Detect SIM card change on Android Q 10

There are many of questions/answers on how to detect if the user as changed or not is SIM but many of them rely on obtaining the SIM card imsi (TelephonyManager.getSubscriberId()) and since this info is no longer available (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#non-resettable-device-ids), on Android Q/10 how can we detect that the user changed is SIM?

Check this mobile service subscriptions. Based on the given description, every new sim card should receive a new int number SubscriptionId, unique per device, until it gets factory reset.

var subscriptionManager = getSystemService(SubscriptionManager::class.java)
subscriptionManager.getActiveSubscriptionInfoList()
SubscriptionInfo.getSubscriptionId()
