Not all .NET APIs are supported in UWP app. You could check .NET for UWP apps to see all supported .NET APIs in UWP.

In your case, you should be looking at: StreamSocketListener in Windows.Networking.Sockets Namespace . You could use StreamSocketListener to make a similar httplistener by yourself.
