So I have finally finished my BB10 app.

I was just wondering how I go about exporting it from momentics and if there was and tips or things i should remember before buidling it.

It's an update to a previous PlayBook app of mine and I want to release it under the same SKU.

Thanks

If you want it to be the same app, i.e. an inplace upgrade of the playbook version for someone who has already downloaded it, it usually needs to have the same package id and use the same signing keys.

To export the build in momentics you need to use the "export release build" function that shows up in the bar-descriptor.xml editor

The same id and same signing keys should be enough.

Pretty easy to do, I have a step-by-step tutorial for it: http://bbcascadescode.tumblr.com/post/33340977264/exporting-bar-file-from-cascades-ide

I have an app that is working fine in debug model on the device but when I export the release build and side load it the app icon is there but fails to run.

Anyone else ever see this happen?

Hi JaredCo,

Where did you export signed bar file? Signed generated bar file is exported to \arm\o.le-v7 folder defaultly. May be you would have picked up from \arm\o.le-v7-g folder.

Hi,

I double checked and I picked up the one under BAR Packages which comes from the arm\o.le-v7.

The app installs fine on the device by sideloading....icon is there but when I click  the icons shift over then back like a peek...no window is opened.

Finally figured it out.....I had an older project and didn't know I had to make this change :

intmain(intargc, char**argv)

Add the Q_DECL_EXPORT symbol before the declaration:

Q_DECL_EXPORT intmain(intargc, char**argv)

You might want to read up on the latest compiling notes for the Gold SDK.

They have some additional changes, that I'm not sure if they will deem mandatory.
