Description

Adding a tabGroup as a property of a window or a tabGroup results in an undefined value. This does not occur in Android or MobileWeb. This is not a regression. Logs:

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Code:

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var tabGroup = Ti.UI.createTabGroup();
var label = Ti.UI.createLabel();
var x = {};

x.win = win;
tabGroup.win = win;
label.win = win;
win.win = win;
win.tabGroup = tabGroup;
label.tabGroup = tabGroup;
x.tabGroup = tabGroup;
tabGroup.tabGroup = tabGroup;

Ti.API.info('x.win == ' + x.win);
Ti.API.info('tabGroup.win == ' + tabGroup.win);
Ti.API.info('label.win == ' + label.win);
Ti.API.info('win.win == ' + win.win);
Ti.API.info('win.tabGroup == ' + win.tabGroup);
Ti.API.info('label.tabGroup == ' + label.tabGroup);
Ti.API.info('x.tabGroup == ' + x.tabGroup);
Ti.API.info('tabGroup.tabGroup == ' + tabGroup.tabGroup);

Some properties have undefined values, when test on iOS Simulator on: OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 Titanium Studio, build: 2.1.1.201208091713 Titanium SDK, build: 2.2.0.v20120813184911; 2.1.1.GA; 2.0.2.GA Running app on devices (iPad 2 (5.1.1) and iPhone 4 (4.3.5)) gets an Application Error "invalid method (create TabGroup) passed to UIModule at app.js (line 2)" iOS console log: [ERROR] Script Error = invalid method (createTabGroup) passed to UIModule at app.js (line 2).

Reopening TIMOB-2600 to address the build to device runtime behavior.

A TabGroup is a top-level container like the Window, so it should not be added to another top-level container. The same isn't allowed natively as well as apps that try this might be rejected by Apple.
