I have posted a Cocoa framework, together with a sample application using it
and source code, for your use and enjoyment. One of the useful items in this
package is complete set of instructions for embedding a framework in a Cocoa
application.

The QSW_UUID Framework is an Objective-C wrapper for the Core Foundation
CFUUID.h header at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework, with
additional features.
The framework provides methods that call CFUUID functions to generate
universally unique identifiers, both as raw binary and string objects, and
to convert any UUID between its binary and string representations. In
addition, it provides methods to test individual UUIDs for valid
representation formats, and to test pairs of UUIDs for equality and
ordering, all in accordance with the UUID specification. Nil UUIDs are
supported. Finally, it provides methods to obtain the version and variant of
the specification under which a UUID was created.
A universally unique identifier (UUID) is an identifier that is unique
across the space of all UUIDs and unique across time until approximately
3400 A.D. It can be used to reliably identify and distinguish persistent
objects in many contexts, such as identifying remote procedure calls on the
internet, identifying header files in software, and identifying individual
records in multiple databases. A UUID generator will generate unique UUIDs
until approximately 3400 A.D.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
