Cascades Development

[djogon]

I followed the instructions to update existing BETA 4 apps to the latest GOLD release from here

https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/getting_started/tools/compiling.html

updated the .pro file, the main.cpp and the bar-descriptor.xml file appropriately.

However - the app fails to launch on the device when I build for Device-Release. Did not change the Device-Debug obviously and that works fine.

The error message is "Unable to release application on target"

Anyone has a clue what's wrong?

update your device/simulator.

[djogon]

@borceg

Why should I update device/simulator? I am testing on the real device?

[smiley]

Half of my apps don't work with the new OS update.  Arggg

You may also have to change another line in the bar-descriptor.xml file

Find the line that looks like

<configuration id="com.qnx.qcc.toolChain.1120265426" name="Device-Release">
    <platformArchitecture>armle-v7</platformArchitecture>  
    <asset path="arm/o.le-v7/cascadescookbookqml" entry="true"
            type="Qnx/Elf">cascadescookbookqml</asset>
</configuration>

 and change it to

<configuration id="com.qnx.qcc.toolChain.1120265426" name="Device-Release">
    <entryPointType>Qnx/Cascades</entryPointType>
    <platformArchitecture>armle-v7</platformArchitecture>  
    <asset path="arm/o.le-v7/libcascadescookbookqml.so" entry="true"
            type="Qnx/Elf">cascadescookbookqml</asset>
</configuration>

check the /arm/o.le-v7/ folder to get the exact name of the .so file

Also be sure to clean before you build the project. This was able to get everything working for me even when skipping the new workspace steps.

With these steps the launch time of my apps was cut in half...

I was always wondering why I should use another workspace - so it works without  for you

@Ebscer

using the full library name works - the question is why did RIM, in their instructions, provide wrong information. I don't see why would changing the workspace have anything to do with it.

I did create a new workspace and follow the exact instructions. The startup time is really amazing with this configuration though.

I have the same issue

Done as you said, modified file name to lib*.so, still not working.

@xhotkey

Did you make sure you changed the .pro file at the appropriate place and added the export macro in main.cpp ?

[xhotkey]

I gave up and created a new project.

The pro file became simple:

CONFIG += qt warn_on cascades10

include(config.pri)

There's no these:

device {

    CONFIG(release, debug|release) {

        DESTDIR = o.le-v7

        TEMPLATE=lib

        QMAKE_CXX_FLAGS += -fvisible

    }

Anyway, it's running and fast!
