I'm working on a feature that opens Windows Apps in the Microsoft Store from an unmanaged application.
As far as I know, the correct way to programmatically interact with the Store is through URI's descried in
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/launch-store-app
This works well on Windows 10, however the same URI's seem to only launch the Store as if without any arguments under Windows 8/8.1 (ex. start ms-windows-store://settings just launches the store without navigating to the settings page, the same thing happens when I try to open an app's page.)
Are there any working alternatives for opening apps in the store under 8/8.1?
I've attempted launching "Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe" through the IApplicationActivationManager interface however I don't know how to format the arguments so that the store recognizes them, currently I'm only able to open the store.
