If you google a bit about this problem, you can’t find a right solution because all people are speaking about Hardware Token. Unfortunately this functionality doesn’t exists for Universal Windows Application.
There are at the moment only a way. You have to add the Extension reference “Windows Desktop Extensions for the UWP” or “Windows Mobile Extensions for the UWP“, then you can use the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning;
using Windows.System.Profile;
namespace PSC.Code
{
public sealed class DeviceInfo
{
private static DeviceInfo _Instance;
public static DeviceInfo Instance
{
get
{
if (_Instance == null)
_Instance = new DeviceInfo();
return _Instance;
}
}
public string Id { get; private set; }
public string Model { get; private set; }
public string Manufracturer { get; private set; }
public string Name { get; private set; }
public static string OSName { get; set; }
private DeviceInfo()
{
Id = GetId();
var deviceInformation = new EasClientDeviceInformation();
Model = deviceInformation.SystemProductName;
Manufracturer = deviceInformation.SystemManufacturer;
Name = deviceInformation.FriendlyName;
OSName = deviceInformation.OperatingSystem;
}
private static string GetId()
{
if (Windows.Foundation.Metadata.ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.System.Profile.HardwareIdentification"))
{
var token = HardwareIdentification.GetPackageSpecificToken(null);
var hardwareId = token.Id;
var dataReader = Windows.Storage.Streams.DataReader.FromBuffer(hardwareId);
byte[] bytes = new byte[hardwareId.Length];
dataReader.ReadBytes(bytes);
return BitConverter.ToString(bytes).Replace("-", "");
}
throw new Exception("NO API FOR DEVICE ID PRESENT!");
}
}
}
Someone speaks about to use EasClientDeviceInformation provides a unique Id but this is working only for Windows Store Apps.
var deviceInformation = new EasClientDeviceInformation(); string Id = deviceInformation.Id.ToString();
Happy coding!
