  Generated UUID stored into keychain. Keychain data gets
  transferred when data transferred from one iPhone to another.
  Hence same UUID returned on the other device aswell. Keychain
  storing implementation fixed to prevent transferring of UUID
  when data being transferred to another device. So the UUID
  available only to the device where the keychain is created.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed to prevent transferring UUID as part of data transfer from
  one device to another hence UUID will be unique to the device.
  

Temporary fix
