I tried to integrate OpenTelemetry .NET instrumentation with UWP and it consistently threw an exception in Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder(). The exact same sample code works fine in a non UWP app. The error is:

System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'OpenTelemetry.Resources.ResourceBuilder' threw an exception.'

Inner Exception
PlatformNotSupportedException: Retrieving information about local processes is not supported on this platform.

Could someone confirm that OpenTelemetry does not support UWP? Thanks.

  • Based solely on the error message, I guess it doesn't support it. Tablet programs are terribly limited in what they can do, and the library seems to be enumerating processes, one of the restricted actions. – Alejandro Jan 04 '22 at 20:03
  • Thanks for the response. – Fee Chin Jan 07 '22 at 18:20
