Android - require("tns-core-modules/platform").device.uuid | Cannot read property 'getContentResolver' of undefined

From @cpreston321 on March 18, 2019 16:3

Environment Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

• CLI: 5.2.4
• Cross-platform modules:5.2.2
• Android Runtime:5.2.1
• iOS Runtime:5.2.0
• Plugin(s): NONE

Describe the bug When you try to recieve the device uuid on Android the app crashes saying that Cannot read property ‘getContentResolver’ of undefined. But IOS works perfectly fine.

To Reproduce Just add this to startup of the project

const platformModule = require("tns-core-modules/platform");

var test = { uuid: platformModule.device.uuid, }; console.log("asdasdasd", JSON.stringify(test));

Expected behavior Supposed to return the uuid of the device.

Sample project https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-vue&id=v2zJSb&v=1

Additional context I tried logging the platform.android.js file under “tns-core-modules/platform” and logged var nativeApp = appModule.android.nativeApp; came back as undefined so if that could help you debug it faster thanks.

It will also work if you wrap that code in a setTimeout:

setTimeout(() => {
  var test = {
    model: platformModule.device.model,
    device: platformModule.device.deviceType,
    manufacturer: platformModule.device.manufacturer,
    uuid: platformModule.device.uuid,
    os: platformModule.device.os,
    osVersion: platformModule.device.osVersion,
    sdkVersion: platformModule.device.sdkVersion,
    region: platformModule.device.region,
    screen: {
      heightDIPs: platformModule.screen.mainScreen.heightDIPs,
      heightPixels: platformModule.screen.mainScreen.heightPixels,
      widthDIPs: platformModule.screen.mainScreen.widthDIPs,
      widthPixels: platformModule.screen.mainScreen.widthPixels,
      scale: platformModule.screen.mainScreen.scale
    }
  };

  console.log("asdasdasd", JSON.stringify(test));

});
