FAQ

1. DeviceId is coming back null

• Follow permission setting as listed above

2. I'm getting "Platform implementation not supported"

• Ensure you have installed the nuget package on your actual application project

3. UWP battery implementation doesn't do anything

• I haven't been able to find a way to support this yet

4. The DeviceId changes if I uninstall my app from the phone

• There isn't a "static" ID on an iphone that really works. I use IdentifierForVendor()
