   Changing assignment from "none" to "Kevin Whinnery", since that's the submitter I see in the git log.

   I ran the Android SDK and AVD manager and updated to the latest versions and still get the problem.

   I tried loading the Eclipse project in the build subdirectory, just to see what would happen and got the result show in the attached screen shot.

   I cut&paste the javac command from the log (above) and used it to create a shell script to run the compiler from the command line and was able to see additional error info not displayed in the Titanium log:

      ./build/android/src/com/appcelerator/KitchenSink/KitchensinkActivity.java:3: cannot access org.appcelerator.titanium.TiRootActivity
      bad class file: /Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/0.9.3/android/titanium.jar(org/appcelerator/titanium/TiRootActivity.class)
      class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0
      Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
      import org.appcelerator.titanium.TiRootActivity;
      

   The class version mismatch indicated that I should be using JDK-1.6, not 1.5, which is the default setting on MacOS 10.5.8. I then used the Apple Java Preferences.app to change the JDK search order to try 1.6 first. This resolves the issue of building and running KitchenSink in the emulator.

   Unfortunately, I am now unable to deploy KitchenSink on a real device, in my case, a Motorola Droid running Android-2.0.

   I changed the phone setting to allow non-Marketplace apps, and this still does not help. There's no log or indication that the deployment failed. Although I see this in the /var/log/system.log:

      Mar  2 10:11:51 clozaril-2 [0x0-0xa25a25].com.appcelerator.titanium.developer[96952]: [15:11:51:841] [Titanium.API] [Information] (JavaScript.KKJSList) [ "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/0.9.3/android/builder.py", "install", ""KitchenSink"", ""/opt/android-sdk"", ""/Users/cwolf/src/appcelerator-KitchenSink-4d0db58/0.9.x/KitchenSink"", ""com.nolanwright.kitchensink"", ""3"", ]
      

   ...if that means anything.

   I tried to run that builder.py from the command line:

      "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/0.9.3/android/builder.py" \
       install, KitchenSink, /opt/android-sdk, \
       /Users/cwolf/src/appcelerator-KitchenSink-4d0db58/0.9.x/KitchenSink, \
       com.nolanwright.kitchensink, 3
      

   ...but got the following except stack trace:

      Traceback (most recent call last):

          from compiler import parse as compiler_parse
      ImportError: cannot import name parse
      

   ...but when I tried to run those lines in pyparser.py from the interpreter, everything looked fine:

      $ python
      Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39)

      >>> from compiler import parse as compiler_parse
      >>> from compiler import visitor
      >>> print compiler_parse
      <function parse at 0x76eb0>
      >>>
      

   Any ideas how I can debug this device deployment problem?

   I'm going to try reassigning to Nolan Wright, since it appears he was the original developer of KitchenSink.

8. Chris Wolf 2011-04-15

   I guess I should have watched the videos first. (I did read the "getting started guide") One of the videos
   points out that in addition to setting "allow installation of non-market apps", you also need
   "usb debug" turned on. This allowed me to install the app. Before I saw this, I tried modifying mobiles.py to add my Motorola Droid's vendor and product code to the device lookup table.
   It turns out not to matter, but I'll attach it anyway since usbprobe returns with zero exit
   status (device was found).

   Feel free to close this ticket. Thanks and sorry for the noise...

9. Chris Wolf 2011-04-15

   I should add that one of the videos incorrectly states that java-5 (1.5) can be used, but I found that
   java 1.6 is the minimum (at least for Android).
