As rckoenes mentioned, you cannot get the IMEI. Also you cannot get any ID that can link to the physical device (UDID, MAC address). However, if you need to get a unique identifier that will remain constant whenever the user uses your app, you can use the [UIDevice identifierForVendor] property.

Note you cannot use this identifier for advertising purposes, use the [ASIdentifierManager advertisingIdentifier] property instead (following the guidelines for AdSupport).
