This helped me immensely as I was getting bogged down with the process.

for those who have trouble viewing the app from blackberry after a successful install, I used -launchApp option. So the app installed and then launched when it was done.

command would be something like

blackberry-deploy -installApp -launchApp -password playbook -device 169.254.0.1 -package D:\C\device\Converter.bar

Hope this helps.

I try to implement step to step,

The cmd line of the “Step Ten”:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\blackberry-tablet-sdk-1.1.1\bin>blackberry-deploy -installApp -password playbook -device 169.254.0.1 -package D:\C\device\Converter.bar
Info: Sending request: Install

Really helped a lot, especially regarding all these debug tokens and such! Saved me hours of figuring things out. I had problems loading it onto the playbook originally, kept giving me the “500 error author not the same” issue, until you mentioned you ALSO have to have a “blackberry-tablet.xml” file with the author and authorid also included.

However, I still encountered a few problems along the way. Here they are, in case it helps others:

First, the “blackberry-tablet.xml” file wouldn’t recognize my icon. When compiling using bbwp it would complain that it couldn’t find it “Error: Attribute Entry-Point-Icon: file cannot be found in the list of packaged file: icon.png”. I had the icon file “icon.png” in my root folder of the ZIP file, same folder as the “blackberry-tablet.xml” file and the “config.xml” file which had the img src= tag pointing to it. So I couldn’t figure out why it couldn’t find the icon file.

Second, in “blackberry-tablet.xml” file, wouldn’t recognize the tag at all, had to erase it also. I received this error also with bbwp when trying to compile: “Warning: unknown category: core.all”. So I got rid of that too.

So after deleting those lines from the blackberry-tablet.xml file, I was finally able to compile the BAR successfully, and load it onto my Playbook. The icon worked fine (guess it used what was in the config.xml file as it ignored the blackberry-tablet.xml). So happy to have my first debug version working!!!

Now time to develop and finish my app… I can’t wait to see what happens when I have to submit to AppwWorld, what kind of grief I am going to encounter. :-)
