I have the same issue too. Any one have a solution ?

harguus commented 2 years ago

According to the Changelog, the AndroidId method has been removed... https://pub.dev/packages/device_info_plus/changelog

=> Breaking change Remove AndroidId getter to avoid Google Play policies violations <=
Update flutter_lints to 2.0.1
Remove explicit test dependency to use flutter_test from Flutter SDK

I started to generate a unique identification (Uuid) and save it in the device's SharedPreferences and use this Uuid to identify it.

Somtobro commented 2 years ago

I can't believe this!

frank2359 commented 2 years ago

According this document: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uidevice/1620059-identifierforvendor#1965828 I think It is not a bug.

Somtobro commented 2 years ago

I know it's not a bug I was suggesting device info plus return the unique id code

Most apps depend on this already I have 2 published apps and my means of identification is the unique id

Besides, playstore recognizes unique id last I checked You just need to state in the privacy policy And they are other ways to make users safer eg encrypting the id before display that way we get a fake....as long as it's unique

Removing it is not smart....my opinion Nice package tho

I agree

FYI there is a new plugin for getting the Android ID 🙂 https://pub.dev/packages/android_id

brunobmorais commented 2 years ago

From Android 10 onwards it is restrict to collect unique identifiers. This was achieved only in DeviceOwner privileged apps and system apps. From android developer documentation Best practices for unique identifiers explained how to identify uniqueness based on different scenerios. Link
