Description

After installing my application, the camera function stopped working.

It turns out the issue was "Illegal Access" when trying to save the picture to the application's root folder.

I was able to fix the problem by writing to the local storage folder instead:

Original Code:

Windows.Storage.StorageFolder.getFolderFromPathAsync(packageId.path).done(function (storageFolder) {
/* Some code here */
});

Correction:

var storageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder;
/* Same code here */
