Directory.GetFiles not working in UWP app

I need a recursive list of all files and folders at a path. However, in UWP only these (Windows 10 Universal App File/Directory Access) files and folders can be accessed and I dont want the user to pick a file. So I tried using Directory.GetFiles method and this is not returning any file names without giving any error. Does this method work at all in UWP?

We cannot access any local storage without user interaction. However, we can access known folders by adding capabilities in app manifest and adding declaration for file type associations.
