Description

It doesn't appear that Appcelerator Cloud Services work on Mobile Web projects. All httprequests fail on mobile web unless a proxy or CORS are used. In the case of ACS it doesn't appear that either of those are setup since it fails.

Hello Jeff! In this case, is part of the limitations of the Mobile Web platform. If you need access to the ACS, you will need to setup either CORS or a proxy in order to be able to pass by the cross domain limitations. Check this document with all the needed info: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/Mobile_Web_Limitations Best, Mauro

I setup a test new project in 3.1.3 for mobile web with a slimmed down app.js. Using a site validated for CORS I still get 'Can't Reach Host'. Here is the code:

   Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');
    
   var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
    
   win1.open();
    
   var button = Ti.UI.createButton({width:200,height:50,title:'TEST'});
   win1.add(button);
    
   button.addEventListener('click',function(){
       var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
       xhr.open('GET', 'http://remysharp.com/demo/cors.php');
       xhr.onerror = function(e){ 
           alert('Error ='+e.error);
       };
       xhr.onload = function(){
           alert('Response ='+this.responseText);
       };
       xhr.send(); 
   });
