How to get device serial number of an iOS using Xamarin forms

Does anyone know how to retrieve a ios device's serial number using xamarin forms in C#? I am trying to develop a mobile application, so I would need to differentiate the devices.

For xamarin forms android device I am retrieve serial number using below code:

Java.Lang.String serialnum = (Java.Lang.String)(get.Invoke(c, "gsm.sn1"));
Solution

  • That information is private to the user and will not be accessible. If you need to identify a user in some way, you can use the IdentifierForVendor property - that's a unique identifier for a device based on a AppStore developer.

    var id = UIDevice.CurrentDevice.IdentifierForVendor;
