Ionic 5, how to get the serial number of device via capacitor?

Issue

I'm building an app by using Ionic 5 & CapacitorJs, I want to know how to get the serial number via the capacitor plugin?

I don't want to use the Cordova plugin if possible.

Solution

You can read IMEI, ICCID, IMSI and MAC with Ionic Device

First of all you need to install plugins

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-uid
$ npm install @ionic-native/uid

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-android-permissions
$ npm install @ionic-native/android-permissions 

Or with capacitor:

npm install @ionic-native/android-permissions
npm install cordova-plugin-android-permissions
npm install cordova-plugin-uid
npm install @ionic-native/uid

ionic cap sync

So you need to implement something like this:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    
    import { UniqueDeviceID } from '@ionic-native/unique-device-id/ngx';
    import { Uid } from '@ionic-native/uid/ngx';
    import { AndroidPermissions } from '@ionic-native/android-permissions/ngx';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-home',
      templateUrl: 'home.page.html',
      styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'],
    })
    export class HomePage {
    
      constructor(
        private uniqueDeviceID: UniqueDeviceID,
        private uid: Uid,
        private androidPermissions: AndroidPermissions
      ) {
      }
    
        ...
        ...
    
    }

And

  getPermission(){
    this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(
      this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_PHONE_STATE
    ).then(res => {
      if(res.hasPermission){
        
      }else{
        this.androidPermissions.requestPermission(this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_PHONE_STATE).then(res => {
          alert("Persmission Granted Please Restart App!");
        }).catch(error => {
          alert("Error! "+error);
        });
      }
    }).catch(error => {
      alert("Error! "+error);
    });
  }

And

  getID_UID(type){
    if(type == "IMEI"){
      return this.uid.IMEI;
    }else if(type == "ICCID"){
      return this.uid.ICCID;
    }else if(type == "IMSI"){
      return this.uid.IMSI;
    }else if(type == "MAC"){
      return this.uid.MAC;
    }else if(type == "UUID"){
      return this.uid.UUID;
    }
  }

OR MAYBE BETTER

getID_UID = (type) => (this.uid[type])
