How do iOS get the Mac address of a mobile phone

First of all, the following two methods can obtain the mac address of the mobile phone, but there is a limit, which is below iOS7. After iOS7, Apple made technical processing for sysctl and ioctl. The MAC address returned is 02:00:00:00:00:00.
The official document reads:
"Twolow-networking APIs used return MAC now thefixed value 02:00:00:00:00:00. The APIs question are sysctl(NET_RT_IFLIST) and ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF). Developers using value MAC address should migrate such as -[UIDevice identifierForVendor].
Therefore, after iOS7, it is no longer possible to get the device's only 1 marked Mac address, and other addresses can only be used instead.
Here are two ways to do it:
You need to import several header files
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
Method 1:
// Return the local MAC addy
// Courtesy of FreeBSD hackers email list
// Accidentally munged during previous update. Fixed thanks to mlamb.
- (NSString *) macaddress
{
int mib[6];
size_t len;
char *buf;
unsigned char *ptr;
struct if_msghdr *ifm;
struct sockaddr_dl *sdl;
mib[0] = CTL_NET;
mib[1] = AF_ROUTE;
mib[2] = 0;
mib[3] = AF_LINK;
mib[4] = NET_RT_IFLIST;
if ((mib[5] = if_nametoindex("en0")) == 0) {
printf("Error: if_nametoindex error/n");
return NULL;
}
if (sysctl(mib, 6, NULL, &len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
printf("Error: sysctl, take 1/n");
return NULL;
}
if ((buf = malloc(len)) == NULL) {
printf("Could not allocate memory. error!/n");
return NULL;
}
if (sysctl(mib, 6, buf, &len, NULL, 0) < 0) {
printf("Error: sysctl, take 2");
return NULL;
}
ifm = (struct if_msghdr *)buf;
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *)(ifm + 1);
ptr = (unsigned char *)LLADDR(sdl);
NSString *outstring = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x", *ptr, *(ptr+1), *(ptr+2), *(ptr+3), *(ptr+4), *(ptr+5)];
// NSString *outstring = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x", *ptr, *(ptr+1), *(ptr+2), *(ptr+3), *(ptr+4), *(ptr+5)];
NSLog(@"outString:%@", outstring);
free(buf);
return [outstring uppercaseString];
}
Method 2:
- (NSString *)getMacAddress
{
int mgmtInfoBase[6];
char *msgBuffer = NULL;
size_t length;
unsigned char macAddress[6];
struct if_msghdr *interfaceMsgStruct;
struct sockaddr_dl *socketStruct;
NSString *errorFlag = NULL;
// Setup the management Information Base (mib)
mgmtInfoBase[0] = CTL_NET; // Request network subsystem
mgmtInfoBase[1] = AF_ROUTE; // Routing table info
mgmtInfoBase[2] = 0;
mgmtInfoBase[3] = AF_LINK; // Request link layer information
mgmtInfoBase[4] = NET_RT_IFLIST; // Request all configured interfaces
// With all configured interfaces requested, get handle index
if ((mgmtInfoBase[5] = if_nametoindex("en0")) == 0)
errorFlag = @"if_nametoindex failure";
else
{
// Get the size of the data available (store in len)
if (sysctl(mgmtInfoBase, 6, NULL, &length, NULL, 0) < 0)
errorFlag = @"sysctl mgmtInfoBase failure";
else
{
// Alloc memory based on above call
if ((msgBuffer = malloc(length)) == NULL)
errorFlag = @"buffer allocation failure";
else
{
// Get system information, store in buffer
if (sysctl(mgmtInfoBase, 6, msgBuffer, &length, NULL, 0) < 0)
errorFlag = @"sysctl msgBuffer failure";
}
}
}
// Befor going any further...
if (errorFlag != NULL)
{
NSLog(@"Error: %@", errorFlag);
return errorFlag;
}
// Map msgbuffer to interface message structure
interfaceMsgStruct = (struct if_msghdr *) msgBuffer;
// Map to link-level socket structure
socketStruct = (struct sockaddr_dl *) (interfaceMsgStruct + 1);
// Copy link layer address data in socket structure to an array
memcpy(&macAddress, socketStruct->sdl_data + socketStruct->sdl_nlen, 6);
// Read from char array into a string object, into traditional Mac address format
NSString *macAddressString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",
macAddress[0], macAddress[1], macAddress[2],
macAddress[3], macAddress[4], macAddress[5]];
NSLog(@"Mac Address: %@", macAddressString);
// Release the buffer memory
free(msgBuffer);
return macAddressString;
}
Above is iOS to get the phone's Mac address two ways, I hope to help you learn.
