Bug Description

The current state with Ubuntu.Application being available only on arm, causes troubles when building applications on x86 and force each application developer to wrap it in a Loader to make it fail gracefully when running the applications on x86.

The component should be available on all platforms to eliminate that problem. If the Loader workaround is the proposed solution, it should be at least hidden inside the component for the platform dependent stuff to ease up app development.

Yes, its still valid. We have a very ugly workaround in all the apps, but still this should be fixed properly in ubuntu-platform-api.

Can someone confirm that if it has been identified that the bug is in ubuntu-platform-api, then why has been assigned to the toolkit?

I don't think this is still valid. Does the Ubuntu.Application import still exist?
