Windows 10 Feedback Task for my App

Similar to this question which invokes the Windows 10 store to allow a user to write a review or rate an app, I'd also like to be able to invoke the Windows 10 Feedback app and allow users to provide feedback there.

I cannot seem to find much information on:

  1. How this works in general. Can any old app use this service? (I notice it just kind of shows whatever apps I have running)
  2. How to invoke the Windows Feedback app with my package id

In short - not that I can see.

Other apps are invoked via protocol activation. I haven't seen this documented for the feedback app though so I have to err on the side of 'we haven't made this available yet' (I'm still checking though)

Here's an overall guide to the process http://blog.jerrynixon.com/2012/10/walkthrough-using-windows-8-custom.html?m=1

When I look in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Extensions\ContractId\Windows.Protocol I see (shortened a tad)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Extensions\ContractId\Windows.Protocol\PackageId\Microsoft.WindowsFeedback...\ActivatableClassId\App.AppX7eaybq6p4x7d4jgd6w6jk7r5dg6yhmbf.mca\CustomProperties]

"Name"="windows-feedback"

So - give that a try via launching windows-feedback

If I do Windows Key-R (run): windows-feedback://

it works fine so this should work:

var uri = new Uri(@"windows-feedback://");

var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

if (success)
{
   // URI launched
}
else
{
   // URI launch failed
}

Update

I've done some searching and it seems the magic parameter there is windows-feedback:?contextid=522 That launches the NFL feedback for example. This is a predetermined number - I'm not sure how one gets on this list though.
