I think it was intentional that GetForUnpackaged() isn't available.
It was stated in the pull request: #4057

vFuture (ApplicationDataContract v2, vFuture)
GetForUnpackaged() backed by an unpackaged variant of M.W.S.ApplicationData.cpp + M.W.S.ApplicationDataContainer.cpp

+1

P.S. That's why it's marked with contract version 2 and a feature attribute (aka experimental)

        [feature(Feature_ApplicationData)]
        [contract(ApplicationDataContract, 2)]
        static ApplicationData GetForUnpackaged(String publisher, String product);

Preview and stable builds omit experimental features.

Thank you @DrusTheAxe
but, can we use it in v1.6 version? in next preview or stable release?

GetForUnpackaged? If you call that you get E_NOTIMPL. That's not expected to change in 1.6.

But the rest of the API? Yeah, that's in 1.6, modulo create/remove the MachineFolder on package un/install if you declare you want a MachineFolder in your manifest. There's a bug I'm working on to enable that for 1.6. Today you can call .MachineFolder() but the dir's not created for you on install (or removed on uninstall). It will be, once I complete the bug I'm working on as we speak :-)
