PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable() throws NotImplementedException even if IsPackageDeploymentFeatureSupported

[whiskhub]

Describe the bug

PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable() throws NotImplementedException even though PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageDeploymentFeatureSupported(PackageDeploymentFeature.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable) returns true.

Tested on Windows 11 24H2 (26100).

Note: it would be nice if on the docs page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.windows.management.deployment.packagedeploymentmanager.ispackagereadyorneweravailable the requirement to call PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageDeploymentFeatureSupported would be documented, together with a minimum supported OS version where this is expected to work.

Steps to reproduce the bug

var pdm = Microsoft.Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageDeploymentManager.GetDefault();
var isSupported = PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageDeploymentFeatureSupported(PackageDeploymentFeature.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable);
if (isSupported) 
{ 
    var isNewerAvailable = pdm.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable(Package.Current.Id.FullName); // throws System.NotImplementedException
}

Expected behavior

Method does not throw and API works as expected.

@DrusTheAxe was this one fixed for version 1.6.241114003 ? I'm seeing the exception with ResetPackageAsync https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/5031
