Description

When building the app for distribution on Android. Click events on web view are no longer fired, however when building for development the app works fine. This occurs when adding a click event to a webview app.js

var webView = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
    scalesPageToFit : true,
    left : 0,
    width : '100%',
    showScrollbars : false,
    willHandleTouches : false,
    disableBounce: true,
    anchorPoint: {
        x: 0.5,
        y: 0.5
    }
});

var html = '<html>' + 
    '<head>' +
       '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=yes,initial-scale=1">' +
       '<script src="lib/web/Mmf/global.js"></script>' + 
   '</head>' + 
   '<body>' +
       '<a href="javascript:clickme()">Click here</a>' +
   '</body>' + 
   '</html>';
webView.html = html;

globals.js

function clickme() {
    alert('Click!');
}

I attempted to use sample attached. Works on 3.1.0.GA, anything below does not:

2.1.1.GA

   05-21 12:21:02.795: I/TiWebChromeClient.console(17948): (main) [26603,58379] Uncaught ReferenceError: clickme is not defined (1:)

2.1.5.v20130226113056

   05-21 12:23:30.514: I/TiWebChromeClient.console(18340): (main) [2676,4729] Uncaught ReferenceError: clickme is not defined (1:)

[~egomez], for the scenario you are talking about, I would try the first approach that I mentioned. From the use case description, it looks like you will need to disable minification completely. When testing those PRs, I would make sure you have the SKIP_JS_MINIFY environment variable defined. Let me know if that works.
