Good Day All,

I'm having a problem trying to install and launch the HelloWorld code sample from the getting started document.

I am getting two things popping up when I click debug. See below for details.

Thanks,

Mike

Launch Failed

Failed to connect; session timed out.

Ensure that:

1. You compiled your Flash application with debugging on. (I was in the Debug perspective)

2. You are running the debugger version of Flash Player. (How do I check this?)

Is this from the CLI to install the application?

Are you in "developer mode" under the tools/security?

Did you specify the correct device IP address?

[rocketman889]

I am trying to launch the app from FB4 on a mac. In the playbook, I made sure that I was in development mode and I put under the debug properties the correct IP address and device password.

[jtegen]

Device password would not be needed (should not hurt if you supply it).  I have not tried using FB4 GUI to send to the simulator, I just have the command line method.  I would try it at the command line to see if it is the command, communication with the simulator, something with the project build, or something totally unrelated.

So try the command:

blackberry-airpackager -package app.bar -installApp -launchApp -C bin-debug app-app.xml app.swf -device 192.168.192.129

Where app is your application name and the 192.* IP address would be the IP address of your simulator once started.  The blackberry-airpackager/bin is located in the BB SDK directory, so you will need to either give the full path to it or set an alias to it.

You will at least get some meaningful error messages from this method.  If this works, then something in FB4 settings is incorrect.

[jtegen]

Also, your dump is compaining about a bad version number.  In your app-app.xml file (where app is your application name), make certain <versionNumber> is set to a real number like 1.0.0, that it is uncommented and that it is under <application> node.

rocketman889,

I'm also running on Mac (SnowLeopard) and I had the exact "version" error as you.

The issue turns out to be about the version of Java.

I have solved it by switching my current Java version from 1.5 to 1.6.

Here's a link that explains how: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/21878/Switch_to_Java_1.6_1360807_11.jsp

I have to switch it back and forward now because Ruby or Rails 3 that I also use relies on Java 1.5 

Please reply if this solved your problem.

i am having a similar problem. when i try to debug (using the flash builder GUI), i get

Deployment failed: 1
Error: Connection to https://192.168.106.129 refused

i have checked my version of java and it is version 6, update 22

the <versionnumber> in the app-xml file has 1.0.0

when i tried running from the command line, i got this message - error: A required privilege is not held by the client

so i googled around for an hour and then turned off the User account control, disabled the firewall and all other windows protection, gave myself the full permissions for all folders in the c drive

i still get the same error. any other ideas ?

[jtegen]

Is the IP address correct?  Maybe DHCP changed the IP address?

Your example here has "https".  Is that correct?

[ashish117]

yes, i have checked that multiple times. ip address is

192.168.106.129

it must be something simple, but i just can't think of it

Grasping:

Firewall issue?

Admin access?
