Native Toolchain Integration Appcelerator Titanium relies on a bridge layer to map JavaScript API calls to native platform implementations. The build process utilizes platform-specific toolchains, such as Xcode for iOS and Gradle for Android, to compile these binaries based on the settings defined in ti.app and ti.app-config . When integrating custom native
Symptom When building a Titanium project with the CLI, the build process frequently picks the most recently installed SDK even though the project’s tiapp.xml specifies a different <sdk-version> . This leads to build failures on CI pipelines that expect a stable, pinned SDK. Constraints & Uncertainties The SDK Manager can install multiple SDKs, but
When upgrading a Titanium app’s SQLite database, the primary goal is to modify the schema while keeping all existing indexes and triggers intact, so that a rollback can be performed safely if needed. Two documented methods exist: executing Ti.Database.execute('ALTER TABLE …') statements manually, and opening the database with flags such as Ti.Database.CREATE
