# UWPPackagesGetter

Windows Runtime Component that gets all installed apps from your users Windows 10 Device. (Win32 Programs are not included). 

Note: This uses restricted capabilites so only Business accounts can upload apps using this Runtime Component to the Store. However, anyone can still use this if they are sideloading the app.

## Before you start, do this first:

1. Add the `rescap` namespace to the `IgnorableNamespaces` section of your Package.appxmanifest file. So it looks something like this:

``` xml

  ....

```

2. Then in the capabilities tags, add the "packageQuery" and "packageManagement" restricted capabilites:

``` xml

 

    

    

    

  

```

Now the classes used will all work without permission exceptions :)

## Installation:

Open the Nuget Package Manager console and enter this command:

`Install-Package UWPPackgesGetter.ColinKiama`

or... In a a Universal Windows Project, go to Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution then on the "Browse" section, search for "UWPPackgesGetter.ColinKiama" then, you can install the package for each project you want to use in your current solution.

## How to use:

``` C#

 // Quick Example

 ObservableCollection MyPackages = new ObservableCollection();

 MyPackages = PackageGetter.GetAllPackagesAsync();

```
