Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current works for any packaged app, it doesn't require AC, Windows.Management.Core.ApplicationDataManager.CreateForPackageFamily is for accessing app data for other packages

Stumbled on this old comment while helping someone and want to clarify:
- Packaged applications running in AppContainer should use
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData. - Packaged applications not running in AppContainer (e.g., runFullTrust) can use
Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataManageror classical methods. Do not useWindows.Storage.ApplicationData. - Unpackaged applications should stick to classical methods.

@riverar but Windows.Storage.ApplicationData should work for packaged apps not using AC too, I remember trying it when I made that comment and it was working

Yeah, it'll only work in some scenarios on a best-effort (not guaranteed) basis; Microsoft has confirmed it's not designed for use outside AC. Just wanted to leave a note to prevent folks from wondering why this is a high-crash API when they roll out to production. 😅

ApplicationData APIs comparable to those in namespaces Windows.Storage and Windows.Management.Core but with additional functionality, improved developer experience and performance optimizations.
