Apple is now rejecting apps that collect UDID without permission

Friday, March 30th, 2012

Apple let it be known back in August of 2011 that they’d be deprecating developer access to UDID ( Universal Device Identifier) , they’ve now taken the next step and begun actively rejecting App Store apps that use it. The fine developers of Tweetbot  have reported that one of their latest updates was rejected from Apple for collecting UDID information without getting user consent first. All this means for Tweetbot is that you lose push notification settings after deleting and re-installing, but for other apps that rely on UDID access, this could be a problem.
