Phone Permission in android PIE

Question

recently my clients are reporting some crashes about one of my apps, in that app I needed IMEI of the device to make sure the uniqueness of the users. now in Android Pie we can't access IMEI, whats the alternative now, since there are a lot of my users are signed in, I can't just change the IMEI code to another code.

check `if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.P)` use new imei — Manohar, Apr 23 '19 at 09:05

Starting in Android Q, apps must have the READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE privileged permission in order to access the device's non-resettable identifiers, which include both IMEI and serial number.
