    What error exactly do you get?
    Prefabs and instantiating them works fine, but there are differences in .NET API on WSA compared to Mono platforms.

    I had to gut the code using System.Net in the PlayFabHTTP and fix several problems in the Json.Net library bundled with it so that my project would compile.

    Could you help me out? What exactly did you do?
    I commented out the the problematic part in PlayFabHTTP but i have no idea how to fix the Json.Net library...

    You need the other version of Json.Net.dll, the one compatible with Windows Store.

    The Json.Net included with PlayFab is the same one from the Asset Store.
    It has several implementations specific for Windows RT(-ish) platforms in the WinRT folder.
    It was just a matter of updating some of the conditional compilation checks to work on WSA.

    It is actually a subset of the one on the asset store. I was working with PlayFab to try to get a workable solution for them that would allow them to license a subset of JSON .NET specific to their implementation for their API but it's not perfect. The problems creep in with supporting newer versions of Unity and being able to selectively support IL2CPP vs Mono for some platforms and also for Windows 10 Universal applications which so far I've only been able to get completely working by using a precompiled DLL version. There also were some changes with the WinRT API (on the Unity side) that brought in some type extension features that previously didn't exist so it creates some errors.

    If you do have a license for JSON .NET for Unity from the asset store I can help you replace what is integrated with the PlayFab API with the full version and get it working.

    Thanks guys. But in the meantime I replaced PlayFab with GameSparks and they support Unity WinRT out of the box.
