Hello,

can I get the device Id or IMEID

You can get the device id, but you cannot get IMEID for android platform. Starting from Android 10, apps installed from the Google Play Store cannot get IMEI number. You will get this Security Exception.

You can refer to the following code to get the device ID.

#if ANDROID
          
            var device_id =  Android.Provider.Settings.Secure.GetString(Android.App.Application.Context.ContentResolver, Android.Provider.Settings.Secure.AndroidId);


#endif

Best Regards,
