Get mac address and ip in Nativescript - nativescript

Question

We are implementing a server for app distribution and we need restrict the access to the apps by:
mac address
ip
At the moment I have not found any module that can obtain this data from the device in nativescript, so i don't know if there's a plugin or how else can I achieve this.

Answer 1

In nativescript you can access native apis of device
so if there isn't any module/plugin for it you can use this option for accessing native apis.
https://docs.nativescript.org/core-concepts/accessing-native-apis-with-javascript
for example there is solution for mac adress here
in JAVA:
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
String mac = wInfo.getMacAddress();
we can write it in javascript like this:
first we should fine where is this getSystemService:
after searching in documentation of android we found:
getSystemService is in android.content.Context
for accessing context in nativescript http://docs.nativescript.org/cookbook/application
we can do:
import app = require("application");
app.android.context;
so let's write it in javascript:
we don't have types in javascript so we use var instead;
var context = android.content.Context;
var wifiManager = app.android.context.getSystemService(context.WIFI_SERVICE);
var wInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
var mac = wInfo.getMacAddress();
NOTE1 : as mentioned in above java solution link you should add this permision <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"></uses-permission> to app/App_Resources/AndroidManifest
NOTE2 : the above solution was for android,for ios you should find the solution with objective_c and convert to javascript with help of nativescript documentation.
NOTE3:In android 6 you might need request permision
You can also use this method to create a plugin for nativescript.
