Is the Google Services Framework ID (GSF ID) visible and accessible to all apps downloaded on mobile device running on Android 10 or higher? Or is the GSF ID only visible and accessible to privileged apps on the device?

I would assume any app can read it. Just needs to request the permission http://androidpermissions.com/permission/com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES
