System.getDeviceSettings().uniqueIdentifier not found

I have recently switch to developing on Visual Studio and my previously working app is experiencing:

Error: Symbol Not Found Error Details: Could not find symbol 'uniqueIdentifier'

while executing:

var mySettings = System.getDeviceSettings();

var id = mySettings.uniqueIdentifier;

if (id != null) {

System.println(id); //e.g. ac915d426451c88e8ea691fa412f9af9c21b4d12

}

Running in the emulator with SDK version 4.0.6 on a Fenix 6S.

Has uniqueIdentifier been deprecated? This was working with SDK 4 previously.

It's working fine for me with the f6s and the 4.1.7 SDK and the 4.2.0 beta2 SDK

Note, the newer SDKs have type checking on by default.

Ok now this is weird - My PC rebooted and since restarting Visual Studio, it behaves like before and doesn't find the uniqueID even though the SDK manager says 4.1.2 is the current SDK. Is there something broken with the extension and/or does it need to be reinstalled?
