Has anyone ever experienced a UUID collision in the wild? Anyone heard or read of one happening? Can you provide any details?

  • UUID in iOS ? or in other platform? As a reminder, use of UUID is deprecated in programming starting from iOS 5. – Raptor Jan 18 '12 at 08:13

    One thing that may not be related but interesting: Two Windows Phone 7 Apps from two companies will uninstall each other -- if you install one, the other will be uninstalled. The reason is that the developers copied the code about installing and registering the app in the phone from sample code on a book, along with the UUID in the sample. – Dante WWWW Jan 18 '12 at 08:17
