Hi there,

Firstly, check below link for creating and configuring metadata used for win8 app,

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tailoringappsfordevices/thread/05defdcd-1658-41cb-8d77-235ecfd194db

 after you finished configuration, you will find a folder named multiloc is generated in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataCache\dmrccache, and in folder multiloc, a
folder same name with metadata is generated, open SoftwareInfo.xml in folder Software, you will notice a Privileged app is listed under PrivilegedApplications session, which means only app listed in this session can access a device interface class

<PrivilegedApplications>
    <Package>
      <Identity Name="1e89da88-7d5a-49ba-a2f9-e1bab36481c9" Publisher="CN=c00129878" AccessCustomDriver="true" />
    </Package>
  </PrivilegedApplications>

and check this post: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tailoringappsfordevices/thread/a7e7ae52-c21d-47d1-a0d9-3fb09c9cc608/

"Only one app can be listed in the metadata."
