You might want to add that this is from a private framework. (See the question Unknown linked to in his/her answer.) – matsr May 08 '12 at 08:09

You cannot get IMEI through public API. If you want to obtain some device identifier to use in your application you must use uniqueIdentifier property defined in UIDevice class - it is there for exactly that purpose.

NSString* uniqueID = [UIDevice currentDevice].uniqueIdentifier;

you can obtain IMEI using private frameworks - see this question, but your app will be rejected from app store then.

If u use NetworkController *ntc = [NetworkController sharedInstance]; NSString *imeistring = [ntc IMEI]; u will get ur imei of ur iphone. apple rejected a app of @nehasoni. Bcz this person using this code. So rejected by apple. If u use UniqueId of iphone, apple never reject the app. cool :) – Ravi Kumar Karunanithi May 08 '12 at 11:45
