Unable to use USE_ICC_AUTH_WITH_DEVICE_IDENTIFIER permission signed Android app

[crispjoe]

or my use cases I needed to extract non-resettable hardware information like IMEI, MAC from android devices.

As per the android docs for getting IMEI https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager#getImei(int)crispjoe

So, I am going ahead with signature protection level. So, I am creating a signed app and running on my andriod device google pixel 5A which runs on Android 12.

when I am running this code I am facing "The user 10240 does not meet the requirements to access device identifiers." security exception

i think its because you need to add that permission to the AndroidManifest.xml file
