I am working on creating some basic Xbox One UWP application. Can someone provide me with a link to API's that can do Xbox One specific tasks? Taking a screenshot, seeing user that is active, recording, friends lists. Those kinds of things.

Currently, there is no such APIs to implement your requirement, most of them are controlled by system instead of app.

For the possibilities in UWP on Xbox One, see UWP on Xbox One samples

See also UWP features that aren't yet supported on Xbox

Reference: UWP Game Capture on Xbox DirectX or MMF

  • Thank you for answering that. This question is outside the scope of the question above, however can you point me in the right direction for creating a UWP game. I know how to write C# logic but C# isn't good for graphical games. So I would assume I would need C++, is there any samples right now that are a mixture of both? – Bailey Miller Aug 10 '16 at 14:50
  • @BaileyMiller DX or Unity, check [Developing games on Windows 10](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/games/develop) and [Create a simple Universal Windows Platform (UWP) game with DirectX](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/gaming/tutorial--create-your-first-metro-style-directx-game) – Franklin Chen - MSFT Aug 11 '16 at 06:56
  • Indeed only retail publishers/developers or Id@Xbox publishers have access to the Xbox Live API which has some of those features – RoguePlanetoid Aug 30 '16 at 15:21
