There are some issues filed on the issue tracker about the new CEF BrowserComponent.
At present time the BC is unusable because of bad interaction that can lead to blocking or simulator crashes.
I would like to know if those issues are also on the native builds.
I mean, if I develop some code that has issues on the simulator, is the same on the real iOS device?
Is the CEF BC just for the simulator or it is compiled against the native code too?
Thanks in advance

CEF was specifically introduced to replace JavaFX for the Simulator(JavaSE), and even though it's buggy at the moment, I don't think it will have any impact on other platforms. However, I'm not sure about Windows and Mac Apps builds that use Java Packager.

Correct. This has no impact on device builds. Even desktop builds haven't migrated to CEF yet (for better and worse). When we do migrate the desktop builds we'll provide easy migration flags.
