We used it to make a simple android app in the last month. It worked and I sure liked writing the app in JavaScript vs Java but we ran into huge issues with Titanium caching resources during the build process that were supposed have be removed or updated and leaving things behind that we then had to track down and manually remove. It basically just takes whatever is in the build directory and tries to package it with little validation for correctness. My suggestion to people using it is to sanity check the code it generates in eclipse or xcode as part of your dev process.

You need to clean your build directory whenever you change resources (i.e. add new images, delete old images). It makes the build take a bit longer but you'll have no issues. So i.e. just delete the contents of the Resources/build/iphone directory and then rebuild the app from Titanium.
Oh, I know how to solve the problem. I just think the tool could use work.
