Intro

Titanium 12.1.2.GA, whats new in main branch and lots of modules.

Titanium 12.1.2.GA

Between the last Titanium News and now there was 12.1.1.GA and 12.1.2.GA was released a couple of days ago.

You can check out the release notes at 12.1.1.GA and 12.1.2.GA.

Some bugfixes for Xcode 14.3, especially when using apps with spaces or special characters in the app name (you can also use i18n app names) and the Android TableView will stay at it's scroll position when you reassign data.

Hyperloop 7.0.5 is bundled with the SDK, too.
In case you run into EACCES issues: run chmod +x "~/Library/Application Support/Titanium/modules/iphone/hyperloop/7.0.5/hooks/node_modules/hyperloop-metabase/bin/metabase"

Preview

In the last couple of weeks we had two "merge session" with @cb1kenobi and myself to review and merge some pull requests. Here are some of the new features that were merged into the master branch already:

• remove X-Requested-With header from HTTP requests
• secure Ti.Network.Socket for Android
• update android dependencies
• rotationX and rotationY are now animatable on Andorid so you can create card flip animations easily (video in the PR)
• CameraX is finally included! It's off by default but if you want to test it you can use useCameraX:true to switch it on. It offers many new features so make sure to check the PR for code and images. More info during the RC phase.

Modules

Many modules received updates! So in case you use one of them make sure to update your apps.

• iOS Vision / VisionKit in Titanium 2.1.0: update module environment to latest, add new API
• ti.admob (original) released iOS 6.1.0 and Android 5.1.0 with big help by @Astrovic. All included modules are updated and his fork already updates iOS to 6.2.0 with support for "App Open Ad".
• Dropbox API 6.0.0 was released with OAuth2 code flow support and more methods
• PurgeTSS 6.2.26 updates Tailwind, FontAwesome, Material Icons and Symbols.
• Firebase Database Android v1.0.0 is available! And already a PR to use Firestore Database on Android too.
• TiSocial adds file support
• ti.map fork is a version that can use a normal native view instead of a fragment on Android. That will fix some issues when you use it in a ListView Header/Footer
• ti.map got a small update on Android that will remove the toColor deprecation warnings
• ti.storekit 5.0.0 was released with macOS and M1 support
• ti.webdialog 2.3.0 for Android removes the toColor warning too

and finally not a module but Kitchensink v2 received an update too. Some housekeeping and a new event example.
