Checking Windows Store apps on ARM Simulator

Question

Hi

I don't have ARM devices like Surface RT available in my country now, Is there any way to test my app on ARM Simulator from Visual Studio.

Answer 1

I have the same problem.

It would be nice even just to have a rough guide as to CPU & GPU power relative to x86. 

I would like to see MS (or someone) provide a benchmark suite with different types of common algorithms and UI interactions, with results for different platforms (right through to lowest common denominator). This would at least allow us to make a rough guess at how our apps will perform on ARM.

But yes there should have been an ARM simulator in there from day one.

Hope someone from MS will reply? How are we supposed to submit our apps to the Store as running on ARM if we have no idea HOW they will run?
