What's the difference between UUID, GUID and UDID?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier): A sequence of 128 bits that can guarantee uniqueness across space and time, defined by [RFC 4122][rfc4122].
GUID (Globally Unique Identifier): Microsoft's implementation of the UUID specification; often used interchangeably with UUID.
UDID _(Unique Device Identifier)): A sequence of 40 hexadecimal characters that uniquely identify an iOS device (the device's Social Security Number, if you will). This value can be retrieved through iTunes, or found using UIDevice -uniqueIdentifier. Derived from hardware details like MAC address.

Is UDID deprecated?

`UIStatusBarStyle` in iOS 7

The status bar in iOS 7 is transparent, the view behind it shows through.
The style of the status bar refers to the appearances of its content. In iOS 7, the status bar content is either dark (UIStatusBarStyleDefault) or light (UIStatusBarStyleLightContent). Both UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent and UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque are deprecated in iOS 7.0. Use UIStatusBarStyleLightContent instead.

How to change `UIStatusBarStyle`

If below the status bar is a navigation bar, the status bar style will be adjusted to match the navigation bar style (UINavigationBar.barStyle):
