Important

On Android and iOS platforms, it is not possible, for reasons of confidentiality, to retrieve a truly unique hardware identifier. The side effect is that the hardware code is different (but fixed) for every application you develop, even on the same device.

The hardware code is in the form XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXX00 The last two digits identify the platform:

  • 01: Windows OS

  • 03: Linux OS

  • 05: Android

  • 06: Android package name

  • 07: iOS

  • 08: macOS

  • 09: Jetson Nano

  • 10: iOS Bundle ID

  • 11: Dongle (Windows only)
