Android Device UDIDSolved

Hi

Could you explain how you get the Android UDID which is displayed on the Device Info page.

The ID displayed doesn’t appear to match the Android ID that I am able to obtain via my own app or the Android ID obtained when using adb e.g using ‘adb shell settings get secure android_id’.

 

Thanks

Hi @colin,

Thank you for contacting us.

The Android UDID displayed on the Device Info page is a unique identifier assigned to each device. This ID is a randomly generated 64-bit value, typically up to 16 characters long. It is created during the enrollment of the device and serves as a unique reference for managing the device.

If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

Hi @edenpierce

Thanks for your response, just to clarify, the UDID is generated by hexnode and not an ID obtained from the device itself?

Hi @colin,

Yes, that’s correct. The Android UDID displayed on the Device Info page is indeed generated by Hexnode during the enrollment process. It serves as a unique identifier within the Hexnode system and is not derived directly from the device itself.

Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Hi @edenpierce

 

Thanks, is there anyway to get the UDID displayed on the Device Info page from within my own enterprise app?

Hi @colin,

Yes, you can retrieve the UDID displayed on the Device Info page from within your own enterprise app if the app is added as a Managed Google App. You can use the App Configurations feature in Hexnode to pass the UDID as a wildcard (%udid%) to your app. Once the policy is pushed to the device, your app can retrieve this data and display or use it as required.

This assumes that your app is designed to handle and display the data passed via the App Configurations feature.
