no d?finition for RequestAccessAsync in windows10 but i need it

[blaise]

[FONT=&quot]this is normal with windows10 for a universal application since it is the OS that manages the permission of the user OK fine !!! But my app is automatically compatible windows 8.x at submission store and it fails since with 8.x it is the programmer who manages the authorization with the code:

[COLOR=#454545][FONT=&quot]  Var accessStatus = await Geolocator.RequestAccessAsync (); request access[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#454545][FONT=&quot]Switch (accessStatus) // test accessStatus
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=&quot]In visual studio 2015 no definition in geolocator for requestaccessasync (), (only "equal" and "reference equal") someone would know how to get around this problem I've been searching for a week and i can use this function with visualstudio10

What does Geolocator.RequestAccessAsync() return?
We have no idea what Object or variable accessStatus even is to begin helping you.

nothing because if i call this methode in visualstudio 2015 return "geolocator no contain d?finition for requestaccessasync".I think that is because on windows10 this request is managed automaticly by the OS and doesn't exist more but i need it forcompatibility with window8.Something about this,do you understand?

I think you have the wrong project type, in Win8 you probably have Windows Phone 8 app, with Win10 you need Universal Windows app according to this: Geolocator class - Windows app development

Move from Windows Runtime 8.x to UWP'

For that I think you need to install "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools" on Windows 10. I'm using VS 2015 and see that is an option ('install w8 tools') in New Project dialog under Windows 8, or modify VS setup and select same there.

"Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools" on window 10 are installed, have a good day, thank :smug:
