FileOpenPicker, FolderPicker and FolderPicker not available in partial trust/AppContainer #9557

Open

Description

Describe the bug

In WinUI 3 it is needed to do the following call to initialize a picker dialog:

WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize(openPicker, hWnd);

It works just fine in full trust mode but fails when it is called in partial trust/inside an AppContainer (access denied exception).

This is terrible news because it means that WinUI 3 can either use the WinRT file dialogs OR run in partial trust. But NOT both at the same time.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Create a packaged WinUI 3 app with the default template
  2. Change Package.appxmanifest such that the app runs in partial mode
  3. Optional: add the broadFileSystemAccess capability
  4. Test the FilePicker code snippet from the WinUI 3 Gallery: winui3gallery://item/FilePicker

Expected behavior

The file dialogs should open just as expected.
