I've a Titanium application that works on Android. Now, I want to make the Blackberry version.
I've tried to create a bar file in Titanium, but I use a lot of Titanium properties that are only for Android and iOS. So, the app crash.
I know you can repackage an apk to bar using command line tools. I've used it and it works. It converts the apk to bar, and I able to load it in a device (Q5). My problem is when I use apk2bar command, I receive a lot of warnings with different levels (a lot of severe warnings).
Severe warnings is because Titanium use native access.
I don't understand why the result of the conversion is succeed with these warnings, and why I can install it on device without any problem/error/crash.
Is there a way to remove something from Titanium and remove these warnings?
If I upload this .bar to Blackberry word, will it work?
Thanks!
Vila,
Those levels of warnings are there to let the developer know about potential issues. This does not mean that your application will not work.
Native libraries are supported in latest BlackBerry Android Runtime so you should not have issues, but don't forget to bundle them with your application.
Also, be sure to be using the latest dev tool to convert your APK to BAR FILE.

Find here also the API support to ensuer you will not have issues with your app features

my apk is 1.4MB but error is "This APK results in unused code and resources being sent to users. Your app could be smaller if you used the Android App Bundle. By not optimizing your app for device configurations, your app is larger to download and install on users' devices than it needs to be. Larger apps see lower install success rates and take up storage on users' devices."
how to fix this error
It's only a warning, not an error.
For an app that small I wouldn't worry.
It's not something that's made its way into the Ionic ecosystem yet but I heard that if you open up your project in Android Studio and then do the build through there you can create an app bundle.
I'm not totally sure that its fully tested for Ionic so you might have issues with this, but Android have published a full guide:
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle#get_started
This is what they say:
Download Android Studio 3.2 or higher—it's the easiest way
to add dynamic feature modules and build app bundles.
Add support for Dynamic Delivery
by including a base module, organizing code and resources for configuration
APKs, and, optionally, adding dynamic feature modules.
Build an Android App Bundle using Android Studio.
If you're not using the IDE, you can instead build an app bundle from the
command line.
Test your Android App Bundle by using it to generate APKs that
you deploy to a device.
Enroll into app signing by Google Play.
Otherwise, you can't upload your app bundle to the Play Console.
Publish your app bundle to Google Play.
I am developing a schedule app using Appcelerator, and I want to prevent a hacker from accessing any resources, assets or source code from the APK file.
If someone changes the .apk extension to .zip then they can unzip it and easily access all the app's resources and assets, and using dex2jar and a Java decompiler, they can also access the source code. It's very easy to reverse engineer an Android APK file.
Is there any functionality available in titanium SDK that prevent reverse engineering? I am using Titanium SDK Version 3.4.1.GA I tried following code but nothing works
<property name="ti.deploytype">distribution</property>
<property name="ti.android.compilejs" type="bool">true</property>
You'll drive yourself crazy trying to protect your code from someone determined to get into it. Generally, Appcelerator is getting you the ability to convert your code from JavaScript into something that resembles a mix of native with JavaScript controlling logic. If the Android platform doesn't accomplish what you want, I don't believe Appcelerator is attempting to do it either. I believe the JavaScript that doesn't get turned into native code is being obfuscated. I'm pretty sure that the Appcelerator project gets turned into an Android project. Perhaps you'll want to look for protections at that level and compile your app with the Android SDK tools.
I've been developing an app with Titanium, and I've got the app up and running on both iOS and Android.
Today I set up the Blackberry 10 environment to be used with Titanium and tried to compile and deploy to the simulator... It worked! But alas, after a brief peek at the appcelerator splash screen, the app crashes; all without any errors, warnings, or logs of any kind.
I've used telnet to see if there were any logs in the '1000' directory, and the logfile was empty for my app.
From what I've read in appcelerator's documentation and what I've discovered in the Titanium Studio software, Blackberry debugging support is not included.
Further information: I'm using the Parse JS library (not as a titanium module, just as a JS import) and my main window contains a TabGroup.
If anyone has any experience in Titanium for BB10 or insight as to what may point me in the right direction, that would be amazing.
I am not that new to Worklight, but the JSONStore is a new feature and I'm trying to learn how to use it. I downloaded the sample app (module_07_10_Using_JSONStore.zip) and installed it in my development environment, ran build and deployed it.
When I preview the app (as Android) in the Mobile Browser Simulator, and run through the sequence of Initialize the Collection, Add a Document, and then try to Find by Name, Find All, or get Number of Documents in Collection - I do not see the table at the bottom of the screen that displays the input data. I don't see any errors in the WL console. In the Android console, I get the error messages:
Unable to resolve target 'android-8'
WARNING: unable to write jarlist cache file - and then it points to location of jarlist.cache in the module.
I did not make any changes to the code. I looked it over, compared it to the education module content, and I don't see the problem. Any thoughts? Clues? Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
JSONStore is not supported in the Mobile Browser Simulator, it must run on an Android or iOS device or simulator, if you run it on the Android simulator it should work just fine.
Just a quick q about iOS development..
I'd love to be able to run a certain game emulator on my iPad..
If it's released under open source is there any thing stopping me from compiling it and running it in an emulator or getting a provisioning profile and running it on my device?
Do jailbroken apps tend to use libraries that wont run on a vanilla copy of iOS?
I.e. Do they patch the kernel to get full control of the video controller etc..
Thanks
Daniel
I think the jailbroken apps can utilize eglibc or glibc, as when I jailbroke me iPod Touch, I remember looking over the installed packages, and remember seeing something along the lines of glibc.
In short, I think if the app is self-sufficient, you probably could package it with XCode, but if it requires some low-level APIs and libraries, you're out of luck.
