How can I obtain normal file path from application URI given that I'm aware of application / package id?




ms-appx:///assets/Logo.png

ms-appdata:///local/Packs/area1.dat




PathCreateFromUrlW obviously does not work. I think for UWP applications there is a crippled method to obtain a path for current application by creating an instance of storage file object using IStorageFileStatics::GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync and then invoking IStorageItem::get_Path.

There is a workaround:



You can use GetPackagePathByFullName to get the UWP application install path using PACKAGE_ID.
The path will like this C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.SDKSamples.ListView.CS_1.0.0.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.



If you want a path of file under assets the path will be C:Program FilesWindowsAppsMicrosoft.SDKSamples.ListView.CS_1.0.0.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbweAssetsLogo.png



Sample code:



GetPackagePathByFullName(L"Microsoft.SDKSamples.ListView.CS_1.0.0.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe", &path, buffer);
