User information

gporcelli

I am using the code below to collect Account Information:

var res = await User.FindAllAsync(UserType.LocalUser);
foreach (var r in res)
{
  var props = await r.GetPropertiesAsync(new string[] { KnownUserProperties.DisplayName });
  foreach (var p in props)
  {
    Debug.Write(p.Key + ": " + p.Value);
  }
}

On Mobile Phone this return values, on HoloLens not, something wrong?

I just went to search for this topic and found this. If you go to the Settings app, then select the Privacy option and select the the User Info option, you can manually turn on the permission for User Account Information for your app. This will make the above code work.

Of course, this isn't an optimal solution. On a non flat app, I'm not sure if there is a way to have the permissions dialog show up. Does anyone know a way around this?

How did you managed to run this code , this is giving me errors on HoloLens ?
How did you added "User information Capability"?
