https://www.androidpolice.com/googles-latest-android-version-distribution-numbers-show-11-in-dead-heat-with-10/ https://www.androidpolice.com/googles-latest-android-version... hints that ~49% of Android devices will give out the IMEI to third-party apps. [late 2021]
- jeroenhd 4y agoThat's still a majority of devices where you can't assume that the IMEI is available. I'd argue processing the IMEI for legitimate purposes (i.e. generating device passwords) is not something you should rely on and instead you should come up with a solution that works in both cases. It still works fine if your intent is to stalk users, though.

- sofixa 4y agoIf an app can't use a certain logic for half of its install base, and needs a separate flow anyways, why would it bother with having two?
