Web and WebWorks Development

currently I've just got a problem regarding signing the app using webworks api for playbook.

In particular, I could already package it into a bar file but just cannot sign it.

I've followed all instructions at 

1. http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/23977/Configure_signing_for_tablet_application...

2. http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/23977/Sign_the_cod_file_for_a_BB_Widget_applic...

And it seemed I've already successfully registered my file because I've got the following mail in my mailbox:

A registration request completed successfully for client 'xxx'.  The client has xxx code signing request(s) left.

The client was sent back the following message:

Client 'xxx' successfully registered with signing server ID RDK, and now has xxx code signing attempts remaining.

Then when I run the command: ./bbwp ~/Dropbox/Interceptr.zip /gcsk 123456 /gp12 123456 /buildId 1  /o /Users/xxx/Desktop        (I've replaced my real pass in this email with string 123456)

I've got following messages from the console:

[INFO]       Parsing command line options

[INFO]       Parsing bbwp.properties

[INFO]       Validating WebWorks archive

[INFO]       Parsing config.xml 

[WARNING]   Failed to find a <feature> element

[INFO]       Populating application source

[INFO]       Compiling WebWorks application

[INFO]       Packaging the bar file

[INFO]       Bar packaging complete

[INFO]       Starting signing tool

barsigner error: developer certificate and private key not found in keystore or store password not supplied

[ERROR]     Signing failed

and using blackberry-signer gives the same output:

./blackberry-signer -verbose -cskpass 123456 -keystore sigtool.p12 -storepass 123456 ~/Desktop/Interceptr.bar RDK

barsigner error: developer certificate and private key not found in keystore or store password not supplied

I wonder if anyone has any ideas about it?

Make sure you name the certificate file as "sigtool.p12" and place it under bbwp/bin folder

I had a similar issue because i was naming the certificate as something else.

[gillbates]

thx for your info tags, I did have this sigtool.p12 distributed everywhere, one copy in bbwp/blackberry-tablet-sdk/bin, the other in bbwp/bin. But it doesn't help ... Any more clues?

[gillbates]

and I've also generated barsigner.csk barsigner.db in my ~/Library/Research In Motion directory

I have   the exactly same problem as you except that I am using Windows 7.

Anyone can give us some hint to resolve the issue?

[tags07 · Accepted solution]

These are the exact steps I followed. I have tried this twice and havn't seen issues either on WinXP or Win7

updated PATH env variable to add all the paths to the tools

C:\Documents and Settings\tags07\Desktop\keys>

blackberry-signer -csksetup -cskpass mypass

C:\Documents and Settings\tags07\Desktop\keys>

blackberry-signer -register -csjpin mypass -cskpass mypass "C:\Documents and Settings\tags07\Desktop\keys\client-RDK-000000000.csj"

C:\Documents and Settings\tags07\Desktop\keys>

blackberry-keytool -genkeypair -keystore sigtool.p12 -storepass mypass -dname "cn=MyCompany Inc." -alias author

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager for PlayBook\bbwp\bin\bbwp.properties

Edit the above file to uncomment : <developer_cn_signature>MyCompany Inc.</developer_cn_signature>

copy sigtool.p12 into C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager for PlayBook\bbwp\bin

C:\Users\tags07\Desktop\blackberry\Apps\MyWebApp>

bbwp "C:\Users\tags07\Desktop\blackberry\Apps\MyWebApp\MyWebApp.zip" /gcsk mypass /gp12 mypass /buildId 1.2 /s archive_source /o compiled

Have you done pretty much the same as above?

[gillbates]

thanks tags, ah...now I've successfully signed my app.

It's due to understanding error there.

for this command:

blackberry-keytool -genkeypair -keystore sigtool.p12 -storepass #pass# -dname cn=#name# -alias author

I've changed the string "author" at the end to my own name and then we cannot sign.

@waynes2011, you have to request a new signature file from bb (resubmit that webform) and using the commands as tags listed above...

Thanks again for you guys .

[waynes2011]

Thank you all.

I still have errors.

I will get a new signature file from BB as suggested.

[bryanallott]

quite funnny actually, i made the same mistake

instead of 

-alias author

i put down

-alias bryan

What was that saying about "assumptions" again...?

Thanks for posting that, I had the exact same issue and solved it with the exact same solution
