Hi Ishani,

Phone is for Phones, tablet is for tablets. Tablet app uses a Master-Detail page that splits your app. After you click an Item, a selected page will be opened but you still can see app menu. Image

Ishani,

Phone apps do work on tablets. Please note every device has its specific features. If an app in particular requests a feature that is not present, then problems can appear.

In final app, there is an XML file called Manifest, which lays down the minimum hardware requirements for the app.

You'll be able to define what devices can see your app in the Store.
