A/B Testing with support of Appcelerator Titanium? - appcelerator

I would like to know if there is any reasonably good platform for A/B testing that supports Appcelerator Titanium? So far I have not been lucky in finding one.

How about vessel. It supports Titanium.

Look at a company named "Tune", they offer some great mobile analytics.

Is there a deployment method for taking an alexa skill and turning it into an IOS app on Xcode?

I have an Alexa Skill and want to turn it into an IOS Mobile app.
There is not a direct easy way to turn one Alexa Skill into a IOS App, because it are completely different platforms based in totally different technologies (programming languages, Operating systems, etc).
My suggested steps are:
Write down the algorithm or the step-by-step of the functionality
of the Alexa Skill.
Make a flow diagram of all the input-ouput
process.
Find out some IOS App Developer and show your idea and ask for suggestions of how to do it.
Pay someone (or do it by yourself) to develop your idea and publish it
on the App Store.

OpenTok TokBox - comparing opentok-react-native and Web SDK

where can I find detailed comparisons of the trade-offs in using one or the other?
I presume react native will use the iOS and Android SDKs which will yield better operability, performance, support, and features. Is this true? Where can I find documentation describing this?
As the heavy lifting is done natively by the browsers when using the OpenTok JS SDK, I would not expect much of a performance difference between the two.
I would consider the target audience and what mix of technologies you are using to build your application to be the important question here.
If your application's primary use-case is for mobile users, perhaps going react-native or even native is probably the way to go.
If your application is primarily web-based and you expect the target audience does not wish to install an app for it, then the OpenTok JS SDK might be the better solution.

Xamarin Sample Apps for iPad and iPhone?

I wonder why none of the Xamarin Prebuilt Apps at https://www.xamarin.com/prebuilt support both iPad and iPhone? They all have the same design on each resolution. Especially Apps like 'Acquaint' would be perfect on iPad to have the contact list on the left and the details on the right. But instead it just has the same design like the iPhone Version.....
Are there any reasons why Xamarin does not offer samples with different designs depending on the client resolution? Are there somewhere else some examples?
Many thanks!
You might want to take a look at our Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms Book First Edition by Charles Petzold.
I work on the same team as Charles and I know it's a topic he's covered in detail. The full book should be available soon too.
BTW, we are looking into creating some detailed, annotated cross-platform app samples that do all the goodies that a typical modern app would be expected to have.
I do not know of any of the stock Xamarin examples that use OnIdiom, but it just a matter of time to code them...hahahah, always just a matter of time and code. (I'm sure the Xamarin guys can chime in on this one):
Xamarin.Forms.OnIdiom Class
<OnIdiom.Phone>Vertical</OnIdiom.Phone>
<OnIdiom.Tablet>Horizontal</OnIdiom.Tablet>
In terms of finding examples that use the Xamarin.Forms XAML OnIdiom I would search Github for OnIdiom, there a few OSS examples of phone/tablet switching floating around there as I used at least one as a template to do a quick phone/tablet prototype for a client.

Does the Windows Phone platform support limited/beta releases for app developers?

I am interested in developing an app for Windows Phones, and was wondering if they support the concept of limited/beta releases for their app developers? By this, I mean the ability to deploy a beta or demo version of my app to a limited/restricted audience, such as business partners, customers, external beta testers, etc. Nothing in their SDK documentation indicates either way. Thanks in advance!
You can create a Beta App submission in the Dev Center, and by adding certain Live Ids, limit the access to your application and make it available to your Beta Testers. See the following for more information :-

Best way to approach WP7 app development?

I have some knowledge of basic PHP developing however right now I am thinking about developing a phone app. I do however have a bit of a conundrum in that I love WP7 and I have so many ideas for features which can't be done on iOS and Android, however at the same time I am completely aware that my target users (filmmakers) generally have iOS or android phones.
Is there a way I can develop the app, which I will get a developer to do rather than myself, with WP7 as the lead platform and then make a relatively simple conversion to the other platforms or do apps generally have to be completely reworked for each platform?
Also, just to though it out there, any idea of where to go to find a freelance app developer?
Thanks
James
I think you have a few options, but the first question I would have is: where comes the data from. Are you the owner of the data, and do you already have a datasource from where you can get the data from? If not I would suggest take some time to write a decent 'backend' from which the different platforms easily can get the data from.
Also all different platforms have their own pro/cons which you cannot share that easily. If you build a WP7 app in silverlight/xna, you cannot directly port it to a ios/android variant, also functionality will probably look/react different. You will need different solutions foreach platform with this approach.
Another option would be to use an platform like phonegap which can create a solution that will work on multiple platforms. (It uses HTML5 to get it work on the different platforms)
Build your app on iOS and android first, and when you have an app to base WP7 development then contact a developer that has made similar apps to yours.
