    How can I obtain the Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth address as shown in Settings->General->About on iOS devices?

    I've tried using QNetworkInterface::hardwareAddress(), but that is not working.

      Hi,

      Are you looking for a unique identifier for the device ?

        Yes, that is correct. Usually I would use the MAC address, but any unique identifier will do

          IIRC, you have to use UIDevice:identifierForVendor for that task

            @SGaist Thanks for the reply. I am assuming there is no Qt context for this other than wrapping a C++ interface around an objective C call?

              No there's not, but it's really not hard, you can take some inspiration from the QtMacExtras module e.g. the badgeLabelText function
