Validate Identifier string (MAC address) on Android #752

Open

Description

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Currently on iOS we check if Identifier is a valid UUID (done automatically by NSUUID object).
However on Android we just use raw string value. We can check if it's a valid MAC address as well.

How to fix, some ideas from @Daeda88

private val regex = "^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$".toRegex()
fun main() {
    println("3D:F2:C9:A6:B3:4F".asValidIdentifier())
}

private fun String.asValidIdentifier(): String? = if (regex.matches(this)) {
    this
} else {
    null
}

or

private fun String.asValidIdentifier(): String? = regex.matchEntire(this)?.let {
    it.groupValues[0]
}
