For example, the Nexus One returns `Passion`, and Motorola Droid returns `voles`.

 ### iOS Quirk
 
 The `uuid` on iOS uses the identifierForVendor property. It is unique to the device across the same vendor, but will be different for different vendors and will change if all apps from the vendor are deleted and then reinstalled.
-Refer [here](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIDevice_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIDevice/identifierForVendor) for details.
+Refer [here](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uidevice/1620059-identifierforvendor) for details.
 The UUID will be the same if app is restored from a backup or iCloud as it is saved in preferences. Users using older versions of this plugin will still receive the same previous UUID generated by another means as it will be retrieved from preferences.
