I am trying to get the model info of our chromebooks with:

chrome.enterprise.hardwarePlatform.getHardwarePlatformInfo((info)=>

{

$('#info').append("<b>Model: " + info + "<br><hr>");

});

But it always returns "undefined".

I am getting other device attributes fine (with the code shown below) the only one I cant get working is the , "Get device model" (Hardware platform info). Any thoughts? This extension is being forced installed to our devices.

function displayInfo( JSONObject, Heading, noHR)
{
		$('#info').append("<b><h3>" + Heading + "</h3></b><br>");
		for (var key in JSONObject) 
		{
			if (JSONObject.hasOwnProperty(key)) 
				{
				var val = JSONObject[key];
				$('#info').append("<b>" + key + " :</b> " + val + "<br>");
				}	
		}
		if(noHR == true)
		{
			//
		}
		else
		{
			$('#info').append("<hr>");
		}
	
}

function populateDeviceInfo() {
  // Get User	
	chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo((info)=>
	{
		displayInfo(info, "User Profile");
	});
//get Device ID
	chrome.enterprise.deviceAttributes.getDirectoryDeviceId((info)=>
	{
		$('#info').append("<b>Device ID: " + info + "<br><hr>");
	});
//Get Serial Number
	chrome.enterprise.deviceAttributes.getDeviceSerialNumber((info)=>
	{
		$('#info').append("<b>Serial Number: " + info + "<br><hr>");
	});
//Get Asset Tag
	chrome.enterprise.deviceAttributes.getDeviceAssetId((info)=>
	{
		$('#info').append("<b>Asset Tag: " + info + "<br><hr>");
	});
//Get Device Model
	chrome.enterprise.hardwarePlatform.getHardwarePlatformInfo((info)=>
	{
		$('#info').append("<b>Model: " + info + "<br><hr>");
	});

	
	
	
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    populateDeviceInfo();
});

Hi Simeon, Matthew

Just to make sure - was that bug fixed?

Does it work on Windows / Mac as well?

Hi guys, pinging again.

Does this API works (/partially works) in windows / macOS?
