The plugin already checks on the android version and uses getSerial() instead from Android 26 ("O") and above, I am not sure why the compiler complained about it:

plus_plugins/packages/device_info_plus/device_info_plus/android/src/main/kotlin/dev/fluttercommunity/plus/device_info/MethodCallHandlerImpl.kt

Lines 68 to 76 in 40f9c42

	if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
	build["serialNumber"] = try {
	Build.getSerial()
	} catch (ex: SecurityException) {
	Build.UNKNOWN
	}
	} else {
	build["serialNumber"] = Build.SERIAL
	}

Running flutter build apk on the example project doesn't show this error.

Can you paste your full flutter build apk output, and as well check if you have any custom lint rules?

@miquelbeltran looks like it's not happening again. I've tried to replicate the warning in order to give you a more detailed way to reproduce it but everything looks good now.
Thanks for the quick reply!

[JohnettJobben1]

@miquelbeltran This appears as a deprecation warning, even though we've already added conditional handling to prevent it(from plugin level).

It occurs during the first build. If we ignore the warning and proceed with a subsequent build, the warning disappears.

However, if a clean build is performed, the warning reappears during the next build.

If we add @SuppressLint("HardwareIds") at the plugin level(like following image), will it cause any issues?

[miquelbeltran]

mmhh yeah makes sense. Can you submit a PR with the Lint suppress annotation?

[JohnettJobben1]

I will submit the PR with the Lint suppress annotation shortly.

[JohnettJobben1]

Hi @miquelbeltran, I’ve created the PR. Please review the changes.
