I have the need to check when an iPhone has been factory reset. There aren’t any (that I’ve seen) Api calls to check when the iPhone got reset. So is there any file or something on the iPhone that gets deleted or modified when reseting an iPhone?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    No, there is no way to get notified or find out about an eventual factory reset. There are two main reasons for this:

    • Apple doesn’t want you to know. Apps have very strict rules, they are separate apps and are not to interfere with the internal affairs of the phone itself.
    • If an eventual factory reset has occured, the app, along with any other data, will be deleted. That means you can only figure out if the app has been deleted and reinstalled by comparing UDID’s, which you are not allowed to by Apple.
