forwardGeocoder only works for one address

Please see this ticket for details on how we are handling this: TIMOB-4880

In the meantime, you can do the forward geocoding yourself very easily, something like this:

xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
var query = 'Pittsburgh PA 15202'; // or whatever you want to forward geocode
xhr.open('GET', 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/geo?output=json&q=' + query);
xhr.onload = function() {
    var json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
    Ti.API.info(json);
};
xhr.send();

To avoid, reinventing the wheel, how to you get the coordinates from the json object ?

This is how I pull the latitude and longitude:

var json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
if (!json.Placemark || !json.Placemark[0].Point || !json.Placemark[0].Point.coordinates) {
    alert('Unable to geocode the address');
    return;
}

var point = {
    latitude: json.Placemark[0].Point.coordinates[1],
    longitude: json.Placemark[0].Point.coordinates[0]
};
