It would be nice to have a single app that gave all the device information
we need, such as the various IDs and runtime environment versions, where
these are the ones I use (I post this so others benefit & help out).

These some I use, each of which does something different.

Unfortunately, I haven't found one app which gives you everything you need.

If you can find an app that does all that we need, that would be great, as
it would be nice, for example, to have all the critical versions spit out
by a single app.
Android Security Patch Level version
Google Play Services version
Google Play Store version
Google Play System update version
Android Device ID
Google Services Framework ID
Google Advertising ID
Java VM Android Runtime version
Media DRM Widevine CDM Device Unique ID
Hardware Serial Number
Device Build Fingerprint
etc.

I found an app that is "supposed" to give you all the identifiers,
but it isn't working the way I had expected it to, so I opened this thread.
*Does the Kaltura device identification app work for you?*

Here are some screenshots showing the different outputs of each app:

What's nice about Usenet is that there are people around the world who know
more than you do who are just as purposefully helpful and good hearted.
