I've been trying to add a project on titanium to windows phone. Sadly the documentation hasn't been particularly helpful with regards to several problems I've had. Note that I've tried fresh installs of this with fresh projects with a lot of googling and still not had any luck. Oh and I only use the CLI cause I have worse problems with the GUI
I think the first most annoying thing is that the logging module just cuts out after the application loads so I can't log anything, not sure what's up with that.
Second is the layout issues. I recognise that windows phone has different elements and is styled differently, but there are giant margins on textfields that I can't get rid of.
Third I tried to include a picker, however, there simply is not way to set the background once it opens, nor can I adjust the theme (of which defaults to dark), plus the setSelectedRow option doesn't work.
There's probably more, but these are the issues I've spent the most time one.
I think my build log might say something about what's wrong, there's a lot of warnings and errors:

Although it became stable a year ago, Titanium SDK support for Windows Phone is still very poor. It is almost impossible to create fully functional app in Appcelerator for that OS. Some examples:
