I have tried the accepted answer of How to get IMEI on iPhone? but I got an empty string.
I saw somebody suggested to use CoreTelephony framework, but I am not sure how to use it to obtain the IMEI.
Any suggestion on how to use this private API?
NOTE: this does not work anymore!
Haven't tested on any new iOS.
You have to add CoreTelephony.h to your project. Make sure the header has
int * _CTServerConnectionCopyMobileEquipmentInfo (
struct CTResult * Status,
struct __CTServerConnection * Connection,
CFMutableDictionaryRef * Dictionary
);
Then you can try this code:
#import "CoreTelephony.h"
void getImei() {
struct CTResult it;
CFMutableDictionaryRef kCTDict;
conn = _CTServerConnectionCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, ConnectionCallback,NULL);
_CTServerConnectionCopyMobileEquipmentInfo(&it, conn, &kCTDict);
NSLog (@ "kCTDict is %@", kCTDict);
CFStringRef meid = CFDictionaryGetValue(kCTDict, CFSTR("kCTMobileEquipmentInfoMEID"));
NSLog (@ "kCTMobileEquipmentInfoMEID is %@", meid);
CFStringRef mobileId = CFDictionaryGetValue(kCTDict, CFSTR("kCTMobileEquipmentInfoCurrentMobileId"));
NSLog (@ "kCTMobileEquipmentInfoCurrentMobileId is %@", mobileId);
}
Here's the CoreTelephony.h
You can check my example project.
Note: I don't think the code works on the simulator and your app might get rejected.
