Android and Iphone MacAddress

Unity Engine
1

Hi

Is there any way to get the mac addresses of Android and Iphone devices?

I have tried with

  • for(var stuff : NetworkInterface in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())*
  • {*
  • if (stuff.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up)*
  • {*
  • var macAddress = stuff.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString();*
    }
  • print(macAddress);*
  • }*

But it prints 4 things, only one of them the mac address
and this is just for pc.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Okey I got the mac address from my pc with this:

	for(var stuff : NetworkInterface in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces())

	{

		if (stuff.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up)

		{

			var macAddress = stuff.GetPhysicalAddress().ToString();

			if(!macAddress.StartsWith("0000")  macAddress!="")

			{

				print(macAddress);

			}

        }

	}

But it does not work with android, I can imagine that it should look totaly different for Android and Iphone, but I have found nothing about it.

I was wondering the same thing, can you by any chance post the whole script that worked on your PC, the script as it is cannot run on it’s own.

It would be great also if it could work on both iOS and Android.

Right now I have found a way in pure C for iOS but I don’t know how to make it work with Unity3D and if it can be used on Android as well.

If anybody can find more informations it will be very appreciated.

Hey guys! I found the solution. This code works on MacOS and on iOS. I haven’t tested on Android.

// Returns the 1st valid Mac Address
function GetMacAddress(){
	var macAdress = "";
	var nics : NetworkInterface[] = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
	
	var i = 0;
	for (var adapter: NetworkInterface in nics){
		var address: PhysicalAddress = adapter.GetPhysicalAddress();
		if(address.ToString() != ""){
			macAdress = address.ToString();
			return macAdress;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

Cheers! Good Luck on your project!

One solution for Android devices, using Unity’s AndroidJavaObject constructor:

   AndroidJavaObject mWiFiManager;

   string ReturnMacAddress()
   {
      string macAddr = "";
      if (mWiFiManager == null)
      {
         using (AndroidJavaObject activity = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer").GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity"))
         {
            mWiFiManager = activity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getSystemService","wifi");
         }
      }
      macAddr = mWiFiManager.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getConnectionInfo").Call<string>("getMacAddress"
      return macAddr;
  }

Note, this only returns a valid MAC address if the WiFi adapter is already enabled on the device.

Hello sorry for keep wth this thread, but Im still unable to access the mac of my android device from unity.

Hello, I can’t make this work, this part is not recognised on mono develop: AndroidJavaObject mWiFiManager;

I dont know exactly how people feel about resurrecting dead threads but I would recommend creating your own one thread as this usually annoys people on forums.

I hope this help
in unity go to
Assets => Plugins => Android => AndroidManifest.xml
and add this line of Code as permissions



and script

  •      AndroidJavaObject mWiFiManager;

     string ReturnMacAddress()
     {
        string macAddr = "";
        if (mWiFiManager == null)
        {
           using (AndroidJavaObject activity = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer").GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity"))
           {
              mWiFiManager = activity.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getSystemService","wifi");
           }
        }
        macAddr = mWiFiManager.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getConnectionInfo").Call<string>("getMacAddress");
        return macAddr;
    }

Работает на 7-м Анройде а на 6-м по прежнему хуй… =(
public void DisplayTypeAndAddress()
{
NetworkInterface[ ] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
txt.text = txt.text + (nics.Length + " nics").ToString() + “\n”;
foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in nics)
{
IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
txt.text = txt.text + (adapter.Description).ToString() + “\n”;
txt.text = txt.text + (String.Empty.PadLeft(adapter.Description.Length, ‘=’)).ToString() + “\n”;
txt.text = txt.text + (" Interface type … :" + adapter.NetworkInterfaceType) + “\n”;
txt.text = txt.text + (" Physical Address … :" + adapter.GetPhysicalAddress()) + “\n”;
txt.text = txt.text + (" Is receive only… :" + adapter.IsReceiveOnly) + “\n”;

@APGame Hi, I would like to point out that I was using @master2001 solution, which worked fine on my testing device (Android 4.0), but after testing in others devices and some research I found this code it is not working anymore on Android 6.0+. Unfortunately, I didn´t find another way to retrieve the Mac Address, but in my case I needed a unique identifier for each device, so the solution I found (although it is not the best one, it is the most reliable at the moment) is quite simple, use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-deviceUniqueIdentifier.html instead. I took the solution from here: How to find mac address in ios and android? - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions. Hope this helps you or somebody else.
