I'm trying to integrate the ti.admob module in my Titanium app to use it with iOS.
The problem that I am having is that if I simply include the module in the tiapp.xml file the app stops working. It tries to open but then closes alone without even showing the splash screens.
I have tried several versions of the module; Several of 3.x.x, 4.0.0, and 4.8.0, and none worked.
How can I get the module to work or what am I missing that is causing my problem?
You have to add keys to the tiapp.xml. For that have a look at the official docs at https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/blob/master/apidoc/Admob.yml#L43 and also this issue https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/issues/306 that talks about crashes on launch with some information too (there is a Manuel in the thread, not sure if that is already you 😀 )
about the different versions:
the latest should be the best here since it is using a newer version of the ad framework. BUT it includes some adaptars that might not be needed. Be sure to read some infos in the PR (https://github.com/tidev/ti.admob/pull/166).

The Problem
I'm attempting to build my first PhoneGap app for iOS. I am using version 3.3.x.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to get the Camera feature to work on my iPhone 5S (haven't tested any other devices).
What I've tried
I've installed the Camera Plugin
I've added the feature to the config.xml file on the platform/ios/www level.
I've tried using PhoneGap docs examples.
I've tried using other online examples.
I've tried buying the PhoneGap 3 book and going step-by-step through their method.
None of that seems to matter
What works
I've used a <input type="file" accept="image/*;capture=camera">, this works, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I'm trying to actually access the Camera API.
Geolocation plugin I've tried and it works fine.
Accessing external API's I have gotten to work.
What also doesn't work
Contacts Plugin also doesn't seem to be working with the examples on the PhoneGap Docs.
Possible Clues
I am running / building the app from within Xcode. I've also tried building using the Command-Line Tool but I'm not sure how to run it on my iPhone once it's been built through CLT. I don't know if this matters or not.
There seems to be a "lag" in launch time when I include any scripts associated with the Camera API.
Since I've used so many different code snippets from verified sources, I doubt it has to do with the js, html or css that I'm writing. I believe this to be a dependency issue, but I have no idea what it could be, and there's not much help out there for PhoneGap yet.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm trying to sign our BlackBerry app, but now it's asking for "RIMAPPSA2" signing key, which is the signing key for private APIs (which isn't allowed in the app world I assume). So I want to remove this requirement so I can actually run the app on devices.
There's nothing in the build log. My app does NOT use any of the following packages (which the internet suggests might be the issue):
net.rim.vm.Persistable
net.rim.vm.*
net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.*
net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.debug.*
net.rim.device.api.script.*
org.w3c.dom.jsp2.* <- actually is uses org.w3c.dom.*, but I've had an app not require this that already had this package in it.
net.rim.device.api.io.Seekable
And I'm not importing any external JARs (although I was before). I'm using the 4.5 JDE.
How can I find out what is making the signer tool require this signature?
Is there any way to track down what is causing this signature (RIMAPPSA2) to be required?
This might be due to a bug in Eclipse or RIM. You might not be using the RIMAPPSA2 classes.
OK, so its hard to believe but this page might fix the problem for some:
Frustrations with Blackberry Developer plugins for Eclipse
Basically its a bug, and by changing the Application Descriptor, saving, removing & re-adding the JAR file, the problem is fixed.
Follow-up #1 - might not work:
The above solution enabled me to build & sign the app. Unfortunately the app won't run on the phone Module 'MyApp" attempts to access a secure API.
Follow-up #2 - this worked for me:
I documented a full solution that worked for me here:
BlackBerry - use own JAR file in own project
In my case, I was importing my own JAR file, and I needed to set that project's build type to be a MIDLET. Setting it as LIBRARY or APPLICATION caused problems.
I've not tried it, as I am waiting for my signing key.
If you use eclipse, you can have following settings that can be turned off.
i'm trying to create an app which uses the combination of native functionality and the phoneGap framework. The native app has a button, upon the click of which the phoneGap ui has to be added to the view. Is there any way to achieve this? Are there any tutorials for the same?
Yes, this is possible. Although you might be getting yourself into some headaches. My app kind of goes the other way around, it's mostly phonegap, but occasionally i'll pop open a view that is native. Here is the link to code that shows an excellent example of how to switch between the iOS and phonegap worlds.
new updated recommended article (see update below)
These files represent a standard plugin used in phonegap. In this particular plugin, a native view is opened on top of a phonegap view. Notice you have a custom xib and everything. This plugin can be modified to display any xib with any functionality you could think of.
If you implement this plugin you will easily see how to jump back and forth. I've successfully heavily modified these classes to add LOTS of native capabilities to my phonegap project. Also you should probably check out the official phonegap guide to phonegap plugins. Here
Important Edit
Was informed original linkwas broken (not terribly surprised as this answer is very old and i've long since moved away from Phonegap) so I replaced the original link with an article that shows how to do these plugins well. In the article it explains the link is broken and gives several links where these older files are maintained, but in fact those are broken as well. Here is a branch of one of them I found that still hosts the original files on an "archive" branch. But I haven't investigated whether these files are wildly different from my original work. Good luck!
That's not how Phonegap is meant to be used.
To achieve what you are asking for you just need to create a Phonegap app and add the extra native functionality by writing a Phonegap plugin in Objective-C. You may add as much native code as you want.
I'm actually wanting to do the same thing as the original poster. Theoretically it would be comparatively easy, but non-trival to do. I'd love it if there was a PhoneGapView that one could integrate into an existing project. Bonus points if said PhoneGapView could be integrated in Interface Builder as a re-sizeable and re-positional object, basically think of it as an Object that extends UIWebView.
This is wishful thinking on my part seeing as this is how the higher-ups want my project.
I recently downloaded the trial version of Mono For Android. I tried running the Hello World tutorial. I receive the following error:
Tried to launch activity 'HelloMonoDroid.HelloMonoDroid/hellomonodroid.Activity1', but the device could not find it.
A common cause of this is manually adding an to your AndroidManifest.xml whose name does not match your Activity class.
Consider using the [Activity] attribute instead:
http://monodroid.net/Tutorials/Working_with_AndroidManifest.xml
I triple checked my code and didn't see any differences between it and the posted code in the tutorial. So I tried to create a new Mono For Android Project and ran it without modification. I named the Project Driver. Here is the error I received:
Tried to launch activity 'Driver.Driver/driver.Activity1', but the device could not find it.
A common cause of this is manually adding an to your AndroidManifest.xml whose name does not match your Activity class.
Consider using the [Activity] attribute instead:
http://monodroid.net/Tutorials/Working_with_AndroidManifest.xml
Notice it is the same as the original error with only the activity name changed. This is a simple solution. I am not creating a AndroidManifest.xml file manually. Is this a bug with the Mono For Android product?
Go to Tools->Options->Mono for Android and turn on adb logging.
This should write a log to your desktop that might give more details.
Aha, thanks I've found the issue. There is a place in that dialog (Tools->Options->Mono For Android) that sets the Android SDK path. After doing this the solution deploys and works with no trouble. I thought I told the installer where the SDK was, but apparently not. Its possible I got myself confused as I'm evaluating the Eclipse/Android SDK development environment in parrallel.
I've developed and application for iPhone. It works fine on os4 but it does not work on os3.1. In fact works but there are some problems; after splash screen a what screen appears. while I leaving the application I can see the application is opened successfully but just see while exiting.
So I wonder if there is a tool which says which apis have problems with os3.1? So I have a chance to replace them.
If you want to check a specific API, just run this in your code somewhere with an appropriate response. For example, to see if print is supported, run this...
if (NSClassFromString(#"UIPrintInfo")) {
}
Set your project's Base SDK to iphone-os-3-1, then build. All the error messages about classes, methods, and functions that don't exist must designate things added since iphone-os-3-1, since your project built and linked fine against the iphone-os-4-0 SDK.
If you don't have the iphone-os-3-1 SDK, try this instead:
Open your project's Build Settings.
Find the "Preprocessor Macros" setting.
Edit it and add __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED=30100
Now, try building. This should cause everything introduced after iOS 3.1 to be labeled unavailable, producing the same errors as if you had switched to the iphone-os-3-1 SDK.
It's a good idea to get a second installation of Xcode for this situation, in this case you need 3.2.1 with SDK 3.1.3 - I wish I could help you with a download link since it is no longer shown on Apple's page, but I have googled in the past and found direct, official download links which will work as long as you are signed in with your developer account, so good luck.
The annoying bit is that you need to go through your project files and set "Base SDK" to 3.1.3 and then back once you have completed the exercise. But it is the easiest way to flag what you can't do in 3.1.3. "sudo rm -rf" (I feel nervous even typing that) has an excellent method there but you need to have an inkling of what might be safe and what might not before you implement it or else you end up with code 10x the size it needs to be.
Apple really needs to sort out this issue - hopefully by flagging methods that are prior to your specified "Deployment Target", in the same way that deprecated methods are flagged.
