Release your Titanium app on mobile web and win!

Published on April 17, 2012 by Kevin Whinnery (Platform Evangelist)

The mobile web platform is coming along fast, with a release candidate build available in Titanium 2.0. We’re looking to help developers start targeting mobile web today, so we thought we’d make it interesting. If you have a Titanium application that is available in an app store today, you are eligible to win $1,000 cash from Appcelerator in our 2.0 Mobile Web developer contest.

To enter, simply port your existing Titanium application (or create a new one for mobile web and at least one native platform), and e-mail both the app store link (or links) to the native app, along with a URL to the mobile web version, to community@appcelerator.com with the subject line “CONTEST” by June 1st, 2012.

Five native and mobile web applications will be chosen (at random) to receive $1,000 as a thank you for being among our first mobile web adopters. There may even be a little something special for our favorite apps. Good luck!

      Bit confused. The text says “If you have a Titanium application that is available in an app store today, you are eligible to win $1,000 cash from Appcelerator in our 2.0 Mobile Web developer contest.” but then goes on to say “To enter, simply port your existing Titanium application (or create a new one)…” – can I start from scratch and still enter?

      Thanks,

      Tony

      @Tony You’re right, that is confusing – I will update the post. Basically, the requirement is the application must be deployed to a native app store and as a mobile web application.

      Where can I find some documentation on how to get started creating a mobile web app with Titanium? I know this feature is still new, but a basic overview of how to get started would be helpful.

      Andrew,

      Building a Mobile Web app is much like building for iOS or Android, but there are some issues specific to running inside a browser. Here are some pages to start with:

      http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.0/index.html#!/guide/Mobile_Web_Platform_Overview
      http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.0/index.html#!/guide/Mobile_Web_Limitations
      http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.0/index.html#!/guide/Deploying_and_Distributing_Mobile_Web_Apps

      Hope this helps.
