There is no way to obtain the serial number of a device using the SDK. The unique identifier, as the name indicates, is a string guaranteed to be unique for each device. If you need access to the serial number for some other reason (i.e. tracking devices in an enterprise environment) I'd advise checking out the iPhone Configuration utility.

Hello all,
I want iPhone serial number programatically.For that i use NSString
*deviceId = [UIDevice currentDevice]
uniqueIdentifier<http://discussions.apple.com/>

I get deviceId but it is iPhone uniqueID(40 char). How i get correct serial
number which is given behindiPhone?

I do not believe that there is a way to get the serial number through the API. Why do you need the serial number, and why does the uniqueIdentifier not suffice for your needs?
