If you build websites, you inevitably run into problems. Maybe there’s no way to achieve an aspect of your design using CSS. Or maybe there’s a device feature you really wish you could tap into using JavaScript. Or perhaps the in-browser DevTools don’t give you a key insight you need to do your job.

I'm building a PWA that can be used only in companie's smartphones.
The simpliest way of beeing sure that the phone belongs to the company and is not a personal one, would be checking the phone's IMEI or serial number in the companie's list.
Nowadays, we create a contact in all companie's phones and check if this contact exists when some device tries to run the PWA. Furthermore, login and password are used for validation and geolocation is checked.
If we could access the phones IMEI, we would change all of this for only one way of checking.
