Exception from HRESULT: 0x80640012

Question

I am trying to listen connectionRequested listener,

private WiFiDirectConnectionListener _listener;
...
_listener.ConnectionRequested += ConnectionRequestedAsync;

Here is the listener callback,

private async void ConnectionRequestedAsync(WiFiDirectConnectionListener sender, WiFiDirectConnectionRequestedEventArgs args) 
{
        WiFiDirectConnectionRequest request = args.GetConnectionRequest();
        if (request != null)
        {
            try
            {
                WiFiDirectDevice _device = await WiFiDirectDevice.FromIdAsync(request.DeviceInformation.Id);
                ...
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("Exception::\"{0}\"", e.Message));
            }
        }
}

Exception found in log (for call WiFiDirectDevice.FromIdAsync),

Exception::"Exception from HRESULT: 0x80640012"

Any Idea what can be the cause?

Below code worked for me,

try
{
    // IMPORTANT: FromIdAsync needs to be called from the UI thread
    if (Application.Current.Dispatcher.CheckAccess())
    {
        _wfdDevice = await WiFiDirectDevice.FromIdAsync(deviceID);
    }
    else
    {
        await Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new Action(async () =>
        {
            _wfdDevice = await WiFiDirectDevice.FromIdAsync(deviceID);
        }));
    }

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Logger.E($"Exception in FromIdAsync: {ex.Message}, StackTrace: {ex.StackTrace}\n\r");
}
