I was trying to convert an old project of mine made for Windows phone 8.1 to a universal application for Windows 10, when I came across this error below.

The question is, how do I fix it? , how do I ask for access to the location of an actual computer? like I know there ... using alocalizaliz via ip in the absence of a gps

An Exception of type 'System.Unauthorizedaccessexception' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll but was not handled in user code

To provide location access in Windows 10 you need to add Devicecapability Location in the Package.appxmanifest

 <Capabilities>
   <Capability Name="internetClient" />
   <DeviceCapability Name="location" />
 </Capabilities>

Obs.: There is a script that can help migrate 8.1 apps to Universal Windows Platform. It is available in https://github.com/Win10DevGuideMVA/ProjectUpgradeUtility
