No, it's not possible.
Instead of AppleId, you can use [[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor].

No, you can't. It's a privacy element like the UDID.

You can read more about this here : Privacy issue

But, if you want, you can use the identifierForVendor provided by Apple using this method :

[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor]

It's not possible. You can only retrieve the device's UDID. it's a privacy issue, just like their phone number. But you can get the certificate (Acknowledgement) for every purchase from apple server for a particular user.

No you can't get Apple Id. Instead of that you could use identifierForVendor.

Objective-c:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor]

Swift 3+:

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString

If you want to read more about collecting user data check this out Apple Policy!

or you can use this (Swift 3):

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString

For older versions:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor

or if you want a string:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor!.UUIDString

I'm not sure about apple id but you can grab device id programmatically. If you using hybrid app, you can using push phonegap plugin.

https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin

For native

BTW, device id and UDID is a different thing.

Nope, you can't get that information. The only thing you can get are information from UIDevice (look it up on the apple doc) or a "fake UDID" (unique key that isn't the UDID) using [[UIDevice currentDevice] identifierForVendor], and the IP.

So you can identify your users in a unique way, but not get their information.

I really suggest you go browse the doc about the UIDevice, maybe you'll find something that you need there too

ou can use this (Swift 3):

UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString For older versions:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor or if you want a string:

UIDevice.currentDevice().identifierForVendor!.UUIDString
