Learn how to integrate platform‑specific native modules in Appcelerator Titanium, reduce bridge latency, manage lifecycles, and avoid common pitfalls with a practical example and clear best practices.
When a new native module crashes a React Native app, this guide walks through the symptoms, ordered checks, fixes, and escalation steps to restore a healthy build.
An NW.js app that crashes or shows a blank window on Windows usually has a missing VC++ runtime, an ABI-mismatched native module, or a corrupt cache. Here's how to tell which and fix it.
Decide the right level of platform‑specific code in a Titanium app. This guide covers requirements, the minimal design, trust boundaries, CI checks, and failure modes that might push you from the cross‑platform API to Hyperloop or a native module.
Learn how to move performance‑critical code from Titanium’s JavaScript layer into a custom native module to reduce bridge overhead and improve app responsiveness.
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
Development workflow decision The goal is to maintain a repeatable Electron development environment where edits to both renderer JavaScript and native Node modules are reflected instantly while preserving UI state such as Redux store or window dimensions. Using electron-reload provides near-instant renderer reloads but does not invoke native-module rebuilds,
