Device Information Plugin for Xamarin and Windows

deviceinfoplugin's Issues

DeviceName returns an error

Bug Information:

Version of Plugin: 3.1.0.57-beta
Tested on: Android 6 API 23 - Samsung Galaxy 5
VS: 2017 15.5.4
Xamarin: 4.8.0.757
Xamarin Forms: 2.5.0.122203

Running CrossDeviceInfo.Current.DeviceName causes an Exception Error:

01-24 09:16:15.077 I/MonoDroid( 9139): UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:
01-24 09:16:15.137 I/MonoDroid( 9139): System.MissingMethodException: Method 'Plugin.DeviceInfo.Abstractions.IDeviceInfo.get_DeviceName' not found.

CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Version and Platform and Model work fine.

Android Device ID=0 because Serial Number is 0

Bug Information

Version Number of Plugin: 3.0.1
Device Tested On: Android 5.1 Model N501
Version of VS: 2015 Update 3
Version of Xamarin: 4.7.9.45
Versions of other things you are using: Xamarin.Adroid 7.4.5.1

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

When the Serial Number of the Android phone is zero CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Id returns 0

Expected Behavior

Checking the code I see that if the Serial Number is Unknown then try to get the android id. I think the best behaviour would be that in case of Serial Number 0 try to get the android id too.

Screenshotst

Case with Serial Number cero.

Id is not working stable

I used this lib for Production. And after few days running, I found out that Id is not working properly.
A lot of devices return Id as "0123456789ABCDEF", or "0123456789012345678901234567890" or empty, sure, that's not correct. Please check attached file for details.
Appreciate to hear any update from you :)

'CrossDeviceInfo' does not exist in the current context

I have installed the plugin through NuGet (version 2.0.2) into the Core and clients projects, but I cannot use it...it says that the class 'CrossDeviceInfo' does not exist in the current context.

What can be happening?

EDITED: just resolved uninstalling - installing again

Using with portable library throws exception - expected?

Hi there @jamesmontemagno, appreciate your work with this library, the API is very simple. :)

I am working on trying to implement this in Stripe.net. I noticed this code block:

#if PORTABLE
        return null;
#else
        return new DeviceInfoImplementation();
#endif

Seeing as my project has a .NET 4.5 version and a portable version that works for Xamarin, this will always return null on the portable version of the assembly. Is this expected, or am I doing something wrong? Also, is this intended to work for a regular .NET assembly as well?

Thanks much!

How to use with net standard unit tests?

Got version 3.1.0 of the NuGet package and tried to use it with my net standard unit tests that are running on my MacBook. Whatever you call, you will get the following Exception:

NotImplementedException: This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly. You should reference the NuGet package from your main application project in order to reference the platform-specific implementation.

Is there a way to use this package with my net standard unit tests?

Mac OS retrieve different IDs for the same device

I have a Macbook Pro in which I tried to create a MacOS version of my app
Every devices used are indexed by their Id which is supposed to be unique. For my Mac I got many different IDs

Ex.

Unit Test for Shared Project

I am want to Unit Test some of my code that consumes DeviceInfo.

I found that if I use a Shared Project Unit Test on some methods that call into Device Info, that it throws an exeption of not having the Mono.Android runtime for some of the items, but not all of them. This is because it is being called from Unit Test Project, via the Android Project

Version 2.1.2

Returns values
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Platform.ToString();
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.GenerateAppId().ToString();
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.VersionNumber.ToString();

Exception (Mono.Android runtime missing)
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Model.ToString();
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Idiom.ToString();
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Version.ToString();

How are you able to Unit Test in a Shared Project using VS Unit Test Projects?

System.NotImplementedException -This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly

Hi James

A strange problem..

A have 2 almost identical apps, where i use the plugin.

Suddenly only the one APP, throws an exception in Android (device and simulator)

System.NotImplementedException
This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly. You should reference the NuGet package from your main application project in order to reference the platform-specific implementation.

I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the plugin, ad also tried re-install all nuget packes, but nothings helps. OIS is working fine.
The plugin is installed in PCL and target projekts

DeviceInfoPlugin Opens Camera and Read/Write Permissions

Good day Sir @jamesmontemagno,

I was using your plugin for Xamarin Forms project due to the need of getting the device info. Your plugin works perfectly for what I need. However, it enabled my android CAMERA and READ/WRITE permissions and I don't have any idea how to disable it. The client really wants to disable these permissions when installing the APK.

I already tried to explicitly add tools:remove to the camera permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file but it still keeps the permissions.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA tools:node="remove">

Is there any way to disable these permissions using this plugin or any alternative solutions to do so.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I wouldn't want to end up removing your plugin just because of this problem.

Best regards,
Jan

DeviceId issue

I am getting deviceId on windows (8.1 or 10) and android (min android version 4.4.2) devices and registering to database this Id for device validation. my app is installed on about 2000 real devices. I have some weird issues.
First issue is: same device could send me different deviceID
Second issue is: 2 or more device could send me same deviceId. Is this an issue or what is wrong ?

My plugin version 2.1.2. VS version is 2015 enterprise
Xamarin forms version: 2.3.3.180
Geolocator version: 4.0.0
Connectivity version: 2.3.0
Plugin.Permission version: 1.1.7
Prism version: 6.3.0-pre1

[Feature Request] Device screen size

Feature Request:

It would be cool if this plugin allowed you to grab the current devices screen size

README Api Usage section out of date

At first glance of the README I went straight to API usage and saw the Platform enums shown as

public enum Platform
{
  Android,
  iOS,
  WindowsPhone,
  Windows
}

That isn't correct anymore. Also the Version string for WinRT works now, right? The README says it always returns "8.1", but looking at the code it seems to be properly parsing the version.

So this bug is to track updating the "Api Usage" section of README

Do I need to install anything else to get it to build?

Redundant Permissions Plugin dependency

The Permissions Plugin dependency is redundant.
I can't find any use of it, except for the sample project.
Can you please remove this dependency from the plugin.

Retrieve Bundle Id/Package Name

Is it possible to get the bundle id of the app?
Some way to get the Bundle Id (iOS) or Package Name (Android).

[Feature Request] Device or Simulator/Emulator

A property to distinguish a physical device from an simulator or emulator would be nice. This would add a simple way to enable some debugging features in dev environments.

Additions to the IDeviceInfo interface:

bool IsDevice { get; }

Additions to the iOS implementation:

public bool IsDevice => Runtime.Arch == Arch.DEVICE;

Additions to the Android implementation (detection is not as simple as on iOS - shamelessly taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/13635166):

public bool IsDevice => !(
	Build.Fingerprint.StartsWith("generic", StringComparison.InvariantCulture)
	|| Build.Fingerprint.StartsWith("unknown", StringComparison.InvariantCulture)
	|| Build.Model.Contains("google_sdk")
	|| Build.Model.Contains("Emulator")
	|| Build.Model.Contains("Android SDK built for x86")
	|| Build.Manufacturer.Contains("Genymotion")
	|| (Build.Brand.StartsWith("generic", StringComparison.InvariantCulture) && Build.Device.StartsWith("generic", StringComparison.InvariantCulture))
	|| Build.Product.Equals("google_sdk", StringComparison.InvariantCulture)
);

I have no knowledge about the other platforms.

What do you think?

Definition of DeviceID

I'm not sure whether it's a bug or a feature request because I don't know the definition of the DeviceID. Summary says "This is the device specific Id".

It seems that this device ID is recalculated (at least on iOS) whenever I uninstall and install the same app again (also reported in #13 where the link in the last comment does not work anymore ) and it also recalculates if the OS is updated (seen by updating from iOS 10.2.1 to iOS 10.3.1). Is this correct? And if so, is it a bug or the expected behaviour?

I thought the ID would give a unique ID for a unique device, regardless of updates of my App, re-installation of my app, update of OS etc. Obviously that's not the case, at least for iOS.

Is there a way with current plugin to get such unique ID? If not, is there any other way for Xamarin Forms?
Many thanks!

AppVersionNumber Include Build Number?

Could/Should AppVersionNumber include the Build number? I use this to explicitly see build versions when building through Mobile Center. Currently I have a simple DependencyService which does the following. Would love to be able to eliminate and just use AppVersionNumber.

iOS CFBundleVersion:

NSBundle.MainBundle.ObjectForInfoDictionary("CFBundleShortVersionString").ToString() + "." + NSBundle.MainBundle.ObjectForInfoDictionary("CFBundleVersion");

Android VersionCode:

Getting IMEI of device

Can you add getting IMEI or list of IMEIs(in case of dual-sim devices) to your features?
Thanks.

iOS Every Uninstall/Install gives new Id

Please fill out either the bug or feature request section and remove whatever section you are not using.

Bug

Version Number of Plugin: 2.0.2
Device Tested On: iPhone 6s
Simulator Tested On: NA

Expected Behavior

Globally unique but same at device level, id every time the app runs [Irrespective of uninstall and install several times]

Actual Behavior

Every time the SAME app is uninstalled and installed, returned id is different. So can not use it like UDID.

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Feature Request:

Please fill in what you would like
It seems its the implementation but I would really like to use id as UDID. Any other way to get that on iOS?
BTW for android its unique per device but same for different apps so it can be used as UDID.

Can't find DeviceName and other properties

I just installed this plugin to get the device name but the property doesn't appear. I thought it's supposed to appear when I enter CrossDeviceInfo.Current.DeviceName but the only properties I see are

• Id
• Idiom
• Model
• Platform
• Version
• VersionNumber

Where can I find the DeviceName property?

I am using version 3.0.2

I've just looked into the source code here on Github and the interface has the property DeviceName.

[Additional feature request] DeviceInfo Plugin to make available Device Hardware (ie iPhone10,3 for iPhoneX)

Hi James
I use a number of your Plugins, which are all great and easy to use.
I need to be able to detect iPhoneX in my app and I don’t want to use the device screen size to determine the hardware type due to the potential issues for future maintenance.
I have found a post by Bag Labs that includes a solution using XLabs, which I don’t use.
Just a thought that a useful extension to your DeviceInfo Plugin would be to return the Hardware name.
Thanks
John

NotImplementedException

Hello. Thank you for your plugins!
I had added Xam.Plugin.DeviceInfo to PCL, Android and iOS projects (I don't use UWP in solution).
When I try to get CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Id I have this exception in my Xamarin PCL Project:
This functionality is not implemented in the portable version of this assembly. You should reference the NuGet package from your main application project in order to reference the platform-specific implementation.

[Input Needed] Rethink ID

So, what do we want the ID to actually be? I described what they currently do in #22

Do we want other properties to be added as well for IDs?

I am looking at this: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html

Not sure how much is supported in iOS and Windows though

Im receiving errors installing your plugin on macOS. Perhaps it could be caused by recent changes to the Xamarin mac runtime.

Version Number of Plugin: 2.1.2

Missing iOS phone model detail

It would be great to have on your plugin detail about iphone model.
CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Model just returns "iPhone"

I've tested method GetVersion() on the link below.
It works fine giving informations such as : iPhone5S,iPod6G, etc...
It just needs to be updated to inform newer models

[Feature Request] Support OSX

Copied from: jamesmontemagno/Xamarin.Plugins#176

Feature Request:

Can you enhance this plugin to detect and return OSX as a platform? Also, another good piece of device information would be the processor architecture, i.e. X86, x64, Ia64, ARM, etc. Thanks.

There is no DeviceInfo.Plugin as in your example

Using a PCL in Xamarin.Forms, DeviceInfo Nuget was added to all three platforms.

In my Pcl class I add "using DeviceInfo.Plugin " and it doesn't exist, however,
it corrects me into adding "Plugins.DeviceInfo" but there is not a .Plugins Property after that, only a .Abstractions?

What am I doing wrong?

Why use Serial Number in Android?

Hi all,
a question regarding #24: As seen in #21, there are several Android devices which return dummy serial numbers, like "0123456789ABCDEF". As @jamesmontemagno describes there, he first checks for the serial, and if not returned, the Android_Id is checked. According to the linked Android Developer docs, Android_Id seems to be much more reliable (as it's created by Android itself) than the serial number (which is no surprise because the serial number is not reliable at all as there are many devices with dummy numbers).

In https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/DeviceInfoPlugin/blob/master/src/DeviceInfo.Plugin.Android/DeviceInfoImplementation.cs, I've removed lines 106-108 and 118 so I always use the Android_Id. This works fine on the emulator, and on my Wiko Lenny 3 with serial number "0123456789abcdef" ... I now get a (hopefully) unique string back (like "4e6e....").

So why is the serial number in Android used first? Maybe because the problems of the dummy serial numbers did not exist years ago, or are there any other reasons (security or else) why the Android_Id is not used in first place?

Many thanks!

P.S. So Android does have an ID (Android_Id) which is kept until user does a factory reset. Something similar for Apple still does not exist, so DeviceID is a new one on each uninstall and new installation of the app, right?

Device Name

Feature Request:

Is it possible to get the Device Name using this plugin, if not could this be added easily, this would really be helpful

[UWP] Current.Id changes on WiFi on/off

On an windows uwp application, CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Id generates different ids depending if wifi is turned on or off. Is this a wanted behavior?
