Testing and Deployment

[jjrohrer]

I'm trying to get my first app (Powernap) to run on a physical device.  It runs fine in the simulator, but it won't launch when I try to put it onto an actual device.  I'm not even sure where to start, when i tap the icon, nothing happens.  Literally nothing. 

When I tried installing the app before I signed it, I got the standard message about the app trying to access secure APIs (Its a webworks app that plays some sounds).  But now, after I've signed it, no message is displayed, no luanch scree, etc.

I have tried deleting the unsigned app, rebooting, and then re-installing.

I think that I'm signing correctly since I'm not getting any errors.

How can I tell where the problem is?  Any pointers?

Here is my build and load steps:

What BlackBerry Smartphone model and BlackBerry device software version are you testing on?  You can find this under Options, About on the BlackBerry Smartphone.

Do you see any errors in the BlackBerry Smartphone's event log?  You can extract it using the following command:

javaloader -u eventlog > myLog.txt

The device is a torch 9800

"JavaLoader device" claims this (which seems odd to me)

• Copyright 2001-2009 Research In Motion Limited

My real OS is versino 6.0 Bundle 695

I followed the following process:

• I deleted the old app from the phone.
• I restarted the phone
• I compiled and signed the package
• I installed the package
• I launched the app

When I launch the app, the log produces this:

 (as a side note, the clock on the screen readys 10:25 instead of the 9:25 shown in the log)

Hmm, just an idea.  My phone does not have a sim in it because I no longer use it as my primary phone.  Not sure it that might have something to do with it.

My compile & sign line is:

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager\bin>bbwp.exe "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\common_cross_builds\torch\ProjPowernap\build\src.zip" /g

I get the signer dialog after this and enter my password.  It seems to nicely go through and sign everything.  I'm assuming that it signs without errors because the dialog goes away after stepping through 122 steps.

 My install line is: 

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager\bin>JavaLoader.exe load "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\common_cross_builds\torch\ProjPowernap\build\bin\StandardInstall\src.cod"

For completeness, here is the log from just the install portion:

 but I'm not exactly sure how to interpret this since I certain feel like I'm signing the app.  Should the above section be interpreted as the "App was not signed"?  Could it also mean "The app was not signed properly"  Could it also mean "Your config.xml file is whacked."

[MSohm · Accepted solution]

Your application has not been signed with the RRT key.  Did you install all 3 csi files that you were sent?  Each one pertains to a different key and all are required to sign an application.

[jjrohrer]

Just so others know, if you are signing properly, you'll see greened 'signed' things in the Java signing dialog that pops up.

Ok - that sucked. Was that tool really designed to fail silently, or was I missing something.

How did I get so confused? - after looking back, my request for keys generated 17, yes, 17, automated emails from blackberry. I sort of think that one email with three attachments might have been a bit more parsimonious. oh well.

This is on the TODO list for the next version of code signing we are working on.  

[jjrohrer]

Ah, great to hear. We all know these things take time. I really appreciate the help on this thread!
