Google Removes Support For UDID Access In Latest AdMob SDK For iOS
April 9, 2013
Google has just issued an update to its AdMob SDK for iOS in order to, most notably, comply with an Apple policy that is set to take effect in just over three weeks.
Last month, we reported that starting May 1, Apple will no longer accept new or updated apps that access Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs), along with those that are not optimized for Retina display.
Now, ahead of Apple's May 1 deadline, Google has completely done away with UDID access in the new 6.4 version of AdMob SDK for iOS. "This version of the SDK completes the transition away from UDID, which began with version 6.2," says Google's AdMob Team.
Once the de facto tool used by developers to learn customer patterns, UDID was eventually replaced with the more secure Advertising Identifier following UDID leaks and privacy issues.
Aside from the removal of UDID support, the following improvements are included in AdMob SDK for iOS 6.4:
