    [~buddyguards] Thanks for suggesting the solution but it would be helpful if you can post a simple test case to demonstrate the problem as well. We would move this ticket to engineering as soon as we are able to reproduce it with a test case.

    Very simple: 
       var browser=Titanium.UI.createWebView({top:0,left:0,bottom:0,width:'100%'});
   browser.url="http://www.google.com";
   var title=browser.evalJS('document.title');
   Ti.API.info(title);
    title will be null. Note that the @JavascriptInterface is required only on late versions of Android. I tested it with 4.3, and as soon as I added the annotation, it started to work.

    Moving this ticket to engineering as I can reproduce this issue with the provided test case.

    I have noticed the same issue in: 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
   var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({
   	url : 'http://www.appcelerator.com/',
   });
   win.add(webview);
   win.open();
   webview.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
   	console.log(webview.evalJS('document.title'));
   });
    Problem: twitter-adapter cannot work, because the library selects pin from html-page. I think it is urgent to solve it. Unsolved we cannot work with (HTML)-oauth!
