Failed Win8 App Certification: 3.10 - If your app includes an ARM or a Neutral package it must support Microsoft Direct3D feature level 9_1

My C# app uses a C++ WinRT component I've written to get a list of system fonts using Direct X.

This is based on this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd756582(v=VS.85).aspx

My app is published in the store, but my latest update failed to pass the store review process on point 3.10 complaining about my use of Direct 3D and how this might not run on ARM tablets. As far as I know I'm not using Direct 3D and the only Direct X feature I'm using is GetSystemFontCollection.

How can I make sure I don't fail this requirement and do I need to remove some rogue reference in my component to Direct3D?

Also, why am I failing this now, when it passed before?

I submitted again and included a note to the tester explaining that my app didn't use any Direct 3D features, and I told them the exact DirectX function I did use.

I still failed, but the Direct3D reason was no longer one of the reasons.

Apparently my app is crashing, which was another failure reason the first time round, but I thought this must be related to the Direct3D problem. I can't reproduce the crash, but at least I now know that I can stop looking at my use of DirectX. This was a red herring.

Did you target all three platforms or choose any cpu in your release?

Does this page help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/apps/hh994923.aspx

It looks like you may have inadvertently requested a higher level.
