Dear UI designers: artwork cannot always go to the edge.
In the vast sea of possible devices, the edge will always be an unpredictable distance away, with possible variance of many thousands of pixels. It may be much closer or further than the mockups accounted for, and stretching artwork to that edge may not be practical or possible.
Have a plan for what it looks like when you don't have an edge available, and hand that plan to the developer implementing the design, please.
