Signature

function getDeviceInfo(): Promise<DeviceInfoResponse>

Response Type

interface DeviceInfoResponse {
  uuid?: string;
  manufacturer?: string;
  model?: string;
  serial?: string;
  android_id?: string;
  device_name?: string;
}

Fields

Field	Type	Description
uuid	string?	Unique device identifier (Hardware UUID or GUID)
manufacturer	string?	Device manufacturer (e.g., "Apple Inc.", "Dell Inc.")
model	string?	Device model name (e.g., "MacBook Pro", "OptiPlex 7090")
serial	string?	Device serial number (may be restricted on some platforms)
android_id	string?	Android-specific device ID (Android only)
device_name	string?	User-assigned device name (hostname)

Example

import { getDeviceInfo } from 'tauri-plugin-device-info-api';

const device = await getDeviceInfo();

console.log(`Device: ${device.deviceName}`);
console.log(`Model: ${device.model}`);
console.log(`Manufacturer: ${device.manufacturer}`);
console.log(`UUID: ${device.uuid}`);
console.log(`Serial: ${device.serial}`);

Platform-specific Behavior

Windows

• Uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)
• UUID from Win32_ComputerSystemProduct
• Serial from Win32_BIOS or Win32_ComputerSystemProduct

macOS

• Uses system_profiler SPHardwareDataType
• Manufacturer is always "Apple Inc."
• Full access to UUID and serial

Linux

• Reads from /sys/class/dmi/id/
• UUID fallback to /etc/machine-id
• May require root for serial number

iOS

• UUID from identifierForVendor (vendor-specific)
• Serial uses persistent Keychain-stored UUID
• Real device name may require entitlement

Android

• UUID from Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID
• Model and manufacturer from android.os.Build

Example Output

{
  "deviceName": "MacBook-Pro",
  "manufacturer": "Apple Inc.",
  "model": "MacBook Pro",
  "uuid": "12345678-1234-5678-9ABC-DEF012345678",
  "serial": "C02ABC123DEF",
  "android_id": null
