You're targeting api level 29. Since 29, it throws a SecurityException . getDeviceId() is deprecated since API 26, you should try getImei() ;

If you want to get imei, you can try

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
    String imei = tm.getImei();
} else {
    String imei = tm.getDeviceId();
}
