Web and WebWorks Development

[HAL-9000]

I had a some problems with uninstalling the bar file loaded from command line.

Finally I wrote the small tutorial with a question/request at the end...

Configuration:

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit (Build 7600) 6.1.7600

VMware® Player 3.1.3 build-324285

Playbook simulator 0.9.3 beta

Conclusion: the command line from the tutorial is wrong...

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/23979/Remove_your_application_from_the_simulat...

Question/Feature request: Is it possible to uninstall the application by command "package" instead of "package-id"?

I tried all the possible solutions to remove the app from the playbook simulator, but only package-id helped.

Really not convenient solution...

Thanks for this.  I was wondering why the heck uninstallApp appeared to happily do nothing...

Hi there,

The command to uninstall an application from the Tablet OS simulator is the following:

blackberry-deploy -uninstallApp -device <IP address> -package <full path to BAR file> -password <device password>

Note: Use quotes to enclose the full path to the BAR file argument.

I believe the documentation was incorrect for a period of time, however has since been corrected.  Sorry for any confusion.

Cheers,

Adam

The method you described can be used only when you have an access to the project and its bar file, which is exactly the same as put on the machine (playbook simulator).

In case the bar file/project has been deleted, the abovementioned tutorial is valid.
