Description

When trying to run Android app onto emulator or device I get

[INFO] :   Installing apk: ***[CUT]***.apk
[ERROR] Application Installer abnormal process termination. Process exit value was 8

From the command line I can get more info:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/titanium/node_modules/longjohn/dist/longjohn.js:185
        throw e;
              ^
 has no method 'indexOf'
    at /home/maurix/.titanium/mobilesdk/linux/3.3.0.GA/android/cli/hooks/run.js:189:20

The output of "adb shell" is actually an object rather than a string, so "indexOf" fails. I fixed it locally with this patch:

Hello, As Titanium is obsolete use Appcelerator studio instead. Follow the instruction [here](https://web.appcelerator.com/product/studio) to download the latest Appcelerator studio. Also, follow the instruction [here](https://web.appcelerator.com/product/cli) to install CLI, SDK. Thanks.
