A few development questions

Hello,
I have a few issues/questions I encountered during app development:
- I need a chat-like function, and thus proper user-input elements. Doing this through a pop-up, like we currently do for log-in, is not an option there in my opinion. I have seen the Native UI plug-in (which is Android-only right?) and the Hot Wax plug-in (iOs only). However, how would I go about supporting both Android and iOs? I can understand that those two might need different code at the moment, but how can I even detect which platform the app is being run on?
- Is there any event(handler) for when a user rotates his screen so I can re-render the view?
Thanks for replying,
-Vincent

Still, what about device rotation?
also about rotation, unfortunately there is no event currently and Application class will only give whats set in project settings. Previously all apps mostly had only one single orientation (as for most of the games, that was enough), but it is definitely something that should be considered implementing
about IOS bridge, there was some issues I can not remember now, will have to go through the code and see, maybe there was already something usable.
