Titanium iOS builder script

Location: TITANIUM_SDK/mobilesdk/osx/3.5.1.GA/iphone/cli/commands/_build.js
(TITANIUM_SDK is commonly at ~/Library/Application Support/Titanium)

1. Cannot change CFBundleVersion

• CFBundleVersion is the build version number, available to developer and beta testers.
• CFBundleShortVersionString is the release version number, what the users see on App Store
• CFBundleVersion is automatically assign to value of <version> in tiapp.xml, but for beta testing purposes, need to change this value everytime we upload new build to iTunes Connect TestFlight
• To fix this, modify iOS builder script in iOSBuilder.prototype.createInfoPlist() function, around line 2063

plist.CFBundleVersion = String(this.tiapp['build-version'] || this.tiapp.version);

• Assign value in tiapp.xml inside <build-version> tag, make sure the format is correct, refer https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html

2. If your Titanium SDK location is different from default (custom SDK path), the script doesn’t look up that folder when searching for modules

• My Titanium SDK is located at ~/Applications/opt/Titanium, when running the ti build -p ios command, it doesn’t lookup for modules there
• If my project included ti.cloud module, the build script will fail, cannot find the specified module
• To fix this, in iOSBuilder.prototype.validate() function

// around line 1321, add:
customSDKPaths = config.get('paths.sdks'),

// around line 1331, add:
Array.isArray(customSDKPaths) && customSDKPaths.forEach(addSearchPath);
