Automatic skins selection

The Flex SDK will detect the O/S type (iOS vs. Android) and the version of the O/S and display the correct skins during runtime. The skins will automatically be applied based on the detected O/S and version.

Although the skins show up on the mobile device, you will not be able to see them on the AIR Simulator because the AIR Simulator does not set a O/S Version. To see the iOS7+ and Android 4+ skins on the AIR Simulator, follow these steps.
