WSAGetLastError does not pass Windows App Certification Kit Test

According to the WSAGetLastError() documentation, it is supported for Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1.

However, I am getting the following error from Windows App Certification Kit - Test Results:

-API WSAGetLastError in wsock32.dll is not supported for this application type

I am developing a Windows Store app in Windows 8.1.

Am I missing something?

Solution

  • This was because a wrong library (wsock32.lib) was linked.

    I had two libraries, wsock32.lib and Ws2_32.lib as input to my linker...:-( I removed wsock32.lib and it worked.
