This document details how to add the background mode of fetch into the Titanium SDK. It is important to note that once these updates are performed you will be able to attach a listener to be called when the fetch background mode is triggered.

After the below updates are made, you can clear your Titanium project and run this sample app.js to view how it works.

TiBase.h and TiBase.m updates

The first step in adding the fetch background mode is to create the const values that will later be used when adding or listening to notification center.

To do this first open the TiBase.h file and add the const of

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.
Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

In PHP we have the for and foreach loops, which are both handy, but there is a case where a 3rd type of for loop would be handy: Iterators.

With 5.5 it became super easy to use Iterators, by simple creating a Generator. While working on my itertools port to PHP (here), I found a situation where both the for and foreach constructs fell short.

Example

I had created counter Generator which just creates an Iterator that starts at a given number and counts indefinitely. Then, I wanted to create a version of range which used an Iterator. Now, I could do this with a few for loops like in the PHP docs, but I wanted to use my new fancy counter function, so I started with a for loop:

Quick Example of registering a scheme in TiApp.xml, implementing the code in app.js / alloy.js

Often I need to display a user-provided picture in an ImageView in such a way that the whole ImageView is filled with as much of the picture possible.

This is how I do it:

var image = require('image');

Ti.Media.showCamera({
        mediaTypes: [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO],
 success: function (e) {
