When we develop apps in Flutter, sometimes, we need to get the user device unique ID to distinguish the user. In this blog post, I will introduce how to use the device_info_plus package to get the user device unique ID in Flutter.
- device_info_plus: https://pub.dev/packages/device_info_plus
Install device_info_plus
To get the user device unique ID, we need to use the device_info_plus package. To use the device_info_plus package, execute the following command to install the device_info_plus package.
flutter pub add device_info_plus
Get device unique ID
Actuall, the device_info_plus package doesn’t a feature to get the device unique ID. So, we need to make a function to get the device unique ID with the device_info_plus package.
The following code is that I use to get the device unique ID.
Future<String> getDeviceUniqueId() async {
var deviceIdentifier = 'unknown';
var deviceInfo = DeviceInfoPlugin();
if (Platform.isAndroid) {
var androidInfo = await deviceInfo.androidInfo;
deviceIdentifier = androidInfo.androidId!;
} else if (Platform.isIOS) {
var iosInfo = await deviceInfo.iosInfo;
deviceIdentifier = iosInfo.identifierForVendor!;
} else if (Platform.isLinux) {
var linuxInfo = await deviceInfo.linuxInfo;
deviceIdentifier = linuxInfo.machineId!;
} else if (kIsWeb) {
var webInfo = await deviceInfo.webBrowserInfo;
deviceIdentifier = webInfo.vendor! +
webInfo.userAgent! +
webInfo.hardwareConcurrency.toString();
}
return deviceIdentifier;
}
If you use the function above, you can get the device unique ID not only on iOS and Android, but also on Linux and Web.
