So it turns out that from at some version of Node.js spawn doesn't accept user input when you execute powershell script. Here's a sample code:

   var spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
       p = spawn('powershell', ['-NoLogo', '-File', 'Test.ps1']);
   
   p.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
     console.log('stdout: ' + data);
   });
   
   p.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
     console.log('stderr: ' + data);
   });
   
   p.on('close', function (code) {
     console.log('child process exited with code ' + code);
   });

And here's the powershell script that shows prompt:

   Read-Host -Prompt 'Input something'

node test.js should show the Input something: prompt, but it doesn't accept user input.

Tested using following versions of Node.js but none of them fixes the issue. * 4.4.7 * 4.6.2 * 5.5.0 * 6.3.1 * 6.9.1 * 7.1.0

Have you tried to user 'run' instead of 'build'?

I tried "appc run" too but it doesn’t work well for me. I believe it's because “Press enter to continue…” won’t be shown when you already installed developer certificate. To see if you already installed developer certificate, launch “Manage user certificates” from control panel and navigate to “Trusted People > Certificates”. “CMake Test Cert” is the developer cert, and when you remove it, “Press enter to continue…” will be displayed for you again. Warning: I would not recommend deleting developer certificate unless you want to debug this issue because you'll be blocked as you can't launch your app due to this issue... :P !certmgr.png|thumbnail!

[~sliang], To apply this fix manually, replace C:\ProgramData\Titanium\mobilesdk\win32\YOUR_TI_SDK\node_modules\windowslib\lib\winstore.js with [this latest one](https://github.com/appcelerator/windowslib/blob/master/lib/winstore.js).
