react-native-device-info's Issues

Request: detect the device connection (wifi, cellular...)

Hello,

Is there a way to integrate the connection info into this module?

Consider removing peerDependencies?

I just upgraded my project to use the latest rc version of react-native and when I went to npm install I got thrown an error by npm2. I found this GitHub issue which discusses how npm2 ignores rc versions when trying to reconcile peerDependencies. I was curious if you'd be open to removing the peerDependencies requirement of this project to avoid this error?

Runtime failure - crash on UIWebView

Followed the instructions for installing 0.9.4 and tried both automatic and manual install. But it will crash when I run the app on my iPhone with these messages =>
(will you help?)

Search Path Issue on 0.14.2?

Hello! Trying to use this library with react-native 0.14.2 but getting the following error.

2015-12-28 10:12:41.674 [error][tid:main][RCTBatchedBridge.m:436] Error while loading: Unable to resolve module react-native-device-info from /Users/tom/projects/blueprint-native/tabs/LoggedOutScreen.js: Invalid directory /Users/node_modules/react-native-device-info

It doesn't appear to be searching the correct paths? /Users/node_modules instead of the full project path. Is there something obvious I am missing?

I had this issue with some other modules when upgrading to 0.14.2 but I am not particularly sure how it got resolved

Any way to detect which iOS simulator is running?

This is what I'm currently receiving from the iPhone SE sim:

Device Manufacturer Apple
Device Brand Apple
Device Model Simulator
Device ID x86_64
System Name iOS
System Version 10.0

undefined is not object (evaluating 'RNDeviceInfo.deviceId')

var DeviceInfo = require('react-native-device-info');
console.log(DeviceInfo.getDeviceId());

Android 5.1

Naming collision when React Cocoapod is added

I'm currently having an issue where the same file is being added two times to the project (Xcode).

The issue is with the polyfills.js file but it is adding React again. All the files added are already in the project added by npm.

Feature request - Expose getPackageInfo to check if package installed

How about a method to return app and build versions?

Use case, before sharing with an app, for example "Google Earth", check if app installed or desired version installed. If not, then developer prompt user with a store URL

           // Check if Google Earth is installed
            var gePackage = "com.google.earth";
            bool geInstalled;
            try
            {
                PackageManager.GetPackageInfo(gePackage, PackageInfoFlags.Activities);
                geInstalled = true;
            }
            catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException)
            {
                geInstalled = false;
            }

This is similar code to RNDeviceInfo/RNDeviceModule.java

    try {
      PackageInfo info = packageManager.getPackageInfo(packageName, 0);
      constants.put("appVersion", info.versionName);
      constants.put("buildNumber", info.versionCode);
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

Accessing device attributes from native code

Is it possible to access these attributes from native code (Swift in my case) somehow? This is one of the few modules that it would be really helpful to make use of that info, instead of duplicating much of it. I understand this is a bit of an edge case and I'd be happy to make a PR if it's even a thing.

Works great in React, though!

Missing getTimezone in the javascript bridge

Maintainers Wanted

Hi,

Mi name is Joan Barros. I'm currently trying to use this module in a project of mine and If no one else can do it then I guess I could maintain it.

Other candidates please comment on this issue with your proposal.

Regards.

update readme file for android setup on RN 0.18.0-rc

Device id is changing when using rn 23.1?

rn bug?
Test in ios

Support instance ID on iOS (this package currently has a java impl for android)

From what I understand the purpose is an ID that is specific to the install of an application.

  async getInstanceID() {
    // // Check for an existing ID
    let id = await AsyncStorage.getItem("instance-id");
    if (id != null) return id;

    // Generate a new UUID
    id = UUID();

    // Save the ID
    await AsyncStorage.setItem("instance-id", id);

    return id;
  }

That should do it across all platforms. Don't have time to make it look nice / work so I'm opening the issue.

Crash introduced in 0.9.2

After upgrading to 0.9.2, I have this crash upon starting the app:

By changing package.json
from

    "react-native-device-info": "^0.9.1",

    "react-native-device-info": "0.9.1",

the crash goes away.

Crash when country code is nil

[[NSLocale currentLocale] objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode] returns nil in some cases. This causes a crash when the dictionary is constructed in the constantsToExport method.

In my case, I was running UI tests on the simulator.

This field should probably either be omitted or set to [NSNull null] when the country code is nil.

C++ Exception in 'nativeRequireModuleConfig'

I'm getting this error when importing the package:

I'm running an Emulator with Android 4.1.1 and using React Native 0.32

General API improvements and possible room for expansion

Just some ideas I want to jot down for this package:

Talk to @GertjanReynaert of https://github.com/GertjanReynaert/react-native-device and merge efforts.
Rename package to react-native-device or rn-device (see above)
Add activity lifecycle events ~ device.addEventListener("suspend", ...) -- I have this in my current app and I'm looking to open source it (its not much) and all I can find is IOS only or Android only plugins; it's not a ton of code.
Change API to be more javascript and less java -- eg..

import {systemVersion, instanceID, model, userAgent} from "react-native-device";

Just some ideas. I can publish another package for the events if we think its out-of-scope here.

@GantMan ?

No libRNDeviceInfo.a file

According to the installation instruction:

Add the libRNDeviceInfo.a from the deviceinfo project to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries

But, i can not find libRNDeviceInfo.a file in my node_modules/react-native-device-info/ folder. Why? Do i miss something?

Thanks for your help.

Add support for Device ID in iOS

Nice library. Does a bunch of things I could make use of, except the device ID (ie. iPhone2,1). I was thinking of just doing a PR for it myself if it's not something already in the works. I imagine doing it something like this - with only the raw ID, or human friendly name - either works ok for me. What do you think @rebeccahughes?

Year Class Implementation

Was going to start another module but wanted to see there's interest in adding Facebook's Android year-class to this module.

Compatibility with Firebase (Android)

I'm using the module: react-native-fcm which depends on com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.+

This lead to lots of classes being included on the class path twice. And my assemble gradle task wouldn't run.

This fix worked for me, but i'm not sure if it's right in the general case.

Thanks,

Does a persistent device ID exist for iOS?

I want my app to authenticate via unique device identifier so that as long as they're on the same device, they don't need to create an account.

I am open to other ways of accomplishing this, device ID just seemed the best - however the DeviceInfo.getUniqueID() keeps changing on the same device.

getUniqueID() new UUID each type app reopened in ios simulator

A React-Native app I'm developing in IOS simulator, if I double home click and swipe close my app, then reopen it, getUniqueID() returns a brand new UUID.

Is this expected behaviour?

Is it just a quirk of the simulator / react environment?

iOS device name ("Rebecca's iPhone")

Any way [[UIDevice currentDevice] name] (i.e. Rebecca's iPhone, or Arno's iPad) could be added? Is there an Android equivalent to this?

Not getting info in android simulator

Android simulator has no bluetooth, so the part where you sniff for it generates an exception which leads to getting absolutly no info.

compile warning: RNDeviceInfo.o was built for newer iOS version (8.0) than being linked (7.0)

I'm seeing this warning:

ld: warning: object file (/Users/nickpomfret/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/pomochat-cvkhcsdfxgmgokbegzcqhdxmcngh/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libRNDeviceInfo.a(RNDeviceInfo.o)) was built for newer iOS version (8.0) than being linked (7.0)

Would it be possible to release it linking to version 7?

Android getDeviceInfo() returning undefined

noticing this one method is broken. Reviewed the code and it looks like it might be related to #14. @Bhullnatik , any chance you can confirm that this?

cannot build for iOS 8 device?

The iOS Deployment Target on RNDeviceInfo.xcodeproj has been set to iOS 9.0, so I couldn't build it since my app targets 8.0. So I had to change it to 8.0 on the library project file. I tested it on the 8.1 device on the simulator and had no problems.

I am wondering if there is a potential problem lowering this?

Difference between uniqueId and instanceId

From README I understand that uniqueId corresponds to IDFV on iOS, is it null on android?
Do I need instanceId library to make it work on iOS, otherwise is it going to be null?

Device Unique ID will change after reinstall on IOS

It's the same on android. But not on ios.

rnpm install doesn't work on Android

rnpm install installs package only on iOS.
The only I find to install it on Android is the manual installation.

can not get the "com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo"

i follow the advise ,but i can't get the com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo ,i don't know how to expand it

Can all the manual setup be avoided with rnpm?

Please don't pin your play-services dependency at a particular version

It causes issues with other libs when a 3rd-party library, like yours, pins its play-services dependencies at a particular version.

eg:

Removing the bluetooth permission

Hi,

Thanks for the module.
Would you consider removing the <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/> from Manifest.xml since it is optional?

Every time I do a release of my app I realize when I upload to Google Play that a permission has been added because it comes back when I run npm install... So I have to manually edit the manifest and recompile the whole thing.

It's a minor nuisance but it's really easy to prevent.

We could add a descriptive error message when the permission is not granted for newcomers to be warned about this.

Thanks!

getTimezone() not included in current version

It looks like the getTimezone method was added the day after the last version number bump. (see "Merge pull request #83 from antoinerousseau/timezone-getter "). Could you bump the version number so that an npm install gets this method added?

Importing on Android (import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo) doesn't work

Followed the setup instructions, but am not able to get it to build. Tested on:

an existing project (RN v0.31.0)
- with npm@3
a new, freshly initialized RN project (v0.32.1)
- with both npm@3 and npm@2

Here's the log after running react-native run-android:

/Users/martins/RNDeviceInfoTest/android/app/src/main/java/com/rndeviceinfotest/MainApplication.java:11: error: package com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo does not exist

Might be a dupe of #91

Upgrade deviceLocale on Android

Hi,

First off thanks for your module!
I just noticed that your last version now gets the device locale which is great. I wrote a module to do it myself but would be happy to use yours.

My problem is that locale.toString() is... weird on Android as it can return unpredictable results and even the correct result is different from the iOS one (en_US vs en-US). locale.toLanguageTag() seems more robust but only available on API 21 (Lollipop), but using it with a good (enough) fallback seems the good solution to me.

In reference here is the code I'm using now:

private String getCurrentLanguage() {
    Locale current = getReactApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale;
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        return current.toLanguageTag();
    } else {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        builder.append(current.getLanguage());
        if (current.getCountry() != null) {
            builder.append("-");
            builder.append(current.getCountry());
        }
        return builder.toString();
    }
}

I would be happy to look into that and submit a PR.

unnecessary requirements on play store

If I add this module my app start to require unnecessary permissions.

I thought it was because the BLUETOOTH permission but even after removing it the behaviour continues.

The only things that I need permission are:

take pictures
precise location

this is what i have on my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

And this are the permissions:
