Description

Overview: The children property of a Ti.UI.window is never null on Android where iOS it can be. Explanation: var win = Ti.UI.createWindow(); On iOS win.children will be 'null'. On Android, it will not be null. An Android developer can check: `win.children[0]' to see if it's null. However this will throw an error in iOS since it's really null and not an array.

       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: 'white' });
   
   Ti.API.info('win.children: ' + win.children[0]);
   
   win.open();
    Tested the code on the iOS simulator and on a Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.1GA. Here is the console output for both devices: "win.children: undefined". Expected behavior, ticket closed.
