Just a heads up that iOS 7 seems to have broken a lot of apps that display device UUIDs. I was going bonkers trying to figure out why the new testers I added coudn't install the app. The UUID viewers that haven't updated for iOS 7 seem to be showing incorrect UUIDs that start with a bunch of Fs.

The iTunes method of getting a UUID still works fine. Hope this saves someone a headache.

This is expected, Apple has removed the UUID API function, and even getting the Mac address returns a fake Mac address, which you encountered.

(PhoneGap does NOT use any of these functions)
