If the BrowserComponent itself (rendering, updating, Javascript) would not 
have issues on the real iOS app (native build) like they exist on the 
simulator, I wonder whether also these layout  issues are automatically 
happening on the real iOS app.
Unfortunately iOS builds are "costly" in terms of credits, I cannot use 
them to test the layout and the BrowserComponent. Furthermore Chrome 
mirroring for debugging does not work, I see a blank screen.
