It's not possible to get a unique device ID.
You can generate it yourself then store it in the device.
Or you can use UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor!.UUIDString, which is:
An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to the app’s vendor.
It may be possible to persist this ID across reinstallations using KeyChain. See this topic.

1what if we store it in keychain ? I think keychains data does not wipe out in case of uninstallation – Umair Afzal Jun 22 '16 at 12:24

@yogi I am afraid then there is no method for keeping the data even after formating the device. – Umair Afzal Jun 22 '16 at 12:33

The best you can now do for identification purposes is to use a UUID (universally unique identifier) using $cordovaDevice.
Furthermore, there are few methods to fetch unique identifiers.
