FYI: Your Android code will not work on Android 10+ as IMEI and serial number are deemed private and you will have to use the Android Advertising ID instead. – SushiHangover

That information is private to the user and will not be accessible. If you need to identify a user in some way, you can use the IdentifierForVendor property - that's a unique identifier for a device based on a AppStore developer.

var id = UIDevice.CurrentDevice.IdentifierForVendor;
