Are all Universal Windows Platform APIs available to side-loaded apps?

Question

I have a vague recollection of reading somewhere in Microsoft's documentation (it might have been to do with BLE APIs), that some APIs are only available to apps downloaded from the Windows Store. I just searched again and can't find anything. Did I misremember or is this the case for some APIs?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any APIs that aren't available in a side-loaded application, but APIs from the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store for example may not function in a meaningful way (like ListingInformation wouldn't be useful).
