Testing and Deployment

[Saifallah]

Hey all,

so today I updated my Dev Aplha to the latest OS, 10.9.9.339. Before that I was able to load my apps to the device using the IDE but now it's not recognizing the device. The moment I stick the USB to the Alpha, it shows a message that I should install the Blackberry Link. 

I located the file (Finder, OS X) and initiated the setup but when I reach to the actual step of downloading it, it says:

The update download failed with the following error: A server with the specified hostname could not be found.

What do you freaks think?

Hi,

Got same trouble... on Windows it also failed but you have a button to install the archive. So on Macosx, i try to remember the steps as The app install disapear:

- right click on .app icon "Show Package Contents"

- inside "Contents/Resources" you have a big pkg file. select and open it

- install it

- all goes ok and mac needs to restart unplug your device

- reboot done replug your Dev Device

- You see some popup all is ok

- now i could open Momentic and see your Dev Device

Hope it helps

Thank you so much, @mikbry!  I was dead in the water after updating my DevAlpha today, and was kicking myself because I couldn't continue development for the port-a-thon or B4BB submission.  Now I am back in business!  Hopefully there is still time to get my app in...

Just a note for anyone else having this problem, I had to unplug and reconnect my DevAlpha after restarting the machine in order for the Blackberry Link software to recognize it.  Also, make sure you remembered to re-enable Development mode on your DevAlpha after the OS update.

Thanks again!

Can you please be more specific in what app to open and what to install?

I can't connect to my updated Dev Alpha anymore, neither I have any disk image added when I connect a device to my Mac.

Nevermind, I fixed the conenction to Mac by going to device Settings->Storage and Access and changing USB Connection option from Autodetect to Connected to Mac.

Once this changed, device became visible to Mac and Flash Builder.
