Android

Dual-Sim Support

From Api Level 22, A.K.A LOLLIPOP_MR1 or Android 5.1, there is support for dual sim. I would like to point out that there is a difference in number of information attributes between what Android considers the default subscription (TelephonyManager) and the subscriptions (SubscriptionManager).

iOS

Dual-Sim Support

From iOS 12 on, Apple supports dual sim. The available information attributes are the same for the default and secondary sim. At the moment, I could not test how is the support for e-sim cards. I would appreciate if anyone is able to test it and let me know

Phone Number

Apple does not allow the access to the phone number under any circumstance. More information on this topic can be found under the point 2.5.2 of the guidelines.
