UWP Mobile Run WACK test for mobile app - mobile

I am new to Windows app development. I am building a C# app targeting UWP desktop & mobile platforms. I have read these links MSDN-Link 1 & MSDN-Link 2
Both these links doesnt seem to talk anything about running WACK tests for mobile. Any useful info will be highly appreciated.

I am building a C# app targeting UWP desktop & mobile platforms.
WACK test is now enabled for the UWP workflows, there is no need to care the device platform, whether your app runs on desktop or mobile does not change UWP workflows, you can directly publish your app to store after WACK test for UWP app is finished.

Web Portal with Desktop/Mobile Version. What are recommendations?

I am thinking develop a web portal with a desktop. This portal will be used in mobile phones and as one of its requirements is to work offline and when you are online, synchronize data, I think it must be a native version for Android and iOS. What is the framework that advise to develop one application and generate an Android application and other iOS?
The idea is to try to enjoy the same logic of development for desktop and mobile. I have experience with AngularJS but do not know whether it will help in the mobile.

which mobile gis application developing is better for me

i want to develop a mobile app with this features:
1-work offline on mobile and don't need to internet(disconnect mode)
2-can import layers to it in public extensions(shape file,personal geodatabase,kml)
3-can edit layers
3-have some forms and fields that fill by mobile user and save in database
i think android is better platform for developing my app,so i need a gis service that can extend in android
i know arcgis and developed web apps and desktop apps with that before,but in mobile app developping, i can't use it,because i had to use arcgisonline service to host my layers and i don't want share my map and want to host data locally and offline
let me know what i need and what platform i choose and which is better
thanks in advance......
The ArcGIS Android API is a good choice. Esri have a sample offline app available for download. We have used Mobile Flex, since we have clients who want both iOS and Android solutions. It uses ArcGIS Online but could only use local files if needed. See a demo here:

mobile emulators during development

Currently developing an mvc4 applications that will need to be optimized for mobile devices etc.
As I develop within visual studio, I would like to be able to test how the site is viewed on an iphone/android same as I can check it on a desktop browser.
Any emulators that come recommended for this?
You can use Android Emulator from google, it comes with Android SDK.
Some sample/simple sites exists which emulates iPhone, like this:

Which browsers & databases supported by phonegap

Which browsers are supported in phone gap & which databases are supported by phone gap ?
Straight from Phonegap website -
PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to author native
applications with web technologies and get access to APIs and app
stores.
What this means is it is not browser dependent. The code compiles to native application. You don't need a browser to run it.

Silverlight: How to deploy a Silverlight app?

I've just written a Silverlight app and want to deploy it. This app is NOT to be hosted at a website. It is supposed to be a standalone app, just like a standalone WPF app for Windows, but (if I understand Silverlight correctly) it can run on both Windows and Mac.
I've created a .xap file. What do I do with this file to get the app installed? Thanks.
You do need to install it from a website as it still requires the Silverlight environment provided by the browser plugin.
It is the browser plugin that provides the OOB (Out Of Browser) mode.
I gather Adobe Air has the same requirements for apps.
In addition to what #HiTech Magic stated, you can also create a standalone installer for silverlight OOB apps using SLLauncher.exe.
