[hopeless]

I had a similar experience with the platform. I was very excited, browsed through the APIs to check the required features were there and jumped in. It then took ages to get the right versions of SDKs/XCode and Titanium installed, which also involved searching though forum posts and patching files. Finally I got the "Kitchen Sink" app working. All was good.

I started implementing my app and quickly became flummoxed by the difference between seemingly identical windows (it's all down to "execution contexts" explained here http://iamwil.posterous.com/when-it-comes-to-titaniuminclude... not in the Titanium Docs).

And now Apple have made their subscription functionality the only game in town and that module (StoreKit) will cost a hefty Appcelerator subscription ($2500/yr, IIRC)

Bah... I've abandoned my Appelerator prototype and I'm going to try out PhoneGap which looks like it's really improved in the past ~6 months

I agree, PhoneGap today looks much better than it did when I started this project on Titanium about 6 months ago. I definitely wish I'd gone that route in retrospect.

Titanium is much, much more tolerable and sane if you ditch Ti.include and use its CommonJS Ti.require() instead.

Is that what screws up global events (at least on Android)?

Last time I checked phonegap didn't work with Xcode4, at least not out of the box. You had to hack some scripts to create a project file and stuff.
