Device IMEI

[Ami]

I have an app that is used by many users how ever the use it on just a few devices. I therefore need each phones IMEI data instead of the USEREMAIL. Is that possible?

I’m afraid you can’t read it directly. Though you can save the device’s IMEI with usersettings and then read it with an initial value… like USERSETTINGS(“IMEI”)

Unfortunately you cannot directly read a mobile device’s IMEI number as it requires Device Information Permission which I believe AppSheet does not acquire anyhow. Though it can be read with PHP or C# scripting, it’s a bit of work and may not accumulate correct results as everytime the script runs, it will by-default ask the user’s authentication that an un-trusted source is trying to access device information. This request even might be blocked automatically with some high-end devices coming with the latest OS updates of iOS and Android.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT AppSheet is an useless platform as it has a lot of limitations. I think at this stage it should not be launched. It misguided people and wasting of time to explore.
