Thanks for posting, my app is approved but not yet signed properly (due to the same issues). I am also having a problem with my icon, I used a 72×72 PNG but apparently I need to use an 86×86 icon. I tried to use an 86X86 icon but when I build my project I get an error due to the icon size being incorrect. How do you define your icon in your appname-app.xml file?
Just comment out all the icon definitions in your application descriptor file.
Instead, create a 86×86 png within your project “src” directory called “blackberry-tablet-icon.png”. This will get packaged automatically when you compile through Flash Builder.
Weird, eh?
Hey I got the same email as you did this morning.(rather the same 4 emails for whatever reason plus one saying they leaked my email address somehow) I was actually compiling with the 1.0.1 sdk(work at a company with access) so I found it odd they wanted me to go back to 0.9.4.
I was able to get the code signing done properly by doing the following :
Compile a new bar (I path to my sdk, i should probably set this but i will likely wait until they actually get something solid that will last awhile)
C:\BBDev\blackberry-tablet-sdk-0.9.4\bin\blackberry-airpackager -package yourBar.bar -installApp -launchApp yourApp-app.xml * -device 192.168.48.128 -password yourPassword
You must do the RDK sign before the author sign!!!!!! It’s two steps.
C:\BBDev\blackberry-tablet-sdk-0.9.4\bin\blackberry-signer -verbose -cskpass yourPass -keystore yourCert.p12 -storepass yourPass yourBar.bar RDK
If you receive already signed error from the rdk process change your version number in the -app.xml. (you may get an package-author error you can easily resolve this with notepad++ and winrar if you don’t feel like monkeying around it’s in the manifest file inside your .bar)
C:\BBDev\blackberry-tablet-sdk-0.9.4\bin\blackberry-signer -keystore yourCert.p12 -storepass yourPass yourBar.bar author
To ensure your app is signed properly check for the following in your bar file’s META-INF folder:
– RDK.SF
– RDK.EC
– MANIFEST.MF
– AURTHOR.SF
– AUTHOR.EC
Nice job on the tutorial btw it was the first place I checked when I received the error this morning. I had used it my first time around.
Whilst I have not managed to get the Flash Builder UI process to work, I was able to get it done with the Command Line process. I have documented it in my blog:
