[Question] How to setup RestrictedSample. I can do sample code on same solution, but not on new project.

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

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Copy RestrictedSamples’s widget to WidgetAdvSampleCS’s widget1 and widget2… a. Update NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform nuget to 1 more version. WidgetAdvSampleCS is one version behind b. Copy Extensions\DispatcherTaskExtensions c. Copy widget1 class entirely

Expected behavior

1. The file picker should not crashed…
2. If Debug it is

 System.UnauthorizedAccessException
  HResult=0x80070005
  Message=Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
  Source=<Cannot evaluate the exception source>
  StackTrace:
<Cannot evaluate the exception stack trace>

Additional context I am no sure, I feeling kinda stupid to even merge two sample. Any other config/setting or nuget update need to be done? The project’s solution Link

Probably I doing wrong with these? But I haven click the widget 1’s file picker and never clean it, before clicking widget2’s file picker // Also, at this time you should let the XboxGameBarForegroundWorker object fall out of scope, as it is only allowed to be used once

@edwardchanjw We added a reg key you can set to enable calling the restricted API from any widget for testing/development purposes.

Please try adding the following key to this location: Software\Microsoft\GameBar DevFeatures (Set to 1)

Closing since there hasn’t been activity since Oct 7 and it appears totallymonkey gave a workaround for development. If you have need to ship a widget with a Restricted API, you can reach out to us to add your widget to the allow list.

Thanks! Ben
