You can't get the MAC address for a CBPeripheral but you can get the identifier property, which is a UUID that iOS computes from the MAC amongst other information.

This value can be safely stored and used to identify the same peripheral in the future on this particular iOS device.

It cannot be used on another iOS device to identify the same peripheral.
