Code signing applications

Hello

I am in the development of Blackberry for 1 month. Reading on the signature of the request, however I have some doubts.

Please explain since I found no answers until now.

1. When should I think about the signature of my apps or what is the right time to sign? Once the development is finished, or I can sign after that part of the claim is made, check it out on the device and fill again a part of it and new check it out on the device?

2 should I sign my app whenever I make changes in the code and want to deploy on the device to test?

3. based on my knowledge, the same keys provided by RIM can be used for any number of app signing?

and if that is the case, it must be done on the same machine that was used for the first application signing?

Will you please advise me because I am totally confused and I want law put information before proceeding with the signing of the application.

Thank you and best regards.

1. When you use the APIs that are guaranteed and to run this application on real devices, must sign the application. You can find signed class/method of category doc API.

2. must be signed each time when you re build the application and before you deploy on the real device.

3. Yes, you can use the siging for any number on any number of devices and applications. Siging key must be installed on a single computer. It costs $ 20.

  • Do I need to get keys for each registered code signing application?

    I submitted a single application and just about to get my second loan. I read on the net, but he has not seen anywhere if I need one key per app. When I read the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR steps he mentioned that I only need this time. I just want to make sure that I don't have a lot of time before the date limits

    Hey kmitchell,.

    as long as your computer is saved with the current key set, there is no need to ask new ones. You can keep signing an unlimited number of applications using the Sami. don't forget to do the double signature (last to the steps described in the guide) and're you good to go. the golden rule is one key per computer. don't know if this policy has changed. but the same policy find unlimited apps by key. hope that things cleared up. Good luck!

  • Unable to sign applications WebWorks

    Hi all

    I created a Blackberry WebWorks app, which works well in development mode that uses.  However, when I try to add to our BES 12 server I get the following message;

    An error has occurred. The application is not signed correctly and cannot be added.

    I have followed Server guides, but can't seem to make it work.  When the compiled application I get the following error message;

    C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Blackberry\CRM\platforms\blackberry10\build\device\bb10app.bar
    [INFO]    Error: Loading the keystore: C:\Users\myusername\.cordova\lib\blackberry10\cordova\v2.2.0.15\bin\dependencies\bb-tools\bin (access is denied)
    An error has occurred

    This is the guide I used.

    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/HTML5/documentation/v1_0/signing_setup.html

    Now I note that's WebWorks 1.0 and I use WebWorks 2.2 and should have used it;

    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/HTML5/documentation/v2_2/testing_and_signing_setup.html

    So I followed the instructions 2.2 a lot more simple, but nd upward with the same error - access denied.

    Any ideas?

    There are a few possibilities.  There are 2 places of passwords can be set.  In your BlackBerry ID token (bbidtoken.csk) and your developer certificate (author.p12).  The WebWorks SDK requires two of them are the same (because there's only one entry for a password).  If they are different, recreate one of them, so they are doing and try again.

    It can also indicate an error file system permission to access the files required for code signing.  They are located in one of these directories:

    • Windows 8®, Windows 7®, and Windows Vista®: %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Research in motion
    • Windows® XP: %HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application is moving
    • Mac OS: ~/Library/Research in motion
    • UNIX / Linux: ~/.rim

    Check the permissions on these files and folders are correct.

  • Unable to connect BAR file "error: Code signing request failed because it cannot be recorded.»

    Hello

    I'm trying to sign the BAR file generated from the apk files, but I got this error:

    Error: Code signing request has failed because it cannot be recorded. Package-Version-Id [gYACgLU-GLg8YtNMuWU17-BoxsM], [gYAEgM4XsG9ppojbj3zOO9gg-Nc], Id [2189468] Client Application-Version-Id.

    I tried to redownlowd the file CSK again and again, did a lot of things but not luck.

    Thank you for sending via manifest file.  The error is caused by the name of the application you are using.  There is a limitation of the number of characters that can be used for an application name.  The number of characters will vary according to the type of encoding used, in this case it would be 7.

    The workaround for this solution, use our tool is to define an application name by default using Latin based on characters and then add names localized for each supported language.  These localized names do not have this limit.  For comparison, here's how it's done using BlackBerry Momentics: How to define an Application as the characters name Unicode requires the default name would only be used if a localized name is not available for the language of the user.

    Android also supports localized names of applications, so the similar process should work there too.

  • Code Signing - different version of the JDE

    I'm back-porting an application 4.2 to 4.0. I copied the files sigtool directory 'bin' JDE 4.2 in the 'bin' JDE 4.0 directory. However, when I try to sign the COD files, the operation fails. The 'detail' says:

    "The signature on the request of code signing did not check.  The probable cause of this problem is entered an incorrect password. »

    The password is correct and checked several times. There is another reason for this failure? Am I missing a step when you move files sigtool 4.2 back to 4.0?

    The original JDE (the application was developed on) is 4.2.1. One where I am signing is 4.0.2.

    This link explains the changes in version 4.3.0.  It is the only version of the Pack BlackBerry JDE/component where the format of these files has changed.

    What's – the Signature key format changes in BlackBerry JDE 4.3.0

  • problem on mac code signing

    Currently, I just have a problem concerning the signing of the app using webworks api for playbook.

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

    I followed all the instructions to

    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 that I have successfully registered my account because I have the following message in my mailbox:

    An application for registration is completed successfully for the customer "xxx".  The client left or code xxx signing requests.

    The customer has returned the following message is displayed:

    Customer "xxx" registered successfully with the server ID RDK signature and now attempts remaining xxx code signing.

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

    I had the rest of the console message:

  • Need help to request a code signing key

    Hello

    Unfortunately, a forum search has not revealed anything and since I can't find any way to report problems with the site of the developer of the RIM, so... here go us:

    As a first time dev, I just downloaded the SDK and emulator, the I tried to go through the "getting started" doc As a first step, it says:

    "Request permission to sign BlackBerry Tablet OS applications by completing the web form at
    http://developer.blackberry.com/native/beta/signingkey . After your application is accepted, youreceive two CSJ registration files by email. One file allows you to configure your keystore to sign
    applications; the other file allows you to create debug tokens. Each file arrives in a separate emailwith information about the purpose of the file attached."
    

    Well that's where I'm stuck already: after completing this form, when I hit the submit button, all I get is:

    Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier '/' in
    /opt/sites/native/app/libs/sanitize.php on line 451
    Cannot redirect! Headers have already been sent!
    

    So apparently some PHP - guy didn't properly test its code of form validation.

    Saddest:

    The link only I could find reviews of the website was. to http://us.blackberry.com/contact/ (mailto link [email protected]). And send a report to this address just resulted in a response canned (useless), saying that the mail was not delivered, and I should find an alternative care option (followed by several products related links).

    Well: I don't have a problem with products like software development kits, software, peripheral... my prob is the RIM site itself!

    So I hope that some members of the staff on BOARD reads this and can direct me to the appropriate Department...

  • Signature without using Code code signing authority of signatory to basic password file

    I'm trying to restrict access to a store of PersistentObject using code signing. I created the public/private key pair and I also have my. KEY file. When I do following step it work very well:

    • Sign your application using your code signing key standard issued by Research In Motion.
    • Sign that these signed .cod files with the application file signatory in the administration of BlackBerry signature tool.

    But I want to design a signature tool automated using ant tasks.  I am unable to find corresponding Ant task to call the file signing tool.

    Anyone know how to get the code signing to work without using the JDE?

    Thanks in advance

    you need a server to use this signature signature. AFAIK, you sign your apps as before, just with your own signature added server.

    This can be caused by trying to sign the same version of the application.  Try incrementing the value of the version property in your config.xml file (or use the command line parameter - buildId) and sign again.

    You can buy rim, code signing certificates.

    The process details are here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/codekeys.jsp

    Form of payment etc. is here: https://www.blackberry.com/SignedKeys/

    Once you have paid and submitted your application, it takes a few weeks to receive the keys. If you use eclipse, you can then install the keys in your IDE.

  • Free code signing!

    I'm developing an application that requires code signing. The application would serve only on my device and nowhere else.

    I wanted to know if I could get a signing key, i.e. unique access. not massive key free of charge, just for development and deployment.

    Nokia already provides free certificates for the development of general use. Here are some details and a link that best describes.

    http://wiki.Forum.Nokia.com/index.php/S60_3rd_Edition:_Application_Development

    Depending on the features used in an S60 application, there are different ways to sign a request:

    1. Possibility of user: used in an application compatibility are granted during the installation and the application UID should in the unprotected range (0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF). A developer can use SignSis command to sign a .sis file. Please note that the application can only use: LocalServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, NetworkServices, UserEnvironment (S60 3rd Edition FP2, a developer can also use location capability).
    2. Open signed without the Publisher ID: the user must register and sign in to www.symbiansigned.com to download .sis application file. After having successfully downloaded, a developer can get immediately the application signed by the Web site, and the developer can download it from the Web site. This is to test the goal and the signed application can be installed on a mobile device. At the signing, a developer must provide email address valid as well as the number of IMEI (serial number of the phone) device. The signed application is installable within 36 months, and this method is for development purposes.
    3. Open signed with the Publisher ID: a developer must buy a first of TC TrustCenterPublisher ID. For Chinese developers, a developer can go to WoSign for the purchase of a Publisher ID. With the Publisher ID, a developer can request a certificate of developer of the www.symbiansigned.com. Using the certificate, a developer can sign with SignSis command .sis file. This is to test the goal and the certificate is limited by the number of IMEI listed in the certificate (maximum 1000 IMEI numbers to date). This certificate is valid for 36 months, and this method is for development purposes.
    4. Express signed: a developer must have an ID of the Publisher first. The developer has go to www.symbiansigned.com website to connect, and pay 20 USD for such a signature by an application. After you have downloaded the files needed on the site. Immediately, the developer can get the application signed by the Web site, and the developer can download it from the Web site. The signed application is for commercial sales.
    5. Certified signed: a developer must have an ID of the Publisher first. After an application has been fully tested using the Open signed or self-signed method (the request must have a UID between 0x00000000-0x7FFFFFFF), the developer can send the request to one of the 3 named test houses world for detailed testing and little money has to be paid for such a test, although the price may vary a House to another test. After that the application has passed Symbian test criteria, the application may be signed for commercial use.
    6. Symbian signed for Nokia: one of the necessary applications for the pre-installation must pass from the Nokia test criteria, and a developer has to pay for such a test. It has more standards than signed certified, and it should be conducted by 3 named test houses in the world. Detailed information can be found at: www.symbiansigned.com. For developers, who need to use the capabilities of the manufacturer, the developer must present a valid reason to justify the objective of using the features. Once the application has been approved, the developer can use Open signed with the Publisher ID to obtain the certificate required for testing and development. This method is for commercial use
    !

    If a developer wants to sign an application Freeware , please see the article How to sign an application freeware

    RIM is going to take the details of the previous keys and those will be disabled and you get the new.

  • Updated approved App - Code signing?

    Hey guys,.

    today I received the email from the approval of my application so my app is officially in the "approved" State However, I have a small correction about my icon of the application that need attention (just 86 x 86 resizing). Once I made the correction, I'm supposed to respond to the email and say that I did.

    My question is: when I submit the update file with the new icon bar, that I sign the bar file again? Which means that I have to order another set of keys? Anyone can guide me please know exactly how I do this? Do I just rebuild the file bar and not worry the code signing part, or?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!!

    You don't need to send them back. Resign just your bar to deposit with your .p12 file you created when you registered your keys. Don't forget to also get your version in you - app.xml file number as long as you can't sign the same version twice.
