How to get device id or imei number in android 10 or above

Question

In my app i am trying to get user imei number to prevent any fraud activity from user, so user can not register multiple fake accounts.

My app is working fine with my old device android version 7.0, But in my new device android version 10 app immediately crash on splash screen where i am trying to get imei number.

When i try to track run log i got this:

The user 10335 does not meet the requirements to access device identifiers

Run (Run Log): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KgkmJBuHi8GCNgJFHCltXaAnFizaUsGy/view?usp=sharing

i try adding <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE" /> in manifest.xml but still not work

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

this is the main (splash) screen where my app is crash:

I looked into this for a bit and I don't think it possible anymore without having system app permissions.

If you just need a unique identifier for a device, AndroidID may be sufficient: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Secure#ANDROID_ID

Or you could link directly to the setting page with this intent, and instruct the user to manually get the IMEI:
