• Port-a-thon awards not received not - yet

  Hello

  I know it's an old, old issue. But I still have not received the part of my port-a-thon to last Chance rewards. I received the confirmation email saying that I am eligible for payments.

  Can someone at BlackBerry please consult about it?

  Thank you

  As the email said 4-6 weeks, they have exceeded this period, for many of us. Patience...

• Community port-a-thon - error with applications accepted/releases

  Hello

  I've had a few requests of BB10 prepared during AllAboard port-a-thon, apps have been accepted, and I got information about the awards.

  Later, I have prepared something new (I improved the UI) and I downloaded the new versions. My problem is that I downloaded last weekend, in the community of port-a-thon. So, yesterday, I received by e-mail with the information that I get rewards of money for my 3 options for use. But it was just a new version, not a new application! I was even not recorded for the ptt community - I have had no new apps so I is not registered myself.

  I think it's unfair, I would ask RIM to stop my payment process for the port-o-thon community (for 3 apps).

   

  BTW: I know not if it is the error of someone or a bug in their system - if it's bug, someone can use it to get money just for new versions.

  I don't know the RIM email where I should send it this information, so for now I send him here, meybe a RIM person find.

  Thanks for reporting this.  I have to inform the owners of program which will focus on this.

• Port-A-Thon not reviewed app!

  Hi guys

  In order to support the bb10, I presented a large number of games for the game port a tuna.
  Is clearly superior to the date of submission of the apps that are not accepted, but there is still a game that has not yet been reviewed.

  Please consult the seller under this mail for it because I don't want to be denied because the sdk was the old or something else.
  He was subjected while wearing a tuna, with the now old sdk and there should be nothing why it cannot be approved.

  Before the release of bb10 I will update all of my games to the latest sdk of course.

  Hello

  Just to confirm, new submission to applications (initially) in the Port-a-Thon can still occur. The approval time is December 23. Which means that if your new layout is in (and approved) by App World before this date, then it still counts toward the Port-a-Thon.

  Best bet would be to get in contact with the team of App World directly here:

  https://www.BlackBerry.com/profile/?EventID=8109

  That being said, tomorrow we release the gold/OS SDK, so my recommendation for all new presentations would be repackaging/test with those and then submit. With the deadline extended on new presentations, which gives a bit of flexibility with the new tools.

  The important part is that on December 23 is the deadilne approval (i.e. App World must have approved it at that time), not the deadline "submitted". So send it back the sooner you, the better.

• Emails from last Chance Port-a-thon

  Hello

  I have been involved for the last Chance 5 port-a-thon and submitted applications. Whose 3A approved last week, and the other 2 were refused.

  But today, I received 2 e-mails from BlackBerry that says all my 5 apps are eligible for rewards. It's ok that I saw that they allow us to resubmit rejected applications.

  And the email contains this:

  Hello

  as the e-mail, the deadline had been extended.

  so don't worry, just resubmit your request

• Port-a-thon: I forgot to sign

  Dear support!

  I forgot to fill out the forms required for completing the last android port-a-thon event, well I sent a few apps brought the period of 36 hours.

  My question is: can I participate in this event and get the reward? I would appreciate if you could help me.

  Thanks for your response!

  It is solved by getting the e-mail address of the apps that I submitted. (They attend the event)

  Thank you!

• Port-o-thon apps get a higher priority than other applications?

  My app has remained without any notice of approval or rejection on the portal provider since 10 January. Monday is the deadline BFB and my app even has not yet been approved. Yet I hear thousands of app flowing for port-marathons. What is going on? Port-o-thon apps are pushed in front of the priority queue?

  As you got ahead of the date limit Jan. 11, you should be able to rely on their guarantee that it will be approved before the deadline BFB. Presumably, if they cannot make their own commitment, he will come with something... maybe extend the period beyond 21 Jan BFB.

• Awards for the first event of port-a-thon

  Someone had the e-mail confirmation that rewards will be delivered on games that are approved?

  I have more than 2 games approved, but I do not get a reward or a reward of device.

  I am worried because in the event of port-a-thon to say if a person cannot be contacted within 14 days before the first test, the person will be disqualified.

  If any person BlackBerry can talk, I'll be very grateful.

  For the Portathon #BBGotGame we only sent emails to developers with all of their approved applications.  The final decision threshold was on Dec 23' rd, and we will release the final emails on Thursday or Friday.

  If for any reason, there is a mistake we find and fix.  We will not disqualify you.

  Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.

  See you soon

• Model of pricing and payment changes

  Hello

  just introduced us our first application within the Game Port-A-Thon event. We have put a price of sample based on our other experiences, but when we think highly of switch to a free app with in-app purchases.

  We could not get a definitive answer over that same about the change in pricing. more specifically paid in francs.

  Is it possible in the first place? If not can we remove the current application and present it again as a free application with in-app purchases?

  Still not sure if this is the path that we will take, but normally, it can be done if a few clicks on the AppStore of Windows 8, but also the itunes store.

  Hi djogon,

  The side portal provider, you cannot switch between free<>paid once an application is created/submitted.

  We can, however, change this for you on the backend by contacting seller Support, you should get a reply back within 24 hours.

• Strange behavior of a new presentation app

  Hello

  On a total of 7 apps I submitted during the last Chance port-o-thon, there were 2 rejected due to an issue related to orientation. But I have fixed that and them again shortly after the rejection of emails.

  Already an app has been approved and is on sale now (see: ColorSeya). But other shows: "project. 1 open cRs. And the 'Send for review' link is displayed under the name of the application. When I click on the link under the heading broadcasts (here, '2'), it shows 1 output as "Declined" and another 1 "under review".

  No idea why this is? Is it really considered or even not sent for review?

  @Winnie I answered your PM, so is there anything you can do about it.

• LabelButton - crushed?

  Someone has it seen on the other since the last update on the dev alpha?

  When you are in the debug - no problem.

  When you post your app for free - the police having fun.

  I have this on two applications of port-a-thon.  No idea how fix em without rebuilding the whole class...

  

  

  Its strange. I use the LabelButton in many apps and they work very well in the debugging and output mode. Something could happen to.

• The file of the bar - descriptor.xml (and make the application of command line)

  I made a game with air and it is online for sale on Android and iOS. It is somewhat popular and I thought to put up on Blackberry for quite awhile now and with the Port of soon-to-start-A-Thon, this seems to be a great time to finally make it.

  BlackBerry is not very common that here where I live in Sweden, however it still looks like an interesting with a potential platform if I want to get the trip. Unfortunately I don't own a camera myself so I'll use the Simulator. With some graphic problems with the simulator when running in mode BB10DevAlpha (icons does not appear right) and the Simulator is very slow when running in mode BB10DevAlphaSafe (chart appears on the right, but it seems that updating them requires more CPU my computer are available).

  The game is built using nothing other than Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and a bunch of command line tools to build the package and sign. I've only got an old computer with Windows XP now since the death of my main PC, all at the time and since the Port-A-Thon is just a few days I do with what I got.

  Firstly I understand that only AIR 3.1 is supported by Blackberry 10, so I use the old AIR SDK 3.1 to create a SWF (flash) file.

  What I really need to do should be used in the exported SWF file of the game, then use the command line tools provided by RIM to build the package, right?

  Except that I did not count on bar - descriptor.xml to be so difficult to understand.

  I was brought to the documentation here: https://developer.blackberry.com/air/documentation/bb10/bar-descriptor_config_file.html

  It says Adobe AIR at the top, the platform selected is Blackberry 10 and the title says "bar-descriptor configuration file", so it must be in the right place!

  I start by trying the 'bar-descriptor configuration example file"on this page:

  ===========================================================

  Of course during the test I replaced a few things in the example above with the correct filenames for images etc, I just copied the example of right - off this time to you guys show what I mean.

  Firstly, I extract "blackberry-tablets-sdk - 3.0.0" in a folder on the disc, then I make sure as a full path to the "bin" in the SDK folder inside the path on the OS environment variable.

  Then I read on "Applications of Test using the command line": https://developer.blackberry.com/air/documentation/bb10/testing_your_application_cmd_ms_2010851_11.h...

  Now I run:

  BlackBerry - airpackager.bat - package installApp - blackberry-myappname - new.bar - launchApp myappname-blackberry-bar - descriptor.xml myappname.swf myappnameicon86.png bg splashscreen1024.png - device 192.168.8.128

  Note that "bg" is a folder with 500 images that must be accessible from the app. I hope that I can just add the folder like this and not type a path to each image file...

  What I get (in lib\adt.jar via the bat file):

  error 101: Namespace is missing
  Error: Validation of the AIR is not

  Okay, so the example did not straight on the box.

  Now, I've read all paragraphs in the first URL I linked above ("the bar-descriptor configuration file"). I start my own XML file and make sure to include everything that is marked as "necessary". That's what I'm left with:

  ===========================================================

          com.mydomain.myappname
          My App name

  ===========================================================

  I have no idea of what concerns the block whole call target, but it took, so he must be there.

  Now I launch (notice that myappnameicon86.png is gone since no icon is mentioned in the above XML code, it is not mandatory):

  BlackBerry - airpackager.bat - package installApp - blackberry-myappname - new.bar - launchApp myappname-blackberry-bar - descriptor.xml myappname.swf bg splashscreen1024.png - device 192.168.8.128

  Yet once, I get:

  error 101: Namespace is missing
  Error: Validation of the AIR is not

  Frustrated I get autour on the forums for answers, because the official documentation is nowhere getting me.

  I'm left with this:

  ===========================================================

  ===========================================================

  Looks like the XML code that I use when I build for Android.

  First of all it doesn't have the tag root of qnx, but also nothing of the icons are of the required size (86 x 86). The tag required splashscreens and invoke target is also absent, to name a few. No idea of what the entire block of 'extensions' really do.

  Surely, this does not work:

  BlackBerry - airpackager.bat - package installApp - blackberry-myappname - new.bar - launchApp myappname-blackberry-bar - descriptor.xml myappname.swf QNXDevice.ane QNXNetwork.ane QNXSensors.ane QNXSkins.ane myappnameicon36.png myappnameicon48.png myappnameicon72.png bg-device 192.168.8.128

  Success in building the package BAR to my infinite surprise!

  He even managed to install on the Simulator. An icon for the game. However when it auto-couru the app went into landscape, thought for a second and then crashed (or you leave?) without a message.

  Perhaps because the required qnx tag was missing in the XML?
  Perhaps because images in the bg file could not be loaded?
  Perhaps because he had no permission to keep screen from dimming?

  I have no idea. I tried to add XML to qnx at the address previous to the bar - descriptor.xml, I thought that maybe he needed both the qnx block for when you run the application and the application block for when packaging. But now, he has complained of something like XML is not not clean ("' fatal error: markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed." ").

  So he came to it, I have to ask for help if I ever make the deadline of the Port-A-Thon.

  (1) how am I supposed to write the bar - descriptor.xml?
  (2) what command line starting by "blackberry - airpackager.bat" is OK to use?
  (3) all I have to do is build the SWF using Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and then pack it using the Blackberry SDK, right?

  First of all, there are two xml files that you need.

  One is called the manifesto, is to AIR and is called yourappname- app.xml. It is identical to the ones you use for Android and IOS, though some elements will be ignored. It's one you need to switch on the command line, and is probably causing the 'Namespace' missing error message. A file manifest a minimum is:

  
  http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1">
  
      com.example.appname
      My Fabulous Game
      1.0.0
  
      FileNameOfYourSwfWithoutExtension
      YourCompanyName
      
          [This value will be overwritten by Flash Builder in the output app.xml]
          true
          false
          none
          cpu
          false
      
  
  

  Replace the text in red with your own stuff.

  The second xml file is called to the bar of descriptor. It is for App World and the installation process and is called bar - descriptor.xml. It contains information about signing code, icon, permissions etc. A simple bar - descriptor.xml is:

  
  
     
        none
        true
        landscape
        false
        cpu
     
  
     
     your-name-on-certificate
     your-id-on-certificate
  
     core.games
  
     
     1
  
     
     
        icon86x86.png

     access_shared
     access_internet
     play_audio
     set_audio_volume
  
  

  Make sure that you at least change the red dots.
