很多时候我们都需要唯一来确定一台设备,苹果设备本来有个UDID号,可以实现这个目的。在iOS5.0以前,还有一个uniqueIdentifier的API用来获得这个number。不过iOS5之后,这个API废除了。
一条路不通,我们就换一条路走,于是MAC地址就成了一个不错的选择,苹果没有提供获得MAC地址的API,不过使用sysctl还是可以有点办法的,代码如下:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
void GetMACAddress(unsigned char *mac)
{
int mib[6];
size_t len;
char *buf;
unsigned char *ptr;
struct if_msghdr *ifm;
struct sockaddr_dl *sdl;
mib[0] = CTL_NET;
mib[1] = AF_ROUTE;
mib[2] = 0;
mib[3] = AF_LINK;
mib[4] = NET_RT_IFLIST;
if ((mib[5] = if_nametoindex("en0")) == 0) {
printf("Error: if_nametoindex error/n");
return ;
}
if (sysctl(mib, 6, NULL, &len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
printf("Error: sysctl, take 1/n");
return ;
}
if ((buf = malloc(len)) == NULL) {
printf("Could not allocate memory. error!/n");
return ;
}
if (sysctl(mib, 6, buf, &len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
printf("Error: sysctl, take 2");
free(buf);
return ;
}
ifm = (struct if_msghdr *)buf;
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *)(ifm + 1);
ptr = (unsigned char *)LLADDR(sdl);
memcpy(mac,ptr, 6);
free(buf);
}
这段代码可以良好的工作,直到iOS7的出现。不知出于什么原因,苹果对于sysctl和ioctl进行了技术处理,让MAC地址返回02:00:00:00:00:00。官方文档上这样写的“Twolow-level networking APIs that used to return a MAC address now return thefixed value 02:00:00:00:00:00. The APIs in question are sysctl(NET_RT_IFLIST) and ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF). Developers using the value of the MAC address should migrate toidentifiers such as -[UIDevice identifierForVendor].This change affects all apps running on iOS 7”
