A convoluted sentence structure

The original WAP model served pages in WML. WML was based on the concept of documents known as “decks”, with data in each deck structured into one or more “cards” (pages) – each of which represents a single interaction with the user. With the advent of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design and mobile first approaches the challenges of resizing and adapting content have led to the concept of decks and cards to be recycled.

I can't understand why "mobile first approaches" is used as the object of "With."
So, I'd like to know what way the underlined sentence is structured in.

  • It is hard to understand.
  • e.
  • approaches to design that focus primarily on mobile devices.
  • A comma after "approaches" would also be helpful.

I think it's reasonable to argue that it's adverbial.
