Strings should be stored using UTF-8. Can you provide a concrete example of the problem you are encountering?

Ok. I've taken a look at the codegen and it is producing UTF-16 to be compatible with the Java layer. I'll need to adjust the iOS side to be able to parse the UTF-16 and convert it into UTF-8 for compatibility with the iOS libraries.

OK. In this aia test you can see 2 issues more:
1-The vertical-center alignement screen for the label not runs.
2-The font size labels not runs.

Other question @ewpatton :
Can I use the ActivityStarter with only the android.intent.action.VIEW in the iOS platform?

Ok. It is with a workaround for iOS. In Android is not necesary the arrangement to have the same result. For me is a issue in iOS vs Android. I have solved several more iOS issues with workarounds.

There is a space at the end:

Of course, and there are many more. But as long as there are simple and uncomplicated workarounds, we should come to terms with it in order to FINALLY (after so many years) get a build server that can also be used to publish apps in the Apple AppStore. If we want to wait until even the smallest discrepancy has been resolved, we will most likely NEVER experience it.
