Description

Reproduce

Create a new Titanium project. Don't add any code to it yet.
Launch it.
After it launches, edit app.js and add Ti.API.info("Android version: " + Ti.Platform.version);.
Save app.js and re-launch the application.
Look at logcat. Instead of setting the info() message successfully, you'll see:

E/KrollContext( 4552): (kroll$1) [11,317] ECMA Error evaluating source: TypeError: Cannot read property "version" from undefined (app://app.js#9)
E/KrollContext( 4552): org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot read property "version" from undefined (app://app.js#9)
E/KrollContext( 4552):  at org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime.constructError(ScriptRuntime.java:3761)
E/KrollContext( 4552):  at org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime.constructError(ScriptRuntime.java:3739)
E/KrollContext( 4552):  at org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptRuntime.typeError(ScriptRuntime.java:3767)
(etc)

"touch" the tiapp.xml and relaunch.
Now you'll see the correct message.

cf #2475 as well -- user seems to have had same problem and fixed by touching tiapp.xml.

Customer is reporting that app built with "Distribute" (which, i believe, does a full rebuild), also exhibits this problem.
