Nope, you didn't :) At this time, you can just stick to 3.8 and keep your
app interface (no overlaying on the actionBar, everything looks like iOS6),
or upgrade to 3.9 and mess around with simulations (paddingTop on the
actionBar to avoid overlapping, and using your code for backgrounds). But
at this time, I've been too lazy to revamp the my whole app interface with
"if (iOS7) {....}" :)

Maybe you could try to submit your code for Apache next SDK release (in
case it's not already supported), so we all could benefit of an iOS7
compliant UI out of the box ;)

I don't understand.  
IOS7 new look is not in SDK 3.9.
It has yet to be simulated with new flex skins in the flex sdk.
Did I miss something ?

Well, I think it's only worth testing on iOS, unless Android decides to copy Apple back in the next OS round ;) (god forbid ;)

If I ever decide to upgrade to SDK 3.9 and finally embrace the iOS "new"
look, I'll check it for sure ;) Love when things are done with just 40 lines of code ;)

Cheers! :)

Well, I think it's only worth testing on iOS, unless Android decides to
copy Apple back in the next OS round ;) (god forbid ;)

Cheers Javier,

Thanks for the kind words.

I still haven't got round to buying my Apple developer's licence and I
don't have any Android devices in the house - so, I've only tried it on my
iMac so far.

Congrats simon, real perfect visual match! :) And really elegant source
code, AND really elegant demo, BTW :)

Have you checked performance on real devices? What are the numbers on
"small" processors?
