react-native-device-info

Device Information for React Native.

v2 to v3 upgrade

If you are upgrading from v2 to v3, check the guide out: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/wiki/V2-to-V3-Migration-Guide

v3 to v4 upgrade

For those upgrading to v4, follow the v2 to v3 guide first, then follow this: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/wiki/V3-to-V4-Migration-Guide

Installation

Using npm:

npm install --save react-native-device-info

or using yarn:

yarn add react-native-device-info

⚠️ If you are on React Native > 0.47, you must use version 0.11.0 of this library or higher

AndroidX Support

This module defaults to AndroidX you should configure your library versions similar to this in your android/build.gradle file's "ext" block

Android

...
  ext {
    // dependency versions

    We have 3 options for deviceId:
    //Option 1 (latest):
    firebaseIidVersion = "19.0.1" // default: "19.0.1"
    //Option 2 (legacy GooglePlay dependency but using AndroidX):
    googlePlayServicesIidVersion = "17.0.0" // default: "17.0.0" - AndroidX
    //Option 3 (legacy GooglePlay dependency before AndroidX):
    googlePlayServicesIidVersion = "16.0.1"


    //include as needed:
    compileSdkVersion = "28" // default: 28 (28 is required for AndroidX)
    targetSdkVersion = "28" // default: 28 (28 is required for AndroidX)
    supportLibVersion = '1.0.2' // Use '28.0.0' or don't specify for old libraries, '1.0.2' or similar for AndroidX
    mediaCompatVersion = '1.0.1' // Do not specify if using old libraries, specify '1.0.1' or similar for androidx.media:media dependency
    supportV4Version = '1.0.0' // Do not specify if using old libraries, specify '1.0.0' or similar for androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4 dependency
  }
...

If you need non-AndroidX you will need to use the jetifier package in reverse mode, documentation available with that package.

Linking (for React Native <= 0.59 only, React Native >= 0.60 skip this as auto-linking should work)

Automatic

react-native link react-native-device-info

(or using rnpm for versions of React Native < 0.27)

rnpm link react-native-device-info

For iOS users using Pods You still need to run pod install after running the above link command inside your IOS folder.

Manual

iOS (via CocoaPods) RN <= 59

RN <= 59: Bug

mv ios/Podfile .
react-native link react-native-device-info
mv Podfile ios

Do not append pod 'RNDeviceInfo', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-device-info' to the Podfile

iOS (via CocoaPods) RN >= 60

Add the following lines to your build targets in your Podfile

pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native'

# Explicitly include Yoga if you are using RN >= 0.42.0
pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

pod 'RNDeviceInfo', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-device-info'

# React-Native is not great about React double-including from the Podfile
post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React"
      target.remove_from_project
    end

    # It removes React & Yoga from the Pods project, as it is already included in the main project.
    targets_to_ignore = %w(React yoga)
    if targets_to_ignore.include? target.name
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end

Then run pod install

iOS (without CocoaPods)

In XCode, in the project navigator:

Right click Libraries
Add Files to [your project's name]
Go to node_modules/react-native-device-info/ios
Add the file RNDeviceInfo.xcodeproj

In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project.

Add the libRNDeviceInfo.a from the deviceinfo project to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
Click .xcodeproj file you added before in the project navigator and go the Build Settings tab. Make sure All is toggled on (instead of Basic).
Look for Header Search Paths and make sure it contains both $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React and $(SRCROOT)/../../React
Mark both as recursive (should be OK by default).

Run your project (Cmd+R)

Android

optional in android/build.gradle:

...
  ext {
    // dependency versions
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "<Your play services version>" // default: "16.1.0" - pre-AndroidX, override for AndroidX
    compileSdkVersion = "<Your compile SDK version>" // default: 28
    targetSdkVersion = "<Your target SDK version>" // default: 28
  }
...

in android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+   implementation project(':react-native-device-info')
}

in android/settings.gradle:

...
include ':app'
+ include ':react-native-device-info'
+ project(':react-native-device-info').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-device-info/android')

With React Native 0.29+

in MainApplication.java:

+ import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;

  public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    //......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+         new RNDeviceInfo(),
          new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }

    ......
  }

With older versions of React Native

in MainActivity.java:

+ import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    ......

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+       new RNDeviceInfo(),
        new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }
  }

NOTE: If you faced with this error: Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-device-info:debugCompileClasspath'., in build.gradle put google() in the first line (according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/50748249)

in android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
+       google()
        ...
    }
}

(Thanks to @chirag04 for writing the instructions)

Windows

Open the solution in Visual Studio for your Windows apps
right click your in the Explorer and click Add > Existing Project...
Navigate to ./<app-name>/node_modules/react-native-device-info/windows/RNDeviceInfo and add RNDeviceInfo.csproj
this time right click on your React Native Windows app under your solutions directory and click Add > Reference...
check the RNDeviceInfo you just added and press ok
open up MainReactNativeHost.cs for your app and edit the file like so:

+ using RNDeviceInfo;
......
        protected override List<IReactPackage> Packages => new List<IReactPackage>
        {
            new MainReactPackage(),
+           new RNDeviceInfoPackage(),
        };

(Thanks to @josephan for writing the instructions)

Usage

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

// or ES6+ destructured imports

import { getUniqueId, getManufacturer } from 'react-native-device-info';

API

Note that many APIs are platform-specific. If there is no implementation for a platform, then the "default" return values you will receive are "unknown" for string, -1 for number, and false for boolean. Arrays and Objects will be empty ([] and {} respectively).

Most APIs return a Promise but also have a corresponding API with Sync on the end that operates synchronously. For example, you may prefer to call isCameraPresentSync() during your app bootstrap to avoid async calls during the first parts of app startup.

getApiLevel()

Gets the API level.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getApiLevel().then(apiLevel => {
  // iOS: ?
  // Android: 25
  // Windows: ?
});

Examples

DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel().then(batteryLevel => {
  // 0.759999
});

Notes

To be able to get actual battery level enable battery monitoring mode for application. Add this code:

[UIDevice currentDevice].batteryMonitoringEnabled = true;

to AppDelegate.m application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

Returns -1 on the iOS Simulator

getBootloader()

The system bootloader version number.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getBootloader().then(bootloader => {
  // "mw8998-002.0069.00"
});

// "com.example.AwesomeApp"

isCameraPresent()

Tells if the device have any camera now.

Examples

DeviceInfo.isCameraPresent()
  .then(isCameraPresent => {
    // true or false
  })
  .catch(cameraAccessException => {
    // is thrown if a camera device could not be queried or opened by the CameraManager on Android
  });

Notes

Hot add/remove of camera is supported.

Returns the status of the physical presence of the camera. If camera present but your app don't have permissions to use it, isCameraPresent will still return the true

getCarrier()

Gets the carrier name (network operator).

Examples

DeviceInfo.getCarrier().then(carrier => {
  // "SOFTBANK"
});

getCodename()

The current development codename, or the string "REL" if this is a release build.

Gets the device name.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getDeviceName().then(deviceName => {
  // iOS: "Becca's iPhone 6"
  // Android: ?

});

getFirstInstallTime()

Gets the time at which the app was first installed, in milliseconds.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getFirstInstallTime().then(firstInstallTime => {

});

getFontScale()

Gets the device font scale. The font scale is the ratio of the current system font to the "normal" font size, so if normal text is 10pt and the system font is currently 15pt, the font scale would be 1.5 This can be used to determine if accessability settings has been changed for the device; you may want to re-layout certain views if the font scale is significantly larger ( > 2.0 )

In iOS App Extensions this call always returns 1.0, see #625.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getFontScale().then(fontScale => {
  // 1.2
});

  // iOS: 17179869184
});

Notes

From developer.android.com:

This method was deprecated in API level 29.

Return the primary shared/external storage directory.

Note: don't be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and that is shared across all applications (does not enforce permissions). Traditionally this is an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.

getFreeDiskStorageNew()

New method that gets available storage size, in bytes, taking into account both root and data file systems calculation instead of shared/external storage directory (Android only - no difference from the older one for iOS).

Examples

DeviceInfo.getFreeDiskStorage().then(freeDiskStorage => {
  // Android: 17179869184
  // iOS: 17179869184
});

getHardware()

The name of the hardware (from the kernel command line or /proc).

Examples

DeviceInfo.getHardware().then(hardware => {
  // "walleye"
};

getHost()

Hostname

Examples

DeviceInfo.getHost().then(host => {
  // "wprd10.hot.corp.google.com"
});

getIpAddress()

Deprecated Gets the device current IP address. (of wifi only) Switch to @react-native-community/netinfo or react-native-network-info

Examples

DeviceInfo.getIpAddress().then(ip => {
  // "92.168.32.44"
});

Android Permissions

android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE

Notes

Support for iOS was added in 0.22.0

getIncremental()

The internal value used by the underlying source control to represent this build.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getIncremental().then(incremental => {
  // "4820017"
});

getInstallerPackageName()

The internal value used by the underlying source control to represent this build.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getInstallerPackageName().then(installerPackageName => {
  // Play Store: "com.android.vending"
  // Amazon: "com.amazon.venezia"
  // Samsung App Store: "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps"
  // Developer, iOS: "unknown"
});

getInstallReferrer()

Gets the referrer string upon application installation.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getInstallReferrer().then(installReferrer => {
  // If the app was installed from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myapp&referrer=my_install_referrer
  // the result will be "my_install_referrer"
});

getInstanceId()

Gets the application instance ID.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getInstanceId().then(instanceId => {
  // Android: ?
});

Notes

See https://developers.google.com/instance-id/

  // Android: 1517681764992
});

getMacAddress()

Gets the network adapter MAC address.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getMacAddress().then(mac => {
  // "E5:12:D8:E5:69:97"
});

Android Permissions

android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE

Notes

iOS: This method always return "02:00:00:00:00:00" as retrieving the MAC address is disabled since iOS 7

getManufacturer()

Gets the device manufacturer.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getManufacturer().then(manufacturer => {
  // iOS: "Apple"
  // Android: "Google"
  // Windows: ?
});

getMaxMemory()

Returns the maximum amount of memory that the VM will attempt to use, in bytes.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getMaxMemory().then(maxMemory => {
  // 402653183
});

getModel()

Gets the device model.

iOS warning: The list with device names is maintained by the community and could lag new devices. It is recommended to use getDeviceId() since it's more reliable and always up-to-date with new iOS devices. We do accept pull requests that add new iOS devices to the list with device names.

Examples

let model = DeviceInfo.getModel();
// iOS: ?
// Android: ?
// Windows: ?

getPhoneNumber()

Gets the device phone number.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getPhoneNumber().then(phoneNumber => {

});

Android Permissions

android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

Notes

This can return undefined in certain cases and should not be relied on. SO entry on the subject.

getPowerState()

Examples

let readableVersion = DeviceInfo.getReadableVersion();
// iOS: 1.0.1.32
// Android: 1.0.1.234
// Windows: ?

getSerialNumber()

Gets the device serial number. Will be 'unknown' in almost all cases unless you have a privileged app and you know what you're doing.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getTags().then(tags => {
  // "release-keys, unsigned, debug",
});

getType()

The type of build.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getType().then(type => {
  // "user", "eng"
});

getTotalDiskCapacity()

Gets full disk storage size, in bytes.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getTotalDiskCapacity().then(capacity => {
  // Android: 17179869184
  // iOS: 17179869184
});

getTotalDiskCapacityNew()

New method that gets full disk storage size, in bytes, taking into account both root and data file systems calculation instead of shared/external storage directory (Android only - no difference from the older one for iOS).

Examples

DeviceInfo.getTotalDiskCapacity().then(capacity => {
  // Android: 17179869184
  // iOS: 17179869184
});

getTotalMemory()

Gets the device total memory, in bytes.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getTotalMemory().then(totalMemory => {
  // 1995018240
});

getUniqueId()

This is a constant and may be referenced directly

Gets the device unique ID. On Android it is currently identical to getAndroidId() in this module. On iOS it uses the DeviceUID uid identifier. On Windows it uses Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning.EasClientDeviceInformation.id.

Examples

let uniqueId = DeviceInfo.getUniqueId();
// iOS: "FCDBD8EF-62FC-4ECB-B2F5-92C9E79AC7F9"
// Android: "dd96dec43fb81c97"
// Windows: ?

Notes

iOS: This is IDFV or a random string if IDFV is unavaliable. Once UID is generated it is stored in iOS Keychain and NSUserDefaults. So it would stay the same even if you delete the app or reset IDFV. You can carefully consider it a persistent, cross-install unique ID. It can be changed only in case someone manually override values in Keychain/NSUserDefaults or if Apple would change Keychain and NSUserDefaults implementations. Beware: The IDFV is calculated using your bundle identifier and thus will be different in app extensions.

android: Prior to Oreo, this id (ANDROID_ID) will always be the same once you set up your phone.

syncUniqueId()

This method is intended for iOS.

This synchronizes uniqueId with IDFV or sets new a random string.

On iOS it uses the DeviceUID uid identifier. On other platforms it just call getUniqueId() in this module.

Examples

DeviceInfo.syncUniqueId().then(uniqueId => {
  // iOS: "FCDBD8EF-62FC-4ECB-B2F5-92C9E79AC7F9"
  // Android: "dd96dec43fb81c97"
  // Windows: ?
});

Notes

If user moved or restored data from one iOS device to second iOS device then he will have two different devices with same uniqueId in Keychain/NSUserDefaults. User can call syncUniqueId() on new iOS device. That will update his uniqueId from IDFV or a random string.

getUsedMemory()

Gets the app memory usage, in bytes.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getUsedMemory().then(usedMemory => {
  // 23452345
});

getUserAgent()

Gets the device User Agent.

Examples

DeviceInfo.getUserAgent().then(userAgent => {
  // iOS: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0 Mobile/13B143"
  // tvOS: not available
  // Android: ?
  // Windows: ?
});

getVersion()

Gets the application version.

Examples

let version = DeviceInfo.getVersion();
// iOS: "1.0"
// Android: "1.0"
// Windows: ?

isAirplaneMode()

Tells if the device is in Airplane Mode.

Examples

DeviceInfo.isAirplaneMode().then(airplaneModeOn => {

Hooks & Events

Currently iOS & Android only (web support for battery/charging-related APIs).

useBatteryLevel or RNDeviceInfo_batteryLevelDidChange

Fired when the battery level changes; sent no more frequently than once per minute.

Examples

import { useBatteryLevel } from 'react-native-device-info'

const batteryLevel = useBatteryLevel(); // 0.759999

<Text>{ batteryLevel }</Text>

import { NativeEventEmitter, NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const deviceInfoEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(NativeModules.RNDeviceInfo);

deviceInfoEmitter.addListener('RNDeviceInfo_batteryLevelDidChange', level => {
  // 0.759999
});

useBatteryLevelIsLow or RNDeviceInfo_batteryLevelIsLow

Fired when the battery drops is considered low

Platform	Percentage
iOS	20

=======

Native interoperatibily

If you need to check for device type from the native side, you can use the following:

import com.learnium.resolver.DeviceTypeResolver

...
deviceTypeResolver = new DeviceTypeResolver(context);
...
//Check if the device is a Tablet:
if(deviceTypeResolver.isTablet){
  ...
}else{
  ...
}

Troubleshooting

When installing or using react-native-device-info, you may encounter the following problems:

[android] - Unable to merge dex / Multiple dex files / Problems with `com.google.android.gms`

react-native-device-info uses com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm to provide getInstanceId(). This can lead to conflicts when building the Android application.

If you're using a different version of com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm in your app, you can define the googlePlayServicesVersion gradle variable in your build.gradle file to tell react-native-device-info what version it should require. See the example project included here for a sample.

If you're using a different library that conflicts with com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm, and you are certain you know what you are doing such that you will avoid version conflicts, you can simply ignore this dependency in your gradle file:

 compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}

[ios] - ld: library not found for -lRNDeviceInfo-tvOS

Seems to be a bug caused by react-native link. You can manually delete libRNDeviceInfo-tvOS.a in Xcode -> [Your iOS build target] -> Build Phrases -> Link Binary with Libraries.

[ios] - [NetworkInfo] Descriptors query returned error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 “The connection to service named com.apple.commcenter.coretelephony.xpc was invalidated.”

This is a system level log that may be turned off by executing: xcrun simctl spawn booted log config --mode "level:off" --subsystem com.apple.CoreTelephony. To undo the command, you can execute: xcrun simctl spawn booted log config --mode "level:info" --subsystem com.apple.CoreTelephony

[ios] - Multiple versions of React when using CocoaPods "tries to require 'react-native' but there are several files providing this module"

RN<=59 You may need to adjust your Podfile like this if you use Cocoapods and have undefined symbols or duplicate React definitions

target 'yourTargetName' do
  # See http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps.html#configuring-cocoapods-dependencies
  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
    'Core',
    'CxxBridge', # Include this for RN >= 0.47
    'DevSupport', # Include this to enable In-App Devmenu if RN >= 0.43
    'RCTText',
    'RCTNetwork',
    'RCTWebSocket', # Needed for debugging
    'RCTAnimation', # Needed for FlatList and animations running on native UI thread
    # Add any other subspecs you want to use in your project
  ]

  # Explicitly include Yoga if you are using RN >= 0.42.0
  pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

  # Third party deps podspec link - you may have multiple pods here, just an example
  pod 'RNDeviceInfo', path: '../node_modules/react-native-device-info'

end

# if you see errors about React duplicate definitions, this fixes it. The same works for yoga.
post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React"
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end

[tests] - Cannot run my test suite when using this library

react-native-device-info contains native code, and needs to be mocked. Jest Snapshot support may work though.

Here's how to do it with jest for example:

// in your package.json:
"jest": {
  "setupFiles": [
    "./testenv.js"
  ],

// testenv.js:
jest.mock('react-native-device-info', () => {
  return {
    getModel: jest.fn(),
  };
});

[warnings] - I get too many warnings (battery state, etc)

Some of the APIs (like getBatteryState) will throw warnings in certain conditions like on tvOS or the iOS emulator. This won't be visible in production but even in development it may be irritating. It is useful to have the warnings because these devices return no state, and that can be surprising, leading to github support issues. The warnings is intended to educate you as a developer. If the warnings are troublesome you may try this in your code to suppress them:

import { YellowBox } from 'react-native';
YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Battery state']);

Release Notes

Contributing

Please see the contributing guide.

react-native-dom

As a courtesy to developers, this library was made compatible in v0.21.6 with react-native-dom and react-native-web by providing an empty polyfill in order to avoid breaking builds.

Only getUserAgent() will return a correct value. All other API methods will return an "empty" value of its documented return type: 0 for numbers, '' for strings, false for booleans.
