My question is how can we detect our own device's unique bluetooth ID (must be available from other device when we scan for nearby available bluetooth)

I tried this

CBUUID *myService = [CBUUID UUIDWithString: @"MyServiceID"];

but in my case this is same as device UUDI.

You can’t. Apple works hard to ensure that apps can not access any identifiers that uniquely identify a device; the Bluetooth MAC address would be such an identifier.

The Bluetooth identifiers that are reported by Core Bluetooth on another iOS device are local to that device.

You could allocate your own UUID and make that available via a characteristic. That way you would know what value the remote device would see, but it would need to connect to retrieve the value. You could also put a specific name in the advertising data.
