Answer 1

You can use the ASHWID to get device ID, but it is package related ID. If you need device ID which is not related to app package use the AdvertisingID but it's require more permissions.

Sample code to get ASHWID:

var token = HardwareIdentification.GetPackageSpecificToken(null);
var hardwareId = token.Id;
var base64Hwid = Convert.ToBase64String(hardwareId.ToArray());
