Problems saving to My Pictures in Windows Universal build

Hi,

We would like our app to be able to save screenshots to the user's pictures folder on Windows 10.

Here's the line of code that is having problems:

string systemPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures);

Here's the error message we get in our build (in the Editor, it works without issue):

UnauthorizedAccessException: Failed getting the path of a special folder: Access Denied.

We're using the IL2CPP backend. When we try using .NET 4.6 for the API compatibility level, we start getting errors similar to this one https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/wsa-xmlserializerexception-thrown-when-running-the-il2cpp-build

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to work around this?

Thanks!
