Specific configuration for Ad Hoc builds – TiDev
Both dist-appstore and dist-adhoc builds set deploy-type to production. In Alloy, this will trigger production-specific code in controllers, views, styles and config.json to be included. There is a ticket requesting a directive that would allow to also code for a specific distribution method, which is currently set to be fixed in Alloy 1.4. Use case This new directive would not make much sense in
Automated acceptance testing with Travis – TiDev
When it comes to maintain or extend an existing mobile application, there is one thing you want to ensure at any price: your changes should not break the existing working product. In other words, you should avoid any kind of regression. This is what automated acceptance stands for. Test things before it’s too late Nowadays and especially with framework like Titanium, you can build an app really qu
The case against Ti.App.fireEvent – TiDev
In code-reviews I see a lot of people using Ti.App.fireEvent() and Ti.App.addEventListener() to fire and listen to custom events. This is often used to send instructions between different parts of the app that have no direct reference of each other. Because everyting has access to global objects like Ti.App, it’s indeed easy to use it as a global event dispatcher. However, there are 2 good reasons
Cleaning up Alloy controllers – TiDev
Following up my blog on The case against Ti.App.fireEvent I wanted to share another tip on properly cleaning up Alloy controllers. If you want to make sure your controller, its view and models are properly cleaned up when you don’t need them anymore there’s 2 best practices I’d like to share. 1. Don’t create references to controller instances A common practice is to create a controller for every w
Transitioning to iOS8 and Xcode 6 with Titanium – TiDev
iOS8 is finally with us, and with it, an updated XCode and two new iPhones with new screen sizes. This is awesome (obviously) but if like me, you’re in the middle of projects that aren’t iPhone 6 / iOS8 ready then you need to be able to do builds for both the iOS7 and iOS8 SDK – preferably without having to run multiple development environments. Luckily, it is possible to do this. (at this point I
Translating NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription – TiDev
iOS 8 introduces 2 new Info.plist keys to explain the user why you (even in background) need access to his location. From iOS 4 through 7, this was done in run-time using the Ti.Geolocation.purpose property. Multilingual apps Now this has moved to the static Info.plist – which in Titanium you’d normally set in the tiapp.xml‘s ios > plist section – you might wonder how to set a specific text for ea
Mobile Workflow: Appcelerator Titanium | TiDev
This is a guest-blog by Flavio De Stefano from Caffeina, originally posted in Italian on their own blog. Thank you Flavio for translating, updating and sharing this with us! Since we started working with Titanium here at Caffeina, we have seen it evolving so fast that, after a year of fulfilled projects, this framework doesn’t look quite the same anymore. As the development went on, we collected s
How to use Apple’s new TestFlight beta testing – TiDev
After it’s quiet acquisition by Apple early this year, TestFlight has now been fully integrated in iTunes Connect. In this guest blog, Nick den Engelsman shows you how to distribute your Titanium apps via TestFlight. How it should work Create AppStore build Upload to iTunes connect Turn on TestFlight beta testing for your build For me this didn’t work out of the box. When I uploaded my build to iT
Ti.Connect roundup – TiDev
Over 400 people gathered in Atlanta this weekend for Connect.js / Ti.Connect to talk JavaScript for web (front-end), server and apps. Titanium was well presented by several international Titans and Appcelerator staff, including CEO Jeff Haynie. TiDev didn’t provide any live coverage, but you can find the slides and recordings of all sessions here, as well as links to the speakers on Twitter: Also
How to use expressions in TSS – TiDev
As the docs state Alloy’s TSS files use a JSON-like syntax. It’s no pure JSON, since there’s no root {} and blocks don’t need to (but can be) separated with ,. What you can You’re also allowed to use a limited number of special types of values, being: JSON values, that is, Strings, Numbers, Objects, Array, Booleans and null undefined to unset a property (do not place undefined in quotes) (since Al
tiConf Singapore 2014 roundup – TiDev
While last weekend’s tiConf Singapore might have been one of the smaller Titanium conferences this year, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. We had no live coverage, but I hope videos will be made available soon. Personally I’m particularly interested in the keynote by Director of R&D Russel McMahon and Jae Lee’s talk about Plot Projects. If you have any additions, mail them to mail@tidev.io. Talk (
Versioning builds and releases – TiDev
When I was playing with Apple’s new TestFlight I ran into the issue of conflicting build versions I’m sure you’re all familiar with: This bundle is invalid. The key CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously uploaded version. Before TestFlight, iTunes Connect let you re-use the same build version after the previous one was rejected by either yo
New Facebook Modules – TiDev
In this guest blog, Mark Mokryn introduced us to his new Facebook modules for Titanium. Appcelerator’s Facebook modules haven’t been updated for a long time, partly because the newer SDKs couldn’t simply be dropped into the Titanium wrapper modules but needed lots of adjustments. Mark just got several PRs accepted for Titanium 3.5.0 to make it easier to use third-part SDKs as-is. But using his pri
Desktop apps for offline Titanium Documentation – TiDev
Dash I’ve been using Dash for offline (hotkey) access to the API Documentation, but for the Guides I still needed to open the browser and wait for JSDuck to download and parse the 12MB of data. Nightly docs This morning I was checking out the nightly build of the Titanium 3_4_X branch to see if TIMOB-18088 was correctly resolved to handle the new iOS certificate names. For the first time, I notice
Positioning a Toast notification on the top half of the screen – TiDev
Android Toasts are great for providing simple feedback to the user, without blocking his interaction with the current view/window. In Titanium you can use Ti.UI.Notification to create a Toast: Ti.UI.createNotification({ message: "Please Stand By", duration: Ti.UI.NOTIFICATION_DURATION_LONG }).show(); Positioning the notification The Android API guides explain how to use setGravity(gravity, xOffset
A new year, a new tiDev! – TiDev
Just a little over a year ago I welcomed you all to tiDev with the following vision: TiDev is a new independent blog bringing news, rumors, tips & tricks, reviews and more on Appcelerator’s Titanium platform and Alloy framework for building cross platform native apps. Evaluating our first year Instead of celebrating our first anniversary, I’ve been evaluating the past year with some of tiDev’s aut
gitTio adds support for Titaniumifier – TiDev
Titaniumifier is a tool to convert a CommonJS package including all its dependencies into a single-file Titanium CommonJS module, ready to be installed via Titanium Studio or the gitTio CLI. Starting today, gitTio now indexes Titaniumified modules and the new 0.5.2 CLI will allow you to install them like any other Titanium module, including dependencies the module might depend on. List of already
How to re-use the launch image in the app – TiDev
Or: How to replicate Twitter’s animated launch image For some time I’ve been wanting to demonstrate how to re-use your app’s launch image later on in the app. As a use case I picked Twitter’s seamless transition from a static to an animated launch image. Over the holidays I finally found some time to give it a go. While creating the example I ran into several bugs I will also share the workarounds
How to update your app and modules for 64-bit support – TiDev
With the Titanium 3.5.0 release expected to come out early next week, you’ll be just in time to build your iOS apps with 64-bit support. While updates on existing apps won’t be required to include 64-bit until June 1, this new requirement will be enforced for new apps starting February 1. Modules also need to include 64-bit support While Appcelerator has done a great job updating their SDK and mod
How to try the Titanium Windows Platform Preview (for free) – TiDev
Appcelerator recently presented a preview of Titanium for Windows (native), based on the new Titanium core HAL that will power Titanium 4.x or Ti.Next. Like iOS apps, Windows apps can only be build on a Windows PC. Most Titanium developers use a Mac since Android apps can be build on both platforms. This how to aims to give a simple, minimal recipe to give the preview a try on a Mac with minimal h
