but not 100% perfect. What
I've done is that once I get the ID from OpenUDID, I then persist that to
iCloud. Then in my app, first look for the ID on iCloud and if not found,
then get one for OpenUDID.

But if you persist to iCloud, wont all your devices (on the same account) get the same UDID?

Yes that is correct, in my case, I wanted a single user to have a single ID,
which obviously is not quite the same as UDID being unique.

The reason that OpenUDID is not perfect is that it stores the generated user
ID in a number of pasteboards that are registered under a common naming
scheme. The more apps that use the OpenUDID protocol, the more likely that
the pasteboard s don't get deleted if the app is deleted. But if the there
is only one app on the device that is using OpenUDID, and it is deleted,
then it is likely that the pasteboard(s) are deleted, and thus the ID is
lost.
