And of course, thanks to Apple’s quick sync the Calendar disappeared from all my devices in no-time :( Here’s how I managed to restore the Calendar: In Finder, hold the ⌥ option key to go to the otherwise hidden Library folder under the Go menu. Navigate […]
Eerste app uit de Dagboek App Factory Begin dit jaar schreef ik voor tiDev een blog genaamd Building an App Factory naar aanleiding van de Dagboek App Factory (DAF) die ik voor Royal Jongbloed bouwde. Het heeft even geduurd, maar inmiddels is de eerste app uit de fabriek gerold voor zowel iOS als Android. Bijbel in Gewone Taal Het Bijbel in Gewone […]
Using iTerm2’s improved visor In January I switched from iTerm2 to TotalTerminal. After learning about it from Tony I felt totally in love with its persistent visor window that slides down and up when you press a hot-key. I don’t think a tool has so quickly become indispensable in my workflow as TotalTerminal — Tony in moderation (@tonylukasavage) 21 […]
Major rewrite for a TiNy CLI The Titanium 3.4.0 CLI includes a hack (well, a hook actually) to select Xcode 5 for Titanium SDK 3.3.x and older and Xcode 6 for Titanium 3.4.x and newer. This hook expects the CLI’s build command to be followed by a platform and/or sdk option. Unfortunately this hooks runs before the TiNy hook can possibly […]

In this chapter he uses the native Android ViewPager module for a second layer of navigation. I already did a widget […]
Tickets: Checking for fixed bugs Did you know that Titanium 3.4.0.GA and Alloy 1.5.0 fixed 335 bugs in total? I bet some of them were affecting your apps as well! And being the expert developer you are, you probably found a temporary workaround. So what do you do when a new release comes out? Do you go through all of […]

I personally did some Pull Requests for Titanium to add support for (localised) iPhone 6 and 6 Plus icons and launch images and put together a Q&A on iPhone 6, iOS 8 and of course the Apple Watch for tiDev.io. TitaniumNL […]
IconFont CLI Some time ago I created FontAwesomeJS to generate a CommonJS module exporting all of FontAwesome’s unicodes by icon name. Something I had been doing manually – a word us lazy programmers don’t like that much. Using this script I could generate a new module every time FA added new icons by just calling http://fa.fokkezb.nl. Even lazier Today I […]
