I need to open "app chooser"
not default application
Is it possible on wp8?

your code only open a audio player(default application):
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);

You may want to have a look at the windows version and see if you can pass in a parameter like the windows version.

Windows allows you to supply options like so

var options = new Windows.System.LauncherOptions();
options.displayApplicationPicker = true;

Then you call it using this

Windows.System.Launcher.launchFileAsync(file, options)

@Gillardo i need open a audio, then "app chooser" and choose WhatsApp

this doesn't work on wp 8.1:
options.displayApplicationPicker = true;

with audio file this opens audio player app (default app)
doesn't open "app chooser"

any suggestion?
Thanks

Have u got more than 1 audio app installed on the device?

I use it with pdf files and it gives me options of all pdf viewers

Also what are you passing in as the "file" parameter? Just the file name, or the whole file path?

What extension have the audio files got? Are they compatible with the audio apps you have installed? Can you try it with a PDF file to confirm that you see the chooser then?

I believe that the WP8 version also requires the "whole" file path too. Maybe this is your issue?

I think there is a misconception about what this plugin does here :)
This plugin launches a file you are trying to open in one of the applications already registered as player/opener/launcher of that particular file type. So the subsequent "App Chooser" dialog in different platforms is not an all-in dialog box to open any kind of file in any randomly selected app on the device. It only shows those apps which already registered themselves as being capable of opening/playing/launching that file type.

@escolhatecnologia is trying to open an audio file in Whatsapp. But Whatsapp is obviously not an audio player :) That is why I really think you should look into other kind of plugins, something that can "send" or "share" your file with other apps. In Android world, it's called ACTION_SEND intent which gives you a dialog like:

Is there any equivalent of Android's ACTION_SEND intent in WP8?
