ACR Device Information for Xamarin & Windows

A cross platform plugin to get device specific information for Android, iOS, UWP 10, and WP81 Silverlight

  • Unique DeviceID
    • IMEI on android
    • Vendor ID on iOS (this is unique to your applications on a device)
    • Windows (Phone) Device ID
  • Camera Availability
  • Screen Dimensions
  • Manufacturer and Model
  • Operating System
  • Application Version Information
  • Current Culture
  • Battery Monitoring
  • Network Monitoring

Android Specifics

  • Device ID- IMEI (DeviceInfo.Hardware.DeviceId), set permission READ_PHONE_STATE
  • Battery status - set permissions BATTERY_STATE and DEVICE_POWER
  • Network Monitoring - set permission ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

Windows Phone Specifics

If you want to request the Device ID (DeviceInfo.Hardware.DeviceId), you must include the capability 'ID_CAP_IDENTITY_DEVICE' in your WP manifest.

To Use

Make sure to install the nuget package in your platform and PCL projects. To use, simply start calling

Acr.DeviceInfo.DeviceInfo.Hardware.<property>
Acr.DeviceInfo.DeviceInfo.App.<property>
Acr.DeviceInfo.DeviceInfo.Battery.<property>
Acr.DeviceInfo.DeviceInfo.Connectivity.<property>

FAQ

  1. DeviceId is coming back null
  • Follow permission setting as listed above
  1. I'm getting "Platform implementation not supported"
  • Ensure you have installed the nuget package on your actual application project
  1. UWP battery implementation doesn't do anything
  • I haven't been able to find a way to support this yet
  1. The DeviceId changes if I uninstall my app from the phone
  • There isn't a "static" ID on an iphone that really works. I use IdentifierForVendor()
