Questions tagged [appcelerator]

Use this tag for programming or development questions related to the Appcelerator Platform for developing Native Mobile Apps and APIs using JavaScript. Please use Appcelerator-specific tags such as [appcelerator-titanium], not [titanium].

Appcelerator - later Axway - was the owner of the Titanium SDK.

Since it is fully open-source since March 2022 it is better to use the general tag [titanium-mobile] for all Titanium related questions.

Check the [titanium-mobile] info page for all details about Titanium Mobile and the Stack Overflow tags
