Description

i18n strings.xml contain xml entity & (as &). When it is run with live view enabled then it does not decode it and shows output as & in simulator.

Test Case

app.js

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor : '#fff'
});

win.add(Titanium.UI.createLabel({
    color : '#333',
    text : L('test_str'),
}));

win.open();

strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="test_str">Some & more</string>
</resources>

Expected Output

Some & more

Output when running in LiveView

Some amp; more

[~ingo][~mxia] sounds like it might have been something cause by a ti sdk issue because I don't think I have changed anything for the i18n implementation since I added it. It sounds like a bug may have been fixed with JSON.parse

I'm going to mark this as resolved for 3.2.0 since the description indicates the issue is no longer reproducible in 3.2.0.
