Appcelerator Titanium Error “couldn’t find module library…”
So a buddy of mine who I am collaborating with on iPhone projects using Titanium 0.8.2 kept receiving this error: “couldn’t find module library Titanium.API” when launching his application. As a result any time it detected code that referenced Titanium.API the simulator would crash.
It turns out that the builder.py file in the /Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/0.8.1/iPhone directory was scanning for the file libAPI-3.0.a. The trick is to modify the python code so that it doesn’t upper-case the module name and instead, correctly looks for libApi-3.0.a.
Here’s what to do:
1) Open a new terminal window and cd to /Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/0.8.1/iPhone directory
2) Make a copy of the builder.py file (name it builder.py.bak or something else) just in case
3) type “vi builder.py”
4) Find the line “module_normalized_name = module_name[0:1].capitalize() + module_name[1:]” and just above it enter this line “module_name = module_name.lower();”
5) Save the file and re-launch
We scoured the web to find a solution, but didn’t see anything so before we forget, we thought we’d share this.

Thanks all. I will try to dedicate more time to technology posts, but lately it has been mostly on the investing side as that has drawn a larger audience and taken most of my spare time.
