Description

Problem

When installing on device, my symlinks for folders and files are ignored.

Steps to reproduce

Create a symlink that adds an images directory (located somewhere else on the filesystem) to the Resources folder.

    Paul Dowsett proposed this solution for v1.8.0, on iOS, but not Android: 
       line 517
   -- for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source):
   ++ for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source, True, None, True):

    Is this a Titanium Studio ticket? We don't actually do the compiling--we defer to the command-line SDK for that, so the fix I believe is in the SDK.

    We need a complete test case (Java Script, Symlinks, folders, etc.) to diagnose this issue.

    Hello, Take a look to this GIST project for an example of how to replicate the issue: https://gist.github.com/dd29e38d40148a44cdff I created just 2 JS files and added a README with 2 testcases: a symlink to a directory (which has the bug) and a symlink to single javascript files (this works).

    In the future please put test cases in the JIRA description field or comment, not in a gist.
