WP8 : is a WVGA app auto scaled for WXGA or 720P?

I've developed and submitted a WP 8 app. it's a cocos2Dx game. I can test it on my device (WVGA) but the simulators (ex: WXGA) don't work on my PC.

I only checked "WVGA" in the WMAppManifest.xml as I can't test the other resolutions

so in the store, it is written : "App requires WVGA (480x800)"

question : is the app available and does it work (with a kind of auto scale) on devices with other resolutions ? (ex: WXGA)

It depends on what you selected in WMAppManifest.xml. At the bottom of the application settings you will find supported resolutions. Tick all three and your app will automatically work on all supported resolutions.

WVGA and WXGA share the same aspect ratio of 15:9, but 720p is slightly taller and uses aspect ration of 16:9.
