iOS-使用Objective-C建立UUID

UUID是128位的值，它可以保证唯一性。通常，它是由机器本身网卡的MAC地址和当前系统时间来生成的。
UUID是由中划线连接而成的字符串。例如：13222F23-C76A-7781-0C12-0293E3B34398.
下面这个方法可以生成UUID并以字符串的方式进行返回。

- (NSString *)createUUID

{

          // Create universally unique identifier (object)

          CFUUIDRef uuidObject = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);

 

          // Get the string representation of CFUUID object.

          NSString *uuidStr = (NSString *)CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, uuidObject);

 

          // If needed, here is how to get a representation in bytes, returned as a structure

          // typedef struct {

          //   UInt8 byte0;

          //   UInt8 byte1;

          //   …

          //   UInt8 byte15;

          // } CFUUIDBytes;

          CFUUIDBytes bytes = CFUUIDGetUUIDBytes(uuidObject);

 

          CFRelease(uuidObject);

 

          return uuidStr;

}
