description

Use when implementing Titanium SDK native integrations: location services, Google Maps v2 (Android) or Map Kit (iOS), push notifications (APNs/FCM), camera and gallery, media APIs, SQLite databases, HTTPClient networking, WKWebView, Android Intents, iOS Keychain/iCloud, WatchKit/Siri, Hyperloop native modules, or CI/CD with Fastlane and Appium. Triggers include `tiapp.xml` in the project root plus calls to `Ti.Geolocation`, `Ti.Media`, `Ti.Database`, `Ti.Network.HTTPClient`, `Ti.UI.WebView`, `Ti.Filesystem`, or third-party modules like `ti.map`, `ti.playservices`, `ti.identity`.

Overview

Practical reference for Titanium SDK native integrations: device APIs, networking, persistence, native modules, platform-specific deep dives, and CI/CD. Reference-style — load the relevant file from references/ for deeper detail.

When to use

Use this skill when:

• The project contains tiapp.xml
• Implementing device features: GPS, camera, push notifications, sensors
• Adding maps: Google Maps v2 on Android or Map Kit on iOS
• Working with media: audio, video, image gallery, density assets
• Persisting data: SQLite, Properties, Filesystem, encrypted storage
• Networking: HTTPClient, sockets, SOAP, SSL/TLS, file uploads/downloads
• Embedding web content: WKWebView, local HTML, JS bridges
• Platform-specific work: Android Intents, iOS 17 privacy, Spotlight, iCloud, Core Motion, WatchKit, Siri
• Extending Titanium: Hyperloop, native modules, AndroidX migration
• CI/CD: Fastlane lanes, Appium UI tests, store deployment

Do NOT use for:

• Alloy MVC concepts, controllers, models, data binding (use alloy-guides)
• Alloy CLI, conditional views, custom XML tags, build hooks (use alloy-howtos)
• Titanium SDK fundamentals, tiapp.xml config basics, app distribution overview (use )
