Answer 1

Technical details

The problem is in the way how DDPB utility try install the debug token. This utility try to install debug token application as usual blackberry application and sent INSTALL request (looks like it use -installApp param instead -installDebugToken param), you can see this information in output:

Info: Sending request: INSTALL
Info: Action: Install
Info: File size: 2645
Info: Installing ...
Info: Processing 2645 bytes
actual_dname::
actual_id::
actual_version::
result::failure 500 invalid action install_2

But the output should look like:

Info: Sending request: INSTALL_DEBUG_TOKEN
Info: Action: Install Debug Token
Info: File size: 2646
result::success

Solution

Use BB10 / PlayBook App manager plugin for chrome, it install debug tokens properly.

P.S. Also you can always install it via CLI utility blackberry-deploy

Answer 2

You can also change the ant script to include the correct command:

<exec executable="${blackberry-deploy}" dir="." failonerror="true">
    <arg value="-installDebugToken" />
    <arg file="${properties.qnx.bbwp.dir}/debugtoken.bar" />
    <arg value="-device" />
    <arg value="${properties.qnx.device.ip}" />
    <arg value="-password" />
    <arg value="${properties.qnx.device.password}" />
</exec>
