My app is depends on net.iamyellow.gcmjs module.

Questions

1. Is there any latest version of net.iamyellow.gcmjs module to support for titanium SDK Version 6.3.0.GA?

2. If it is not there when will you release the new version of net.iamyellow.gcmjs module?

Answer 1

Sorry for the late reply, to answer your question, iamyellow is no longer maintained and this has been the case for at least four years if I recall, with TiSDK 6.x there had been a an update on the v8 version which requires a rebuild of all android native modules if I recall correctly.

That being said, this should not be an issue as there already is a great module by the name of ti.goosh

Hope this helps

For smaller modules like this one, you can update the module yourself to make it support a higher titanium SDK. In this case TheFuquan suggested an alternative module which hopefully fills your requirements, but for others where there might not be an alternative downloading the sourcecode from git and rebuilding the module for the newer sdk is usually pretty simple.

in this case i believe the only thing that needs to be changed is the "apiversion" to 3 in the manifest file of the module. Possibly the "architectures" property need to be updated in the manifest file aswell. Then you just build the module and you are good to go.
