Yes the SDK. That is the part that remains, asides bindings to 
the APIs. Much work has gone into iOS and Android but still more 
remains to actually use it for everyday apps. Ubuntu on the other 
hand is just straight forward. As I mentioned earlier, QML 
binding is done (dqml), remaining API bindings and integration 
into the SDK.

That's my point, write one app and sell it to users of phones, 
phables, tablet, PC, IoT, etc. No change of code. Everything is 
handled by the Adaptive Layout.
