How to access the IMEI in react-native

Question

I searched alot and tried some ways but none of them worked. this, this, ...

I want to get IMEI in react-native , so I installed this package and call it as below:

import IMEI react-native-imei
IMEI.getImei().then(imeiList => {
    console.log(imeiList); // prints ["AABBBBBBCCCCCCD"]
});

But when I want to get IMEI, get the following error ?

getImeiForSlot: the user 10265 does not need the requirement to access device identifiers.

How can I achieve this feature?

any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

IMEI access is forbidden as it is a persistent hardware identifier and those are no longer exposed (for android Q and higher). Although if you want to access it, you should add permission to your manifest file Doc and ask for permission before fetching it. If you don't know how to do it, let me know to provide you a sample code.
