<Grid>
    <Image x:Name="LoadingImage"
        Stretch="Fill" 
           Source="ms-appdata:///Resources.Universal/Resources/ChangableFiles/Default/LoadingImage.png" />

Use ms-appx: instead of ms-appdata: and make sure you have access to directory where the image is stored.

You can use Assets directory to store the images and easily use it in the code.

For e.g: Source="ms-appx:///Assets/LoadingImage.png" />

You can't. The only way you could possibly do it if you had set the broadFileSystemAccess in the manifest, then loaded the image from the file system path in the code behind and assigned it (or something similar from the view model).

But just to note that on Microsoft Store it is almost certain that your app will be denied to use broadFileSystemAccess if this is the reason to ask for it.
