Compatibility module for unified and global Appcelerator CLIs Since 4.0, the Appcelerator Platform has a single appc CLI that bundles local versions of the former ti, alloy and acs CLI. You can still use the embedded CLIs by calling appc ti instead of ti. You can also still install the other three CLIs directly from NPM, in particular to work on projects that […]
New TiNy version with support for AppC CLI UPDATE 2015/06/24: Version 4.x uses appc-compat and no longer requires tn b ios or tn r ios but now simply accepts tn ios. I’ve just published a new version for TiNy, the tool that saves you many keystrokes every day if you are using the Titanium CLI. If you have been using TiNy, please read […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Major update for TiNy Last week I quietly pushed out a major update for TiNy. I presented TiNy in November at TiAppCamp in Atlanta as an alternative CLI for ti build that allows you to use less, shorter and smarter options. For example: 1 ti build -platform ios -target dist-appstore --pp-uuid 37304C9F-B2E0-490A-9800-0448A33BECE9 --distribution-name "Fokke Zandbergen (E8978765FC)" can be reduced to: 1 tn 37304C9F-B2E0-490A-9800-0448A33BECE9 "Fokke Zandbergen (E8978765FC)" or with a custom recipe even: 1 tn deploy TiNy is now […]
TiCons CLI April last year, I launched TiCons – a simple online tool written in PHP to generate all your Titanium (and Alloy) icons and splash screens (launch images) from a single source. Each month, it is used to generate icons for 600 apps! Module & CLI Last month, I developed a NodeJS CommonJS module and CLI […]
FontAwesomeJS Font icons are awesome. They are the solution for every web designer’s nightmare and given the extra pixel densities in apps, even more for us (Titanium) developers. I use them a lot and just started on another project for which I wanted to use the new 4.x edition. But of course these all come with […]
