Check if app runs on Simulator

Question

How can I check if a WinRT app runs inside the simulator?

For Windows Phone I use following piece of code:

    Boolean isOnEmulator 
            = (Microsoft.Devices.Environment.DeviceType == DeviceType.Emulator);

But I cannot find the solution fot WinRT.

You could try something like this:

bool isRemote = Windows.System.RemoteDesktop.InteractiveSession.IsRemote;

it will return true if it is on Simulator else false.
