How to get current AppInfo in UWP environment

Question

How can I get the current AppInfo of the running UWP application? I could not find any accessible constructor or static function to get this information.

Answer 1

You could get App​Diagnostic​Info of all uwp apps that are running by the following code.

var list = await App​Diagnostic​Info.RequestInfoAsync();

And then you could get AppInfo from each item in the App​Diagnostic​Info list.

foreach (var diagnosticinfo in list)
{
    info = diagnosticinfo.AppInfo;
}
var id = info.Id;

Please note that you need to declare the following capabilities in the Package.appxmainfest.
