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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Generate missing asset densities I’ve just pushed an new assets command for the TiCons CLI. Use it with care since it will generates lots of images and also overwrite existing assets if the input is newer! The command uses the same smart defaults as for the icons and splashes commands. If you have retina images in iphone/images and use […]
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 […]
Track delegations using Apple Mail & Things First of all: E-mail is not the best way to ask people for commitment. Either ask people in person or on the phone. But e-mail is a great way to confirm what you’ve agreed on, send information and… to track delegations. Personally I love using Culture Code‘s Things for tracking my own projects and tasks […]
