I have a Windows 8 app that downloads the online assets, unzips them into the LocalState folder, and accesses that content when the user is offline. I use a custom IUriStreamResolver to provide the content. The local URL might look like this:
ms-local-stream://package-name_application-key/.../.../
The part I'm after is the application-key. While the package-name is in the Package.appmanifest, the application-key is not. I've also verified the package-key is not part of the LocalState path. I'm wanting to use WebView.BuildLocalStreamUri and it requires the contentIdentifier, this is documented as the concatenation of the package-name and application-key.
I've done quite a bit of digging through the API's via the Object Browser, and of course I've pretty much exhausted Google and DuckDuckGo (love that search engine BTW), and they've not provided any fruit.
Does anybody know how I can get at that key the app generates and uses for this?
Apparently it doesn't actually matter what the value is. It has no bearing on the URL that is formed. I wanted to answer this for the next person trying to use this method. It just cannot be null or an empty string.
