HI i encountered problem while testing in my physical device with os version android 10

Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: permission is null

I'm asking for permission READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE to get imei of device

This is to be expected; see:

• https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#non-resettable-device-ids
• https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/device-identifiers

Unless your app is a carrier app, you can't get that permission.

How we can setup our app as carrier app?

This means it is signed by the carrier (i.e. like AT&T, Verizon, etc) and the app is sold typically as part of the phone.
