Titanium SDK 5.0.0 Ant Deprecation: Timeline Unresolved
The 5.0.0 release made Gradle the default Android build tool, marking Ant support as deprecated. Projects still using Ant must run a migration script to generate Gradle build files, but the script does not cover custom Ant targets or non‑standard configurations.
Unresolved Decision
The SDK documentation indicates Ant will remain available but unsupported in upcoming major releases, yet no concrete removal schedule has been announced. This uncertainty affects long‑term planning for legacy projects and third‑party modules.
Key questions remain: When will Ant support be fully removed from future Titanium SDK releases? Will the migration tool be extended to cover custom Ant targets and non‑standard build logic?
