With this StackTrace : at System.StubHelpers.StubHelpers.GetCOMIPFromRCW_WinRT(Object objSrc, IntPtr pCPCMD, IntPtr& ppTarget) at Windows.System.Profile.HardwareIdentification.GetPackageSpecificToken(IBuffer nonce) at Plugin.DeviceInfo.DeviceInfoImplementation.get_Id()

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

I ask for the CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Id at multiple times in the OnLaunched method of App.xaml.cs

(i resolved by stocked the id the first time now but i get this back to you if it can help you to improve this awesome plugin ^^)
