UWP App GpioController.GetDefault() always returns null

What can be the reason that in my App GpioController.GetDefault() always returns null? The app is running on a RPI3b (as other Apps have done before.... never ran into this?!)



var gpioController = GpioController.GetDefault();
// gpio controller is null ... why?!
ServiceContainer.Instance.Register(new IO(gpioController));;

          Found the issue. It was in Windows IoT configuration itself. There is a "default controller driver" in the devices tab. It was set to a DMA driver. Changing it to "Inbox driver" and rebooting the Pi solved the problem.

            If you want to use the DMA driver which offers better performances, you need to activate/declare it to the API before querying the GpioControleler



            // This needs the following capabilities
            // <iot:Capability Name="lowLevelDevices" />
            // <DeviceCapability Name="109b86ad-f53d-4b76-aa5f-821e2ddf2141"/>
            if (LightningProvider.IsLightningEnabled)
            {
            LowLevelDevicesController.DefaultProvider = LightningProvider.GetAggregateProvider();
            }

            var gpioController = GpioController.GetDefault();
            // gpioController is valid
