Signature keys and code updates - bugs fixed and improvements

Apologies if I put this thread in a wrong forum. Please feel free to move.

I have a few questions about code signing and approval of the request and I would be really grateful to anyone who could please help me with that.

1. I bought a single set of keys to sign my .cod files to deploy the portable device of code signing. Should I get an authorization from RIM or BB to deploy my application on a device in the following cases - i) if I want to use BB App store, ii) if I don't want to use BB App store and load the application manually from a PC, iii) if I want to use another installation for deployment outside BB OTA.

2. for updates in my current application for example bug corrections or improvements, I needed to buy a new set of keys for code signing or those I bought previously would do the job (assuming that I sign my files from the same workstation COD).

3. If the old code signing keys would be sufficient for the same application, but with some bug fixes and improvements, what all would I need to update either in my camera (if the application is deployed on the device) or on the BB App store.

4. what happens to jar files? I also need to load jar files in my handheld device to run the application? If so, then I need to update the jar files in the event of bug fixes?

Please help me on the above questions because my project is in a very critical stage now. I will be really grateful.

Thanks in advance a ton.

Your set of keys (files *.csi and sigtool.*) can be used for unlimited applications and for unlimited signatures.

There is no limitation for you.

Just make a backup of your key (*.csi and sigtool.* files) and restore JDE/bin folder when necessary.

This means that all the files of new/updated cod to date could be signed with the same key set?

You can use the keys that you have already bought for new and updated and you want cod files.

There is no need to buy these keys again.

  • Signature keys 10 BB

    Team dear Blackberry,

    I signed up for BlackBerry 10 signature key and generated the file bbtoken.csk but do not have the other files needed for the signature.

    Its been more than 15 days and my development process has stopped because of signing keys. I contracted management of the seller, they redirected me to post querry on the support forum for the seller. When I posted my querry here, they took me here. Let me know how long is this redirect loop and when don't I have a solution to my querry.

    I am struck at halfway of the development just because of signing keys. Please solve my querry before I realize, blackberry application development has been my biggest mistake.

    Come back as soon as possible, what to do next.

    Best regards

    If you are using the latest tools all you need is your BlackBerry ID chip (bbidtoken.csk).  Old method of signature used by our old tools made use of LSB files probably refer you.

    If you are using older versions of the tools, you can request files SJC will be sent to you by choosing the second option on the order form ("apps for BlackBerry PlayBook, BlackBerry 10 apps development using a 10.1 or lower SDK or BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK under 2.0.").

    If you do not use this method, be sure to link these keys to your account BlackBerry ID so that it is recoverable.  Details on that can be found here:

  • Cannot connect widget - unable to find signature keys

    About 1 year ago, I installed Eclipse and plugin BB to develop java applications of BB. I had bought and installed signature keys and was able to sign the apps very well at the time.

    Then, I want to write a 'widget' using the new (for me) web plugin for eclipse. The only way I could get that work was by installing the all-in-one "BlackBerry Web plug-in in Eclipse" (the package that has the correct version of eclipse plugin extension). The only problem is that I can't sign widgets.

    So, in summary, I have two versions of Eclipse on my computer:

    1. a version with the blackberry java plug-in for making java applications (that I could sign)

    2. the version with the blackberry widget plugin to make apps widget (I can not sign)

    The error I get from the BlackBerry Web/Widget to eclipse version when I try to sign my widget is:

    Cannot connect widget - unable to find signature keys

    Do I need to import the key somehow (wherever they are) of the old version of Eclipse for the 'new' or perhaps reinstall?

    Or even buy them?

    Note: I still have the original files of .csi 3 If this is useful

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...

    Thank you for your response. I had sent dev support and received the following response (which is essentially the same thing you said):

    Please contact BlackBerry Application Development Support.

    When you install your signing keys, first they are only registered with a JDE 1. Specifically, most recently installed JDE on your machine. Following these steps, you should be able to activate the privileges of your signature for all d located on your computer:

    (1) locate your signing keys by searching your computer for sigtool.db. You can find several files of sigtool.db, but you are looking for the sigtool.db that, if opened with a text editor, you see references to all three signatories (RBB, RRT and CPR) as follows:

    #The file of database containing information to request signatures.
    #[DATE]
    RBB = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/BBApps
    RRT = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/Runtime
    CPR = [CLIENT_ID] http\: / /www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/CryptoRIM

    You can find this file, go to the next step if we can deliver a set of replacement of signature keys, free of charge.

    (2) COPY the 4 following four files in the same folder as you find the sigtool.db file in:
    -sigtool.db
    -sigtool.set (if this file does not exist, it is good to ignore it).
    -sigtool.csk
    -SignatureTool.jar

    (3) If you are using Eclipse 3.5.1 or more, there is a shared folder where you can PASTE your signature files, by default:
    C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde\vmTools

    If the vmTools folder does not exist, you will need to PASTE the 4 four files for each component pack individually, by default:
    C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpackx.x.x_x.x.x.x\components\bin (where x.x.x_x.x.x.x is the version of the component Pack.)

    If you use BlackBerry JDE, please note that there is no shared folder. You will need to associate each individual JDE with the privileges of your signature and PASTE the files in each associated BIN folder:
    C:\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE x.x.x\bin (being the JDE version x.x.x.)

    Finally, if you are using BlackBerry Widgets, you can PASTE the files in the next BIN folder, by default:
    C:\Program search in Motion\BlackBerry Widget Packager\bin

    By copying the files of four 4 and sticking them in the BIN of your d files, you copy your signature to these can thus privileges. Please note that this approach will allow the privileges of signature for all on a 1 d machine, but will not work for d on other machines; signature keys cannot be installed on 1 machine.

    If you have any questions about the process described above, feel free to contact me.

  • Do I need to click on the element secure when you ask for the signature key

    I also demand access to the course element (what is?) »

    or should I leave it.

    You simply check this box if your application requires access to the built-in secure element of NFC on BlackBerry OS 7.x and lower.  Usually, if you don't know what it is, you need not.

  • Relocation of signature keys

    Hello

    I started to learn how to develop widgets for the Blackberry and I need signature keys. 1 year ago, I bought the keys and installed on my laptop but now I after reinstall the Sagna to my laptop I can install new signature keys and I can't remember the PIN number I have provided.

    RIM will give me the PIN number and allows me to install signature keys again or I have to buy again?

    Thank you

    RIM gave me once again the keys without charge in 1 day of my request.

    I'm pretty happy with the level of service.

  • I get the following message:-Firefox 35.0.0.5486 this new version of Firefox contains important security and bug fixes and page offers much improved making it

    I have received several messages inviting me to download the software updates that I use. I think they are attempts to get help with phishing or such. The last "software update available" amplifies - "this new version of Firefox contains an important security and bug fixes, and much improved page rendering times offer." Is generated by anyone at Mozilla, or automatically in Mozilla? Mozilla distributes these types of messages? That Firefox is updated automatically, then these messages should have no useful function except to help with the download of some intrusive camera, which I did not need. Are there plug-ins that I should throw?

    Upgrade to Firefox 35 is currently limited and not everyone gets the new update offered at this time.
    If this is the case for you, then you can manually update via help > topic.

  • . CSK recovered, .p12 and .db signature keys but will not restore. (error:-56)

    I could get my signature keys deleted from the hard drive, but when I select to restore, or place them in the research in motion folder I get the error "error loading certificate: toDerInputStream rejects the tag type - 56.

    Where can I find the code for this?

    If the BlackBerry ID token is here (bbidtoken.csk) then the signing tools will use.  If it is not related to your signing keys earlier, it will cause the BlackBerry World error you mention.

    The developer certificate (author.p12) can be replaced without affecting the "scale" of your application.

    The main files, you must restore are barsigner.csk and barsigner.db.  The .db file is text, so you can open it with a text editor and search for corruption.  So here's what I recommend (keep a backup copy of any file modified below).

    1. Create a new developer (author.p12) certificate in Momentics by going into the Preferences, BlackBerry, signature window, create a certificate.
    2. Remove your BlackBerry ID token (bbidtoken.csk)
    3. Check the barsigner.db for corruption.
    4. Try to connect.

    If the signature is successful replace the token BlackBerry ID and link your old keys to your BlackBerry ID account

    These terms are almost universally used to mean the same thing.  Just different terminology.  Your Windows product key is the proof that you have a valid license to use the software contract (you don't "own" Windows, you rent just the license to use it)
