Blackberry Code Signing and OTA distribution

Question

I have a Blackberry project developed in Eclipse using the Blackberry Plugin for Eclipse. The app works 100% fine in the simulators.

I have a signing key set from Blackberry, and I can sign the application package fine (it goes off and does 70 odd signings with Blackberry, I get back no errors).

However, when I try and use the OTA files in deliverables/Web/4.6.1/ I get the following error on the Blackberry device:

Error starting My_App:
Module
‘My_App’
Attempts to 
Access a secure API.

Which is a bit surprising since as far as I am concerned, I am signing the app!

I did notice that the code signing tool references the .cod file in deliverables/Standard/4.6.1/ and nowhere mentions the Web/ directory, so what am I doing wrong? I cannot see any settings to force Eclipse or the Blackberry plugin to sign the Web/ set of files, so what am I missing?

Answer 1

Have you tried deliverables/Standard/4.6.1/ instead?

Answer 2

You got this error because your app is not signed by blackberry. See: http://blog.crowe.co.nz/blog/archive/2007/07/11/BlackBerry-Code-Signing-101.aspx
