Integrating the SDK into your project

Note: This module requires that the @ping-identity/rn-core module is already set up and installed.

# Install & setup the core module
yarn add @ping-identity/rn-core
# Install the rn-device-id module
yarn add @ping-identity/rn-device-id
# If you are developing your app using iOS, run this command
cd ios && pod install
Copy

Or using npm:

npm install @ping-identity/rn-device-id
cd ios && pod install
Copy

How to Use the SDK

Get the default device ID

import { getDeviceId } from '@ping-identity/rn-device-id';

const deviceId = await getDeviceId();
console.log('Device ID:', deviceId);
Copy

API reference

import { getDeviceId } from '@ping-identity/rn-device-id';
import type {
  DeviceIdError,
  DeviceIdErrorCode,
  DeviceIdLoggerOptions,
} from '@ping-identity/rn-device-id';

function getDeviceId(options?: DeviceIdLoggerOptions): Promise<string>;
Copy

Platform behavior

getDeviceId resolves a stable, secure identifier backed by native platform storage.

• Android: backed by KeyStore-generated material and generally resets after uninstall.
• iOS: backed by Keychain and typically persists across uninstall/reinstall.
• Both platforms: identifier is app/device scoped and returned as a string.

Error handling

All promise rejections throw a DeviceIdError instance, which extends PingError extends Error. Use instanceof to narrow the error type:

import { DeviceIdError } from '@ping-identity/rn-device-id';

try {
  await getDeviceId();
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof DeviceIdError) {
    console.log(err.code, err.type, err.message);
  }
}
