Argh! I wanted to move my MathTerms app to Android — specifically the Kindle Fire. OK, I can create a new “term” window and make it look and act like an iPad split/detail window. Not too hard to do but takes effort to make it look nice and act well. When I went to read my data from some text and html files, though, everything fell on the floor! I would get hangs or non-repeatable errors. Titanium Studio would crash erratically. MAJOR bummer. I looked at the Appcelerator community support area – and didn’t find any help — at first. As my frustration grew and my searches became more desperate, I finally found a well-visited Q&A that mentioned this bug is fixed in a nightly build of 1.7.3. I wasted *days* on this one stupid bug, with no workaround that I could discern.
I am a paid “indie” developer with Appcelerator but can’t read their master bug list. What’s up with that? Finding an acknowledgment of the issue and then the fix was beyond frustrating 😉 I am now back on track and excited again. I still love like Titanium Studio.
