Permissions

WARNING: Minimum API Level is 23

This plugin uses two different Android APIs to receive SIM data:

• TelephonyManager (since API level 1)
• SubscriptionManager (since API level 22)

Since Android 6 (API level 23) a few methods of TelephonyManager require permission READ_PHONE_STATE.

All methods of SubscriptionManager require permission READ_PHONE_STATE.

SubscriptionManager is able to access multiple SIM data.

TODO

• Get sim information on iOS
