Folks, a new cross-platform Xamarin project in VS2015 gives you projects including UWP and Windows Phone 8.1. I'm not sure which of these I should use to continue and develop an app that includes Windows phones as a target device. I'm not sure if the 8.1 Silverlight target is now obsolete and I should use the UWP project specifically configured for phone devices. To further confuse me, I'm not sure which generation of devices are support by which projects, so for example would a UWP target only work for very recent phones?
Can anyone clarify the relationship between the phone devices, their OSs and Xamarin project target types? Thanks *Greg K*
