I have a already existing app for windows phone 8 but now I want to make a universal app for the same so that it can run on both windows phone and windows 8. I read about this on internet a lot but still I am confused that if a make a universal windows app will it be able to run on windows phone 8 and windows 8 as the most of the tutorials are confusing as they talk only about windows phone 8.1 and windows 8.1. Can anyone please help me on this whether this is possible or not ?
