Stylin’ with Alloy

Jason is a Titanium Certified Application Developer (TCAD), an Appcelerator
'Titan' (a select community who champion and promote the platform to
developers) and is the founder and principle developer at BouncingFish LTD
in the UK.
He currently works as a Freelance application developer specializing in .NET
and classic ASP web sites and cross-platform mobile applications written with
the Appcelerator Titanium platform.
In this presentation, Jason Kneen will explain how to use Titanium's Alloy Styles, the new Dynamic Styles and
Jason's recently released Dynamic TSS Widget. Alloy styles are part of the View component in the Titanium Alloy MVC
architecture, and are used in a manner analogous to CSS usage with HTML.

Titanium News
Appcelerator announced that over 500,000 developers
have registered as of this month (September).
Titanium SDK 3.1.3 GA released
‣ Primarily focused on supporting iOS 7, but includes some bug
fixes for other platforms.
‣ Review Appcelerator’s iOS 7 Migration Guide. Some
significant points:
• iOS 5.x will no longer be officially supported by Appcelerator
with Release 3.2.0 (targeted for Dec 2013).
• iOS 7 does not support non-retina iPhones and iPods.
• iOS 7 and SDK 3.1.3 require the use of Xcode 5.0+, which in
turn requires Mac OS X 10.8.4 or later. This combination still
supports iOS 6.
• Titanium does not support generating 64-bit applications (e.g.
iPhone 5S), but will in a later SDK. The currently supported
32-bit apps will run properly though.

‣ Some significant points (cont):
• Must do tasks to support iOS 7:
✦ Update the app icon to meet the new size requirements.
✦ Update the launch image to fill the entire screen.
✦ Provide support for the retina display in all artwork and
designs.
• Should do tasks to support iOS 7:
✦ Make sure that the application UI accounts for visual changes
in iOS7 (e.g. borderless buttons, translucent elements, etc.).
✦ If necessary, change gesture handling to account for any new
global gestures (e.g. swiping up to launch Control Center).
✦ Adhere to ‘flat’ design esthetic present in iOS 7.
• There have been some styling and API changes for the
ButtonBar andTabbedBar.
• Use the new NavigationWindow to support a navigation
controller. The existing NavigationGroup object will be
removed in SDK 3.2.0.
