Hi, so that's it, with "new" Android versions you can't get it anymore?
Thank you very much.

The id that is most similar to mac address, phone number, IMEI and other no longer accessible ids, is the advertising identifier. This is a global id.
So, for example, from "settings", how is the IMEI displayed?

It seems that in the google play store there are applications to read the phone number, the IMEI, the serial number, etc..
There must be some way to read it.

You can get it with PhoneId from the Phone library, after you request the android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE permission at runtime.

Once you see that it works, you need to:
1. Remove this permission with RemovePermission.
2. Add it with maxSdkVersion. Example here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/runtime-permissions-android-6-0-permissions.67689/#content
3. Add the READ_PHONE_NUMBERS permission.

Request the correct permission based on Phone.SdkVersion.

I'm not sure I understand the steps given, I only get errors like the one that says READ_PHONE_NUMBERS permission does not exist.

I have tried several times but have not been able to get anything because I do not understand the steps to follow.
I don't know how to remove a permission that is in the manifest, or add it, from runtime code.

I have already tried this program, but in my case it does nothing, it does not show any message of any kind.

In #7 you got told
There is no such answer from you. What do you expect?

Hi, DonManfred, the problem is that I don't have any code because I don't understand the steps to follow with the permissions issue.
I just don't know where to start.
