MAC Address based solutions are still okay right?

Access to MAC addresses will likely never go away.

Also, if you don't need to identify devices per se, you can fallback on a generated GUID which you persist via NSUserDefaults.

It'll identify the user for the lifespan of that app install on the device.

I suspect access to MAC addresses will go away at some point—it has the same privacy concerns as UDID.
