Welcome to the Titanium SDK open source project. Titanium SDK provides a mature platform for developers to build completely native cross-platform mobile applications using JavaScript.

Currently supported native platforms are iOS and Android.

Titanium SDK is licensed under the OSI approved Apache Public License (version 2). Please see the LICENSE file for specific details.

Features

With Titanium SDK, you use JavaScript to code your application. Titanium's compiler will compile your application code into an efficient native executable for each target mobile platform.

• Native apps built using JavaScript (no hybrid, no embedded WebView)
• Apps are compiled and run locally with full offline support
• Support for native platform UI controls (TabGroup (iOS), ActionBar (Android), ...)
• Support for watchOS targets
• Support for in-application SQL database
• Support for Geolocation (compass, geolocation, forward/reverse lookup)
• Support for Camera (taking Photos, playing and recording Video)
• Support for Calendar (creating & fetching Events)
• Support for 3D-Touch (Peek and Pop, Application Shortcuts, ...)
• Support for Photo Album (reading and writing)
• Support for Contacts Database / Address Book
• Support for Streaming Audio and Recording Audio, Audio Input Levels, Mic, etc.
• Support for Vibration
• Support for Social APIs such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), etc.
• Support for Yahoo YQL
• Support for Web Services via REST, SOAP
• Support for native Maps (Apple Maps, Google Maps)
• Support for Push Notifications
• Support for In-Application Email
• Support for In-Application SMS, Telephone
• Support for Filesystem (create, read, write, etc.)
• Support for Gestures (such as Shake and Pinch)
• Support for Platform and Device capabilities

And much, much more (see our Documentation site for more infos).

Hyperloop

Use Hyperloop to extend your Titanium SDK apps by native API's using JavaScript. Prior to Hyperloop, you would use native modules to extend the Titanium SDK API. With Hyperloop, you are now able to implement native classes, 3rd-Party libraries (CocoaPods, local frameworks, .aar files) and more directly into your apps. Hyperloop is available for iOS and Android.

Features

Cross-Platform Reuse

Build and maintain apps in a fraction of the time with up to 95% code reuse.

Direct API Access

Access 100% of platform APIs directly, with instant support for each new OS release.

JavaScript Everywhere

Create mobile apps using the world’s most popular programming language.

3rd-Party Libraries

Incorporate 3rd-party native libraries using JavaScript, with no changes required.

Custom Animations

Easily create complex custom effects like dynamic animations using JavaScript.

Run Native

Mobile app development for every major mobile OS – with no hybrid compromises.

Example

Create a native view in iOS and Android:

// iOS
var view = new UIView();

// Android
var view = new View(activity);

Getting Started

Alloy

Alloy is the MVC application framework built on top of Titanium SDK. It is optional. It rocks. Check it out if you're considering using Titanium SDK. It is also a separate open source project available under Apache Public License.
