Issue

According to documentation "context.applicationObject.createDocument" should return the "Document" object but with the latest version of Office.js API it's return "DocumentCreated"object. I want to use "getFileAsync" method after creating in memory document but I am not able to find "getFileAsync" on "DocumentCreated" object.

The documentation is erroneous. We are in the process of moving to a new reference documentation system. When that goes live in the next few weeks, the method description will correctly say that it returns a DocumentCreated object. The DocumentCreated object does not have a getFileAsync method. You may be thinking of the Document object in the Shared Office APIs (https://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/shared/document) which does have a getFileAsync.
