It is difficult to create an application that will work on all OS.
Its not impossible though - a web page could be an example.

You cannot build "cross-platform" applications with WPF.

The point is that you will run this program different hardware with lots of differences e.g. size screens, memory etc when you talk about phone development.
Thus, those become serious constants as well.

So like for every platform i have to make different applications..??

Not always necessary. You can build a single application for a group of systems.
However, this is never easy and you could loose out on features.
