You need to add Windows Mobile Extensions for the UWP and use the following code:

if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.Phone.Management.Deployment.InstallationManager"))
{
    var packages = Windows.Phone.Management.Deployment.InstallationManager.FindPackages();
    foreach (var package in packages)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(package.DisplayName);
    }
}

But this code requires ID_CAP_OEM_DEPLOYMENT. As I know from msdn

I would assume that you would require a company certificate and would have to sign your Apps with that certificate in order for those permissions to work.

Yes - you need to be specifically whitelisted by Microsoft to do this.
