Questions about Port-a-thon submitted apps

The first question is:

 

During the Port-a-thon event a ask in chat one of the moderator if I resend an already published app, this app will be accepted to receive rewards, and I receive a positive answer(if the app can be run on BB10 device), so I resubmit the app, but I got I file Denied asnwer, just telling the game was already submitted and if I want to update the app, I need to use the first version.

So, if I updated the app now, this app will participate in the port-a-thon rewards program?

 

Second question:

 

Another of my submitted apps that receive a 'File release denied' receive the following coment

-------------------------

- I am testing your app on the BlackBerry PlayBook (OS version 2.1.0.1088) and the app doesn't appear properly on the device as it's too big on the screen. The score board on the top right screen is truncated, so I can't see the score as a whole. 

- I am testing your app on the BlackBerry Dev Alpha Device. The app doesn't appear properly on the device as it's too big on the screen and the application are in the wrong orientation, it's appears on the portrait mode, so i can't see the screen as a whole.

-------------------------

I have a playbook, and can test the game, but I don't have a BB10 device, I try to use the simulator to see if my game works, but can't make the game work on any of the simulators(BB10 simulator or playbook simulator), in my playbook device the game can be deployed and run.

If I resend the game to be approved only to playbook device, this app will be considered to earn port-a-thon rewards?

Re: Questions about Port-a-thon submitted apps

When you resubmit, you have to update the version number in the bar file or it will get blocked. Try updating the version numer and resubmitting (you still qualify as you get one resubmit for the port-a-thon). 

 

As for your second app, the problem is that the playbook runs as a resolution of 1024 x 768, while the dev alpha runs and 1280 x 768. It also sounds like you have it oriented wrong, there should be a line in your xml file that can either lock it in landscape or you can add protrait mode support.

 

Good luck :smileyhappy:

Re: Questions about Port-a-thon submitted apps

Thanks for help

I found the orientation lock in xml.

But got a denied again because of scale.

I only have a playbook to test my apps, don't have a BB10 device and can't run emulator to test BB10 app.

I'll try to send again.
