  • Dev, please state the operating system you are running it on, and the processor and RAM installed to the system. Thank you

  • What is your app id? it should be something like com.name.appname

I had exactly the same issue after creating a new Titanium Mobile project from one of the wizard templates. No clue whatsoever in the build log. Tried commenter Matt's advice - changing the Application Id in the tiapp.xml editor to the "package" form com.mycompany.Appname fixed it straight away.

  • Matt, out of interest, what was the id before, and how did it come to be in the incorrect format?

  • The "New Titanium Mobile Project" wizard lets you type anything into the App Id field, which I dumbly did.

    Trying it again now, I notice if you enter a Project name first it displays the hint "Missing App Id (example: com.companyname.appname)", so it does in fact try to help... unfortunately I had entered the app id first, after which the wizard doesn't complain. I guess it could do with some extra field validation.

  • Thanks for the extra info, Matt. Can you remember the format you used before, though?
