Advertising Identifier for devices lower than iOS 6.0

It seems that we cannot use [UIDevice currentDevice].uniqueIdentifier anymore. The Advertising Identifier is supposed to be used. But the Advertising Identifier is available only since iOS 6.0.

How can I uniquely identify a device lower than iOS 6.0?

Yes, the unique identifier is deprecated. For this i have a solution.Please go through the below link and i believe this is the replacement of apple UDID.

On the first time the app is launched, create a UUID with CFUUIDCreate, convert it to a string with CFUUIDCreateString, and then save it to a file in the app's cache directory. On subsequent launches of the app, use the UUID saved to the file rather than creating a new on.
