How to get AssemblyInformations

In my AssemblyInfo.cs file, I have attributes like:

   [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]
   [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright ©  2015")]

Now i want to get this informations in my OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e) Method in my App.xaml.cs.

When I search for this in the internet and on SO I always solutions like:

   System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
   FileVersionInfo fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
   string version = fvi.FileVersion;

But this doesn´t work for Windows 10. So is there something similar for Windows 10?

Edit:
I am developing an Windows 10 UWP application.

You can find attributes using this code:

var currentAsembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
var customAttributes = currentAssembly.CustomAttributes;

CustomAttributes is IEnumerable object of available atttributes among them you can find information abut assembly and file version

Edit:

Here is complete code: 

var currentAssembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly; 
var customAttributes = currentAssembly.CustomAttributes; 
var list = customAttributes.ToList(); 
var res = list[0]; 
var result = list.FirstOrDefault(x => x.AttributeType.Name == "AssemblyFileVersionAttribute"); 
var ver = result.ConstructorArguments[0].Value;

If you need to get information about app version in general, you can use Package.Current property.

using Windows.ApplicationModel;

Package package = Package.Current;
PackageId packageId = package.Id;
PackageVersion version = packageId.Version;

String output = String.Format(
               "Name: \"{0}\"\n" +
               "Version: {1}.{2}.{3}.{4}\n" +
               "Architecture: {5}\n" +
               "ResourceId: \"{6}\"\n" +
               "Publisher: \"{7}\"\n" +
               "PublisherId: \"{8}\"\n" +
               "FullName: \"{9}\"\n" +
               "FamilyName: \"{10}\"\n" +
               "IsFramework: {11}",
               packageId.Name,
               version.Major, version.Minor, version.Build, version.Revision,
               packageId.Architecture,
               packageId.ResourceId,
               packageId.Publisher,
               packageId.PublisherId,
               packageId.FullName,
               packageId.FamilyName,
               package.IsFramework);
