Web and WebWorks Development

I have a bbm connected webworks app. After upgrading to 10.9.9.339, the program complains (in dev alpha A) that it can't find libbbm.so. I use both gold SDK and github version, with the same result.

This is snippet of my config.xml:

<rim:permissions>
   <rim:permit>bbm_connect</rim:permit>
</rim:permissions>
<feature id="blackberry.bbm.platform"/>

I check in the device and can find the libbbm.so

$ ls -l /accounts/1000/appdata/simayabbm.testDev_simayabbm__687d43fb/app/native/plugins/jnext/* 
-rw-rw---- 1 apps dev9 32 Jan 29 16:22 /accounts/1000/appdata/simayabbm.testDev_simayabbm__687d43fb/app/native/plugins/jnext/auth.txt
-rwxrwx--- 1 apps dev9 47042 Jan 29 16:22 /accounts/1000/appdata/simayabbm.testDev_simayabbm__687d43fb/app/native/plugins/jnext/libbbm.so

Interestingly, the sample code in the url below also got broken with the same error.

Any known remedy for this? Thanks.

Did you update the way in which your project references webworks.js?  Details are here:

The HTML5 key to the doors of BlackBerry World (aka BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK Updated)

Yes both my project and the bbm sample reference webworks with this line:

  <script src="local:///chrome/webworks.js"></script>

 My other webworks which uses my own extension has no problem.

Hey mdamt,

Ahh man -- I ran into the same issue a few days back -- turns out you can't use the BBM features until you sign your app. Chances are you are trying to use the BBM API while in debug mode -- sign it and run it again and the error should go away. Good luck!

Wow JRab, you're my hero!

I've a similar but slightly different problem.

My BBM connected WebWorks work fine in Dev Alph A (latest build), but when I tried it in Dev Alpha Simulator (BB10_0_10.261), it displays "Require Error Can't find /usr/lib/webplatform/plugins/jnext/libbbm.so Library cannot be found."

I've telnet into the Dev Alpha Simulator and indeed cannot find /usr/lib/webplatform/plugins/jnext/libbbm.so there.

Is there a problem with the Dev Alpha Simulator in testing BBM connected WebWorks app?

Thank you.
