How to port this to be compatible with Windows 8 Builds?

using (var outfile = new StreamWriter(Application.persistentDataPath + "/save.sav", false))
            outfile.Write(serializedObject);

         string _loadData = "";
            using (var outfile = new StreamReader(Application.persistentDataPath + "/save.sav", false))
                _loadData = outfile.ReadLine();

Any suggestions?

Try this:

    string savePath = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "save.sav");

#if !UNITY_WINRT
    using (var outfile = new StreamWriter(savePath, false))
        outfile.Write(serializedObject);
#else
    var bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(serializedObject);
    UnityEngine.Windows.File.WriteAllBytes(savePath, bytes);
#endif

    string savePath = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "save.sav");
    string _loadData = "";

#if !UNITY_WINRT
    using (var outfile = new StreamReader(savePath, false))
        _loadData = outfile.ReadToEnd();
#else
    var bytes = UnityEngine.Windows.File.ReadAllBytes(savePath);
    _loadData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
#endif

Another option (in Unity 5.0) is to use StreamReader and StreamWriter from WinRTLegacy. It would be like this:

#if NETFX_CORE
using StreamReader = WinRTLegacy.IO.StreamReader;
using StreamWriter = WinRTLegacy.IO.StreamWriter;
#else
using StreamReader = System.IO.StreamReader;
using StreamWriter = System.IO.StreamWriter;
#endif

I think in Tautvydas example you should use NETFX_CORE instead of UNITY_WINRT

Hi Aurimas!
I tried your code but I got :

Error 44 The type or namespace name ‘IO’ oes not exist in the namespace ‘WinRTLegacy’. (are you missing an assembly reference?

Tautvydas - Your code compiles! I will try it! Thanks!

As I mentioned, my example was for Unity 5, it’s not yet available in 4.5
