WinRT Exception

[raver99]

Hi,

For WinRT apps I get an exception while trying to store the versionTrail list into the app settings.
I get: "Error trying to serialize the value to be written to the application data store".

I think storing lists in the data store is not supported, so a serialization is needed.
I will add a PR with a fix.

Cheers,
Roland

Has this fix made it to a new NuGet package? If so, could you point me at it please.

I'm getting the same issue when using this plugin in UWP...

Exception thrown: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' in System.Private.CoreLib.ni.dll
WinRT information: Error trying to serialize the value to be written to the application data store
An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in System.Private.CoreLib.ni.dll but was not handled in user code
WinRT information: Error trying to serialize the value to be written to the application data store
Data of this type is not supported.

Error trying to serialize the value to be written to the application data store

It appears that the similar issue #8 was fixed by PR #9, which is closed without reason.
Also this PR raver99#1 from @raver999 looks interesting.

It works fine in iOS and Android.

I'll take a look. Is this only when tracking?

This is immediately on the call CrossVersionTracking.Current.Track();.

All fixed up :)

I can confirm it being fixed in v2.1.0. Thanks for fixing!
