Description

Description

If a Windows Platform module requires specific capabilities to function then a module developer should be able to use the timodule.xml file (in a similar way to Android modules and permissions) to specify capabilities that are required. Then at build time these should be included with any capabilities a users app may need

    Verified improvement. I was able to create a module for windows and then add capabilities in to the timodule.xml; the capabilities i added can be found in https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/901. *Steps taken to verify* 1. Go to file -> new -> Mobile Module Project in Appc studio 2. Entered the details for the module ( Project name, Module Id ) 3. Selected the windows option 4. Pressed Next and then finish 5. Open the timodule.xml 6. Added the following code to the windows section in the timodule.xml: (https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile_windows/pull/901) 
       <manifest>
               <Capabilities>
                 <DeviceCapability Name="location" />
               </Capabilities>
   	  </manifest>
    7. Packaged the application 8. Selected Titanium SDK as the output location and pressed finish 9. Opened up a windows application and added the module (Go to the application tiapp.xml and then clicked on the green plus button to add the created module 10. ran the application on a emulator and windows phone 11. Once the application opened I checked if my application had the capabilities by going in to C:\Users\USERNAME\.titanium\vsbuild\YOUR_APP_NAME\Package.xxx.appxmanifest.in and i saw the following: 
       <Capabilities>
       <Capability Name="internetClient" />
       <DeviceCapability Name="location"/>
     </Capabilities>
