Purpose

Currently I just wanted a way to easily see what existed in the Issues section related to mobile. I want to go through this and validate what is currently valid and outdated to see what is needed to get mobile running.

The good news is a lot of these issues seem like they are either old and working or just not documented so this list will hopefully be easy to clean up.

I do not have an IOS device to properly test with so I will be unable to do any work with that but if someone else would like to test or validate any changes please do!
