Description

You cannot use MODE_APPEND to set the write mode to append when writing to a file.
API docs say that Titanium.Filesystem.MODE_APPEND should be used.
No way to write in append mode on iOS

Tested With

This is how it works for Android

   var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'newfile.txt');
   newFile.write('line 1\n');
   newFile.write('line 2\n', true); // 'true' puts write() in append mode
   
   Ti.API.info('newfile: '+newFile.read());

This functionality will be merged with the Stream implementation in the near future. Regardless, I have resolved this issue and it is pushed to master. (commit 44467a48a979c1285310a18b4729458503b8fdbe)
