    I don't think this is a Titanium problem. The compiled Alloy code looks like: 
           $.__views.win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
           id: "win",
           helloWorld: "$.args.helloWorld"
       });
    As you can see helloWorld is a string and that's the case regardless what Titanium SDK you use. It's also the same for both Alloy versions that shipped with the AppC: * AppC 4.0.0 & 4.0.1 / Alloy 1.6.0 * AppC 4.0.2 & 4.1.0 / Alloy 1.6.2 It's even the same if I don't go through appc run, install alloy from master and do alloy compile --config platform=ios. So I wonder how this ever worked for you? The only place where I see $.args working is in if attributes: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Alloy_XML_Markup-section-35621528_AlloyXMLMarkup-ConditionalCode
