app is successfully registered to BBM.

But a call to bbmsp_send_download_invitation doesn't do anything.  No pop-up windows.  And the return code from the function is 0.  What is happening?

Which OS are you using on your BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha?  Is it 10.0.09.1103?

[sucroid]

Yes. 10.0.9.1103. Beta 4.

[MSohm]

This is a known issue in that release.  It's been fixed and should be working in the next OS release.

[sucroid]

Will it come in time for me to beat the 10K commitment deadline?

[MSohm]

Yes, the gold release of the tools are scheduled to be available next week (and will have this fix).

thx

Played with BBM over the weekend and happy to say I don't have this problem on my DA with 10.0.9.1103

We've been able to find the cause of this issue.  It isn't a bug, but a requirement by the invocation framework, which is used under the covers when calling bbmsp_send_download_invitation.  You'll need to ensure that your application contains a window group before calling bbmsp_send_download_invitation, which is required for the card to be shown within your application.

So any window group is fine as long as one is defined?
