react-native ios get mac address

Question

In the react-native application I use the react-native-device-info library to get the MAC address of the device.

But I can only get the mac address of Android devices. I could not find a library to get the mac address of iOs devices.

How do I get the MAC address of iOs devices?

Answer 1

There is no way of doing this in iOS 7 or later, citing apple:

In iOS 7 and later, if you ask for the MAC address of an iOS device, the system returns the value 02:00:00:00:00:00. If you need to identify the device, use the identifierForVendor property of UIDevice instead.

Instead, you should use "identifierForVendor" which could be received with react-native-device-info:

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info'; 

const uniqueId = DeviceInfo.getUniqueID();
