Abstract	The need for unique mobile device identification on the Android platform is paramount for many applications, including user authentication, device tracking, fraud prevention, analytics, and personalization. However, due to privacy concerns, security requirements, and platform restrictions, obtaining a reliable and persistent device identifier has become more complex over the years. This paper explores various methods available on Android devices to identify unique mobile devices, from traditional hardware-based identifiers like IMEI to modern software-based techniques such as Advertising IDs and Google Firebase Instance IDs. It examines each approach's strengths, limitations, and practical use cases, helping developers make informed choices while balancing privacy and functionality.
