Adobe AIR Development

I'm using Flash Builder 4.5, and I've followed all the steps from the guide correctly. My issue is that my app is not being signed (release was denied), even though FB runs through the process and seems to fail silently.

Looking in the .bar, the MANIFEST shows: Package-Author: Unknown, which is probably the cause of the issue. Any ideas where I should start? There are no other files in the META-INF folder, indicating it's not signed. My name is entered as the publisherID in the .xml, and it matches what RIM has on file for me.

hey,

i think your problem might be the lack of a blackberry-tablet.xml file. this is a configuration file separate from the -app.xml file in your project. you must manually create the file and in side of it at least specify the publisher and the application icon. here is a structure of what it should look like:

<qnx>
  <initialWindow>
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    <transparent>false</transparent>
  </initialWindow>
  <publisher>Sample Inc.</publisher>
  <category>core.internet</category>
  <icon>
  	<image>your_image.png</image>
  </icon>
</qnx>

Remember after you create the the file, you must place it in the src directory where you -app.xml file is located. then increment the version number in your -app.xml to something higher. finally go to Project > Clean and choose your project and hit OK. Then export your release as u did previously. good luck!

Thanks, that solved the author field, however it still doesn't seem to be signed as I'm not getting the required files in the META-INF folder.

Hm. Make the publisher field matches exactly to what you put into the form where you requested the key from RIM. after doing so before exporting, increment the version number and do a project clean.

if this fails you may have to revert to command line to find the actual problem. good luck!

FB is not very reliable for signing right now. Why not try the command line tools. They are not hard - and if you have issues - we can help you easier.

I did a small write up here. I used the command line to do it all so it should work for anyone.

A lot of clear information and helpful comments.

Cheers.

I managed to do it throug the commandline, and also packaged it in "run" mode. Not quite sure what all the steps that I took were, but it's now fully signed and submitted.
