Deploying to the simulator

So I'm trying to port my Android app across to Blackberrys App World and I obviously wish to test the app first. I followed the guide on the Blackberry website and managed to create a ".bar" file using "sign for app world" in Eclipse. I then pushed Install and low and behold the icon appeared on the Simulator. I tried clicking on it and nothing happened, absolutely nothing. I got the visual feedback that the app icon had been pressed and thats all. I tried reinstalling the app, restarting the simulator and all of the obvious things with no luck.

 

I then decided to look at other ways of deploying the app to the Simulator and I discovered "blackberry-deploy" and thought I'd use that with the .bar file, the problem is that I get the error "command not found" which is a standard OSX Terminal error because "blackberry-deploy" isn't recognised.

 

Any help would be really appreciated since I'm really tearing my hair out over this at the moment.

 

Thanks!

Re: Deploying to the simulator

I'm trying to test my app on the 2.0 simulator too.  Make sure you have version 2.0.0.7.1.0.9 and use VMWare.  The link to download it is dead.

Re: Deploying to the simulator

Ah really, you have to do it on 2.0? I was attempting to do it on "1.0.8"
