  Best way to force a full rebuild is to touch tiapp.xml from command line:

  > touch <PROJECT_DIR>/tiapp.xml

• You do not need to rebuild as soon as titanium create a bootstrap app. so You don't even neeed to restart to emulator to see your change. just change the view in the emulator after editing/saving a file, or if you want just relaunch app (push big button and launch app)

  this is a major improvement, and developpement is faster this way.

• I know what you mean, it always seemed to ignore my changes forcing me to change the version number each time for a full recompile. Eventually I just made the following batch file to copy from my code workspace for compile and to compile it all using the commands gleaned from a debug mode compile. I am on a PC so it is android only and you will have to alter paths to suit your system. For a mac you will need to make a simple shell script. The important part is to place all your code into the device\bin\assets\Resources directory.

• Steve you are absolutely right and Titanium sometimes even installs a previous version on to my device, when it is supposed to de a full rebuild in these circumstances. There is no possibility of a mistake here, the changes are very visible and I first delete the app from the device and also from iTunes -> to the Trash. I worry what Titanium might package up for the app store!

  The only thing I have found to guarantee the latest version gets on to the device is to do a rebuild, close the app in the simulator and then delete the app from the simulator (and all the useless copies that accumulate there), then exit and rebuild.

  That does it for me.
