It would be good to support iPhone/iPad projects in the same\nTitanium project so that developers could build universal binaries.\nIt's an oft requested feature from folks to the community, so I\nthought I would put in a ticket so folks could track its\nprogress.
This should definitely go into the \"ToDo\", instead of just being\npart of a \"WishList\".
What I'm worried about is if there are two similar applications,\none of which has iPad support as well, the customer is\nunfortunately less likely to choose the Ti one.
This should really be a part of 1.5.0
Bit surprised it wasn't done like this to begin with - how is\nipad different from other mobile devices?
Some hints on how 'universal apps' work: \nhttp://oleb.net/blog/2010/04/universal-app-is-not-a-universal-binary/
\nUnlike the 'universal binary' system for PPC+Intel or\narmv6+armv7, this actually runs the exact same code on\nboth systems. It's more like checking what version of OS X you're\nrunning on and tailoring your library calls to either use or avoid\nnew features, rather than building separate binaries for each\nsystem.
\nA few general notes:
\nTARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY should be set to the 'iPhone/iPad'\noption (3?) any alternate code paths between iPhone and iPad\nneed to be selectable at runtime. The link above has examples of\nhow to check this. * Since a single .app bundle and binary will be\nrun on both systems, any needed resources for both need to be\nincluded; that means things like the application icon and\ndefault.png splash screen need to be separately settable for iPhone\nand iPad, but coexisting in the same project and the same output\nbuild.
I shipped the latest version of my app with the build hack you\nguys provided, and apart from table view backgrounds it's been\nrunning fine, and has resulted in a lot of happy iPad users.
@Damien which Build Hack are you referring to?? Any\npointers?
Its not really a hack, its adding a device family (iPad) to the\nbuilder.py file. If you go to HD/Library/Application\nSupport/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/the_build_you_are_using/iphone/builder.py\nline 682 and TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY=1 to TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY=1,2\nand that will work.
Either way, this is an Titanium Developer, not the runtime\nissue. (Setting up the info.plist right). Bouncing back to\nRalf.
A pro client is interested in this feature.
\n+1
\ncurrently working with the hack solution provided, but would be\nreally great to have this streamlined.
\nthanks!
ETA is end of week. Lots of builder changes to go along with\nthis.
Great that this is being worked on. For now, using the hack\nsolution, is there a way to define an iPad version of the\nDefault.png image that you see when the app opens up?
It's covered in the Apple docs. Put the images in the iphone\nfolder rather than the resources directory.
(from [61fbf1550144115ed21cdaf69c37d24d85d1afbb])\n[#1041 state:fixed-in-qa] Addition of universal\nbinary support to build scripts. \nhttps://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/61fbf1550144...
Good job Jeff, now can you give a brief explanation on how to\nmake an app universal? :)
Jeff didn't write this feature, I did.
\nWait for TiDev 1.3.0.
Ah okay, my excuses Stephen, great job. Any ETA for TiDev\n1.3.0?
We're going to try and make it drop around the same time as\n1.6.0. You can take advantage of the new universal support by\nmanually using the builder.py script if you want but that's an\nexercise left to the reader.
Same as:
\n\nhttps://appcelerator.lighthouseapp.com/projects/32238/tickets/2916-...
Steps to take:
\n\n1. Open Titanium Developer V. 1.3 (still in beta as of 01/26/2010)\n2. Create new project and select \"Universal iOS\"\n3. On \"Test and Package\" select iPhone and click \"Launch\"\n4. App launches in iPhone Simulator as an iPhone app.\n5. Click Stop\n6. Select iPad and click Launch\n7. App launches as in iPad Simulator as an iPad app.\n\nWorking as expected.
\nTi SDK 1.6 (Jan 26 2011 16:47 rb481fe0b)
\nTi Dev. 1.3
\niPhone and iPad simulators 4.2
When using the hack, on the Iphone the splashscreen flashes\ntwice. It first loads Default.png then Default-Portrait.png\ntargeted to the iPad.
\nIs there a workaround or will that be fixed in the new\nrelease?
hi.. how can i compile Titanium Developer beta 1.3 from sources?\n(https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_developer\n) ?
\nopening that project with Titanium Developer 1.2.1 and creating\na package, it gives error (like \"the app was created by a different\nuser\")..
\nany idea? or even better: any .dmg to download anywhere?
\nthanks
