Description
The android emulator is much slower than the iphone and that's a known developer pain point. However, even deploying a very small js change in Titanium takes an incredibly long time. Titanium re-packages everything needed for the application and then does the deploy. It would be great if there could be a smart compilation step that keeps some kind of temporary package and then only recompiles those files affected by the js changes. Or some kind of other live debug implementation like what Livetanium has done on the iphone. The workflow for developing android apps is extremely slow compared to iOS. I realize this is also an android platform issue but there certainly is room for improvement on the packaging side within Titanium.
I should mention that the emulator is kept running and the deploy time is not taking into account relaunching the emulator.
