The technical questions should be directed to the mobile apps team - Monte, Brion, Dan et al.
My impression is that it simply pulls the description for the item from Wikidata, if a description is available and there's not fallback, but I might be wrong.

I haven't seen this mentioned in the context of Wikidata yet, so here: The latest beta version of the Wikipedia app for iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) shows descriptions from Wikidata as summaries in the search results.
Interesting; screenshots appreciated. How does it cooperate with TextExtracts? Does it also do crosswiki searches, like wdsearch? Users and wikis interested in such functionality should install it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Wdsearch.js
