Resolving this as invalid. According to the docs in http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.View-property-children, the children property is READONLY.
Andrey Tkachenko 2015-09-21

So, should be changed ios implementation or docs?

The ios implementation should change.
Andrey Tkachenko 2015-09-21

It changes can hence break related code in ios related projects. I think it requires discussion the topic that requires changes.

Perhaps you could do something like this using this method, add,[http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.View-method-add] instead of using the property children:-.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : 'white'
   });
    
   var textView = Ti.UI.createView({
   	backgroundColor : 'red',
   	width : '200',
   	height : '100'
   });
    
   var text = Ti.UI.createLabel({
   	text : "hello!"
   });
    
   textView.add(text);
   /*
   var view = Ti.UI.createView({
   	children : [textView]
   });
   */
   var view = Ti.UI.createView({});
   view.add(textView);
   win.add(view);
    
   win.open();

Exactly! And it would be very useful, not only in this case. :)
