You can try this link https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/uid

You can try this link https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/uid

The native pluggin of ionic refferes to this same code so...

[Anujmoglix]

[stanstanov]

[greaterking]

Same issue ...will this be updated soon?

[greaterking]

If anyone finds an alternative please post back..thanks.

[Anujmoglix]

I used https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/native/device/. (uuid of it ) . this is only way to work

[greaterking]

Does the uuid persist across multiple installs?

[Anujmoglix]

yes , I tried with multiple device and multiple install & uninstall . It is working fine and I am using in end user app . I didn't get any issue yet . You should try and check .

[greaterking]

@Anujmoglix Will test and report back ...thanks.

I had moved away from that plugin for UUIDs to this one because the UUID didn't persist between installs on iOS, guess i'll have to use both until there is a fix for android on this one.

I managed to solve the issue by updating few lines in UniqueDeviceID.java and things started work as it was before wrt deviceID.

imported android.os.Build to the file.

import android.os.Build;

and updated getDeviceId method as below

protected void getDeviceId(){ > _boolean isAndroid10 = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSIONCODES.Q; try { Context context = cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext(); TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

        String uuid;
        String androidID = Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Secure.ANDROID_ID);
        **_String deviceID;
        String simID;_**

        if ("9774d56d682e549c".equals(androidID) || androidID == null) {
            androidID = "";
        }

        **_uuid = androidID;_**

        **_if ( !isAndroid10 ) {
            deviceID = tm.getDeviceId();
            simID = tm.getSimSerialNumber();
            if (deviceID == null) {
                deviceID = "";
            }
            if (simID == null) {
                simID = "";
            }
            uuid = androidID + deviceID + simID;
        }_**            
        uuid = String.format("%32s", uuid).replace(' ', '0');
        uuid = uuid.substring(0, 32);
        uuid = uuid.replaceAll("(\\w{8})(\\w{4})(\\w{4})(\\w{4})(\\w{12})", "$1-$2-$3-$4-$5");

        this.callbackContext.success(uuid);
    }catch(Exception e ) {
        this.callbackContext.error("Exception occurred: ".concat(e.getMessage()));
    }
}

see if it works for you. (you should remove and add the android platforms again once the plugin is updated with these changes)

@RameshSenagasetti I can confirm this is working. ~However two things to notes~

~1. getDeviceId is deprecated https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager#getDeviceId(int)

2. not sure if the id is persist(is non-resettable) through uninstalls or key signing~

~let me know otherwise.~

UPDATE

Correction @RameshSenagasetti I see you are only using getDeviceId for everything lower than android 10 which is what is was doing before.

I was under the impression though that you need READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE for Android 10 >= ??

[greaterking]

This thread might be useful to the conversation to officially fix this plugin https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4799394/is-secure-android-id-unique-for-each-device

[AmilaJJ]

I am also getting this error. Any updates ?

[Adm94]

Two of three data used to generate the uniqueId are now no more accessible for Android 10. They are :

• TelephonyManager # getDeviceId
• TelephonyManager # getSimSerialNumber

See here

So I think the idea of @RameshSenagasetti to only use Secure.ANDROID_ID when the device version is equal or more than Android 10 is good.

But there will be some problem with devices being updated from Android 9 and less to 10 knowing that the generated ID will no more match
