Current behavior

Access to serial number on android doesn’t work even if android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE is granted. (no error displayed) getSerial return “unknown”

Expected behavior

Serial number should be retrieved

Link to documentation

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build#getSerial() If the calling app has been granted the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE permission; this is a privileged permission that can only be granted to apps preloaded on the device. That means it can be tested only with an app preloaded in android system image
