What type of gestures or other controls do Windows Phone 8 apps typically use for deletion?

Question

I'm an iOS developer who uses an Android device who has recently started Windows Phone 8 development. I have a LongListSelector in a Pivot control, and I want to give users the ability to delete items from the LongListSelector.

What type of gestures and other controls do Windows Phone 8 apps usually use to delete items?

On iOS it's typical to swipe to remove an item from a list (not applicable in this situation due to the Pivot) and on Android it's typical to long-press to show a delete button in a context menu (in addition to the swipe-to-remove also used in iOS).

Are there equivalent gestures or conventions used in Windows Phone 8 apps?

Context menu:

1. Hold on item
2. Show context menu with delete command
3. Tap delete command to remove item

Selection:

2. Show delete button in application bar when in selection mode
3. Tap on delete button to remove items

Alternative: Button in application bar for selection mode / show selection checkboxes
