I want to have a class library that will run under WinRT and also Windows Phone 8. What do I need to do?
To do that, you need to build your class library as a Portable Class Library, which creates an assembly that will run on multiple platforms. (Otherwise, assemblies for WinRT and Windows Phone 8 are essentially non-interchangeable.)
Visual Studio 2012 includes a project type that will let you do this easily; there is also a downloadable toolset that will let do this on VS 2010.
The framework functionality available is limited to a subset of that which is available on all of the platforms you are supporting.
