Erik and I have started working on the skins. I have made quite a bit of enhancements to the way mobile skinning is done as part of the Android 4.x skins. So, following that pattern for iOS7/8, would make things much faster.
The first component I will be working on would Button. I will tackle ButtonBar after that. Once that is in place, we will have a couple of reference components for others to follow. The wiki page at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=46633747 has been updated to reflect this. Aaron, if you can work on SpinnerList and TextInput (like you did for the Android 4.x skins) that would be awesome. Mahmoud, please let me know which components you would want to start with.
