You need to declare that the xBlock's student_view has multi-device support, as described in BlockRendering: Web, Responsive, and Native <https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EDUCATOR/pages/29688043/Course+Blocks+API#CourseBlocksAPI-BlockRendering:Web,Responsive,andNative> .
As an example, see the drag-n-drop xBlock's student view <https://github.com/edx-solutions/xblock-drag-and-drop-v2/blob/8c6ba95b5eccb7a6c9a7e860ddd1e19cef82ab10/drag_and_drop_v2/drag_and_drop_v2.py#L256-L257> .
