LocalAppData folder real and virtualized paths

Question

LocalAppData is virtualized for app converted by Desktop App Converter.

E.g. "real" LocalAppData location is:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local

While virtualized LocalAppData location is something like:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\MyApp_z4vxg0xscex6e\LocalCache\Local

Questions:

Is there a way to get the path to virtualized folder from DAC converted app (i.e. second "version")?
Is there a way to access non-virtualized LocalAppData folder from DAC converted app?

I encountered this issue developing a WPF app installed using MSIX.

I was able to resolve this issue by installing "Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts" Nuget Package which gave me access to

Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalCacheFolder

This property provides me with the full non virtualized path.
