Plan for persisting preferences on iOS applications

We're currently looking at expanding one of our applications from 1 office to up to 40.

It's an app that needs an internal preference to be set and remembered through updates or reinstalls.

Since (thanks to the joys of sandboxing), preferences can't be saved outside the app in the preferences folder, I'm expecting to either get a UUID, or MAC address of the device, registering it and the device's name off in a mySQL database and fetching this information on load every time and saving as a pList if the pList doesn't exist, or if the pList contents are different from what is fetched.

It sure sounds like a valid approach, but is this the best approach?

Since standard policy with many companies is that no corporate data can exist outside the corporate network, using iCloud is out of the question.

Thanks in advance.
