When I run the method below the process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd hangs and or returns empty. But the exact method run just fine using a console application. Is there something I am missing in UWP that needs added to this method?
private void GetDeviceProperties()
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "adb.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "shell getprop";
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
process.Start();
//* Read the output (or the error)
string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
string err = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
process.WaitForExit();
}
UWP runs in a sandboxed environment, it seems that can not execute or launch directly exe from the UWP. You can try to launch a URI or file using the Windows.System.Launcher class though.
