have a look at the cf uuid functions
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/
CFUUIDRef/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001207
CFUUIDRef myUUID;
CFStringRef myUUIDString;
char strBuffer[100];
myUUID = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
myUUIDString = CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, myUUID);
myUUIDString is castable to an NSString
also, bill cheeseman has a framework for this (which may also be
overkill for your needs)...

I am wondering what the best way is to generate globally unique ids in
cocoa. I have seen oid in the omni frameworks, but don't really want
to bring in the entire framework just for that. Is there anything
simpler that will provide globally unique ids?
