Misc :

At present for JavaFX Oracle priority list is Desktop (Mac,windows,linux) and Embedded (Raspberry Pi, beagle Board etc) .For iOS/android oracle done most of the hardwork and opnesourced javafxports of these platforms as part of OpenJFX ,but there is no JVM from oracle for ios/android.Community is putting all together by filling missing piece(JVM) for ios/android,Community made good progress in running JavaFX on ios (RoboVM) / android(DalvikVM). If you want you can also contribute to the community by sponsoring (Become a RoboVM sponsor) or start developing apps and report issues.
