Device is never null.

If you run ionic emulate browser you will get

cordova:“4.1.0”
isVirtual:null
manufacturer:“unknown”
model:“Chrome”
platform:“browser”
serial:“unknown”
uuid:null
version:"58.0.3029.110

Native plugin only works when using cordova (i.e. executing on a platform: ios, android, browser). But when you only uses the webview ionic serve then plugins are empty objects:

cordova:null
isVirtual:null
manufacturer:null
model:null
platform:null
serial:null
uuid:null
version:null

i am testing from a mobile phone, perhaps i am doing something wrong but i am still getting null for the mac address

and i wrote only this in my code

alert('Mac add is '+uid.MAC);

i’m sure that i am missing something

Do you allow permission to access your information device?

no hasn’t set any permission, where should i set it?

When do you run app his open alert to accept native function.

no none of this has been done

So… Post your code.

i have try this
async getImei() {
const { hasPermission } = await this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(
this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_PHONE_STATE
);

if (!hasPermission) {
const result = await this.androidPermissions.requestPermission(
this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_PHONE_STATE

 );
 alert('new kind of test '+this.uid.MAC);

 if (!result.hasPermission) {
   throw new Error('Permissions required');
 }
 alert('new kind of test '+this.uid.MAC);

 // ok, a user gave us permission, we can get him identifiers after restart app
 return;

}
alert('new kind of test '+this.uid.MAC);
return this.uid.MAC
}

still no results
