Question

Does anyone know if the Windows 8 Phone emulator uses ARM or x86 for it's CPU architecture?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It's indeed a x86 virtualization. ARM is only for devices. Inhouse or 3rd party native components need to be build for the both architectures, if you want to test on the emulator.

OTHER TIPS

Emulator is x86, devices are ARM.
