App crashes on startup as soon as I click the icon

marcucio · ‎01-14-2011

I am converting my Playbook web works app to BB10 and I am trying to run it on the BB10 simulator. I installed the new sdk, built the app and installed it on the simulator. As soon as I click the icon to launch the app, the app crashes. It is less than a second, I don't even get to the point of seeing a splash screen.

Any suggestions or places I should look first?

I'm assuming that this is a webworks application. Have you tried the following:

1. I'm assuming you used the BB10 webwork packager and SDK?

2. Check your config.xml for the proper elements for a BB10 application vs Playbook. The docs are found here: https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/apis/bb10_index.html

3. Are you using any librairies that have been updated for BB10 ie: latest version of BBUI.js

4. Try pulling some things out of your files and seeing if they effect it.

Let me know if you have any more information.

Yes I am using BB10 webworks packager and SDK

here is my config file, It looks like everything should work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets" version="4.3.1" id="GetItDone" rim:header="RIM-Widget:rim/widget">

<content src="www/index_debug.html"/>

I am not using BBUI, When I click the app icon nothing happens so I'm thinking maybe a signing issue or config file, but I'm not sure.

If you build with the old playbook sdk and install that on the bb10 simulator then the app works as expected.

I will try to pull more things out to see if it is an issue with my code or with buiding

Do you have a folder called www in your app? Because the index_debug.html will then need to be in your folder structure as AppFolder/www/index_debug.html.

yes I have a www foilder which contains all of my html and js filesI have the following structure:

files

--confix.xml

--icon.png

--www

-------index_debug.html

-------all other html + js files

also if I telnet into the simulator am I supposed to see all my javascitpt and html files? I am logged into the simulator as devuser/devuser and I get permission denied if I look in:

cd: /apps/GetItDone.testRel_GetItDone__96395a23/native

and /apps/GetItDone.testRel_GetItDone__96395a23/public/native only contains icon.png

sorry for type, it should read config.xml

Can you double check the created bar file has the right structure? Change it's ending to a zip and unzip it. You should see a manifest and a native folder, inside the native/app folder your contents should be present with your files etc...

I'm not sure about the permissions on the folders in the dev alpha simulator.

FYI I added a file index_test.html which is just this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="http-equiv" content="Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>GID Task App</title>

</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>

And I made that the start page and it still dosen't work, this leads me to believe it is a build issue

Try pointing your config file at an external site....and add an access uri="*" tag. See if you can get a remote page with just a config working.
