marcick Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 4, 2016 #1 I need a unique device identifier. Can I continue to safely read the IMEI with this code ? Code: Copy Dim pid As PhoneId Log(pid.GetDeviceId) Or do I have to expect that sooner or later it will no longer be readable as the wi-fi address ? https://developer.android.com/about...android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id

marcick Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 4, 2016 #3 Yes. But I was wondering if an IMEI has really to be considered a sensitive data or not. A Wi-Fi address, a Mac-Address could perhaps be used for some dangerous pourpouses, so I can more or less agree with this https://developer.android.com/about...android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id But what can we do with an IMEI if not just to unique identify a device ? Will ever Google have some reasons to block access to IMEI number ? Just to share opinions .... Upvote 0
