Titanium SDK 14.0.0.GA released

Titanium SDK 14.0.0 is a major release of the SDK, adding support for iPhone Duo and Xcode 27.2, a native Ti.UI.iOS.SplitWindow and true multi-scene support on iOS. On Android, it modernizes the build stack with Gradle 9.4.1 and updated libraries, and makes the V8 runtime faster.

Here are the highlights of the release:

• iOS: Support for Xcode 27.2 and iPhone Duo, including the new hingechange event in Ti.App.iOS, Ti.UI.Window.reservedRegions to lay out around the fold and the inner camera, and vertical bar APIs like Ti.UI.Button.visibilityPriority and Ti.UI.Window.verticalBarBehavior
• iOS: Ti.UI.iOS.SplitWindow is now backed by the native UISplitViewController and exposes displayMode, splitBehavior, presentsWithGesture and the column width properties
• iOS: True multi-scene support, so an app can run in several windows that share one JavaScript runtime
• iOS: Device builds are installed and launched via CoreDevice (devicectl), which also finds devices connected over Wi-Fi
• iOS: Support for Icon Composer app icons as well as dark and tinted app icons
• iOS: The minimum iOS version is now 16, and building requires Xcode 16 or later
• Android: Updated the build stack to Gradle 9.4.1, Material 1.14.0 and newer AndroidX libraries
• Android: A faster V8 runtime with cached property names and no forced garbage collection after image operations, plus a faster and more reliable getCurrentPosition()
• Android: Change the app icon at runtime with Ti.App.Android.changeIcon()
• Android: Ti.UI.Color parity with iOS, so color objects can be passed to component properties
• Android: The WebView supports the camera and gallery picker for file inputs and a new injectEventBindings() method for external pages
• iOS and Android: Snapping for ListView and TableView, a ListView itemlongpress event, borderDashPattern for views, padding for labels and animatable rotation
• Tooling: The SDK release process is now automated, from the release note and this announcement to the downloads and API reference on the website

Breaking changes:

• iOS: The masterView and detailView of a Ti.UI.iOS.SplitWindow must be Ti.UI.Window instances. Plain windows get a system navigation bar unless you set navBarHidden: true. The layout properties showMasterInPortrait, masterIsOverlayed, masterViewVisible, portraitSplit and landscapeSplit are deprecated and have no effect anymore
• Android: Ti.UI.fetchSemanticColor() now returns a Ti.UI.Color object instead of a string, like on iOS. Pass it to properties directly, or call toHex() where you need the string
