It is an interesting thought to also use the native layout system on each platform. It might be challenging to provide an abstraction for the native layout that behaves consistently on all platforms, though.

Can you elaborate on why you feel AutoLayout support is needed? If Boden had a layout system of comparable power, would that solve this issue?

That's simply how most apps are designed these days, since it makes it easy to support the ever-growing list of device sizes that iOS apps need to support.

Sure, but you might need to keep in mind that iOS developers are used to using AutoLayout and need to learn how to do things in your new layout system.
