Mike from PayPal here. We're in the process of deprecating the old MPL library. As you point out, it does call [UIDevice uniqueIdentifier].

The PayPal iOS SDK should be safe - other apps are using it, and it does not call [UIDevice uniqueIdentifier]. We'll be maintaining this version going forward and adding new features, so it should be a much nicer experience for your customers.

As you correctly point out, the PayPal iOS SDK is only available to US businesses. We're working on expanding support to non-US countries, and should hopefully have an update soon!

Update: the new iOS SDK (version 2.0.0) without references to uniqueIdentifier is here: https://github.com/paypal/sdk-packages/blob/gh-pages/MPL/PayPalMPL_2-0-0-iPhone_DevelopersPackage.zip
