WinRT = Windows Really Tricky?

I just spent an hour looking at my code trying to figure out whats wrong when in actuality all I needed was to enable a stupid package capability check box. An hour might not seem like a lot but in A.D.D-Developer-time that is like years!

Arrrgggh.

Time is important spending an hour to debug valid code, with no hint that a stupid check box should be checked, is a total waste. Yes I lack understanding in WinRT and I only stumbled on the solution by frantic Googling but come on.

Note to self - key takeaway:

Jas, if your code looks sound do us all a favor and check the damn Package.appxmanifest options ok?
