unzip module in SDK home path

[beppo-ivel]

After the build completes, I have to unzip the built module in the Titanium SDK home path. Is ~/.titanium/mobilesdk/linux/11.1.1.GA/module/ the correct path?

yes, if you want to have the modules globally, then this is the correct folder. Be sure to check the content of the ZIP. If it is a normal module the module folder is inside the file too, so you place it in the SDK main folder (otherwise you'll end up with module/module/android/...)

If you just want to use it in a project: simply place the module in the apps root folder and build it. It will extract itself when you run the build command. https://fromzerotoapp.com/use-modules-in-your-app/#link5

What is the difference between ~/.titanium/mobilesdk/linux/<version>/module/ and ~/.titanium/modules/android/, the scope?

I could only guess that the <version> one will only work if you use the SDK version. But I never used that one (it's empty in my SDK folders). I know that the bundled modules like ti.map or hyperloop are in the .titanium/modules to be globally available. But I always prefer the app module folder because then I have all modules at the correct version in my git repos/backups

Agreed with @m1ga. I have tried modules stored in both places and prefer to keep them in the project modules folder so they are stored in the git repo alongside the app. Especially if you switch to a new computer in the future and you haven't worked on an app for a few months, you will appreciate having everything kept together.
