(AutoIt) Get Network Adapter IP and MAC Addresses

Retrieves network adapter information, including IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) and MAC addresses.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.3 or later.

$oSocket = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")
$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")

$oJson.EmitCompact = False

; Note: The GetAdaptersAddresses method was added in Chilkat v10.1.3.
Local $bSuccess = $oSocket.GetAdaptersAddresses($oJson)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSocket.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite($oJson.Emit() & @CRLF)

; Android:

; On Android, accessing the MAC address directly is restricted on modern Android versions (API level 23 and above) due to privacy and security concerns. 
; Apps targeting Android 6.0 (API level 23) or higher cannot access the MAC address of the device using standard APIs.
; If you're developing for modern Android, consider using alternative identifiers (e.g., instance IDs) instead of the MAC address, as recommended by Google.
; 
; Chilkat will not return MAC addresses for Android, regardless of the API level.
; Only IP addresses are returned for Android.
