The advertisingIdentifier and identifierForVendor return “00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000”

by

It appears to be a bug in iOS. Seeing the same issue on devices that have been upgraded over-the-air, but devices upgraded with Xcode or iTunes work as expected without zeros.

Tried similar steps as you, and the only common theme was over-the-air (bad) versus tethered upgrade (good).

Update: Users that move directly from iOS 5.1 to 6.1 over-the-air experience a different behavior. Every time the app is closed completely and restarted, a new value is being returned by identifierForVendor. This would be expected if the app was being uninstalled and reinstalled, but that’s not the case.
