Updates the app world VS. your own updates

Hi all

We are preparing to release our application.

My question is, most of you use App World to distribute and update your applications or you roll your own?

My other question is, all blackberry models come with App world installed? App world will settle on the software updates for the older models?

We are trying to determine if we need to create our own update process or piggy back the worlds of the app.

Thanks in advance

App World pushing updates, but the timing of these updates is different and all users do not receive at the same time (I guess for reasons of scalability and efficiency).

You use a credit for each update that you push so if you want to push your own updates via a mechanism of "Check for updates", you can, but it's perhaps easier to push in the App World and let the App World to warn the user.

    Hi guys,.

  • StageWebView - does not support links in the app world

    Anyone who has ideas on how to get StageWebView in your game supporting type links "http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/xxxxx"?

    If you click on one of these links in your html from an instance of StageWebView it reports:

    «Error: the browser doesn't know how to handle web page.»

    This is still part of my quest to provide an easy way to update/display for PlayBook users my other games that are available.  It would be so easy if there was a simple way to open a page of the seller in the app world app of your game.  No really good luck so far.  The idea of StageWebView was great, until I discovered it's the inability to manage the links of appworld.

    OK, so here is how I solved this now:

    private function openAppWorldLink(e:UnknownProtocolEvent):void {
        moreGamesWebView.stop();
        openURL(e.url);
    }
    

    I add an event listener to the QNXStageWebView to a UnknownProtocolEvent instance.  Who is fired off the power as soon as you click on the link "http://appworld.blackberry.com/blah/blah".

    You can see that I don't then stop any additional load (I did because otherwise you see 'ERROR' screen for a bit, and I thought that ugly).

    I then enter the url of the event and open it upwards (this is just a custom function that basically a call navigateToURL on the url string.

    It works great even if you do not see the error screens, it opens to the top of the page of game in appworld and I can update my html page customized each games change/update.

    Thanks for your suggestion to consider the QNX events!

    Hi, I had a search in the forums and knowledge base and has not been able to find an answer to this problem.

    I have a new Blackberry Torch 9810 on O2 to the United Kingdom. I have Blackberry App World installed and I have App update the icons in the my messages folder. Whenever I try to go to my Apps and install updates in the App World, I get the terms and conditions window if poster, I scroll down, click on 'accept' and the window disappears and nothing happens. I click on my Apps again, same thing, window appears again.

    Thanks for your time.

    OK... try this...

    (1) make sure that you already have the RIM desktop software installed on your PC:

    and have executed at least once with your BB attached (so that it can do it's initial configurations).

    (2) attached via the USB port of your PC (the software didn't need to run)

    (3) launch the browser on your PC and go here:

    Leave the plug in install and 'connect' to your BB ID account (via the browser/PC)

    See if that allows things to configure correctly.

  • Why my apps are in the app world, even if it is not "for sale."

    Hi, why my apps for BB10 are in the app world even if it is not "for sale"?

    I don't want them to be shown, because I need to fix some things

    Hi smartek,.

    Can you send me the name of the application (and ID if you have one).  I'll take a look.

    The current Alpha Dev devices are pointing to a different environment, so I want to make sure that your application is not "for sale" in the secondary environment (sounds like they are).

  • Performance of applications in the App World of device but not in the Site

    At 01:00 on Friday, I received an email saying that my app was approved and published for sale, I checked the portal provider and everything was correct. When I searched my app in App World on my PlayBook and my DevAlpha app were found without any problems, but when I tried to search in the App World web site so I can get a link to share, I could not find the app, and it is not listed in my profile App World. Someone at - he already experienced this? Is there a solution? 3 days ago and I did not always share the app because of this problem.

    In addition, I was reading this forum today and I saw vague messages about BB10 apps appears, that is the question? My application is for PlayBook and BB10.

    I can't answer why she does not appear, but you have no need to find where to get a link to it.

    Enter the provider portal and click on manage products. Click on the entry of the application itself, to access the "Edit product" page with the first 'Info' tab product  The first thing listed is an ID, as for my app battery Guru: 'ID 51274.

    Just take any app URL and replace the id with the number for your and you're good.  For my example, guru of the battery is https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/51274 .

    If I have a question about the app that I submitted, anyone knows how do I contact someone about this? I can't find anything on the site and respond to notification emails gets me nowhere.

    Hey miss breeder,.

    that will be tough. If you browse the App World his hell out there because of the new development forums and people have a lot of problems with it. I've read people were emailing RIM all week and no responses were received. But if you post a question here MShom (one of the moderators) usually responds in a timely. The support email is [email protected] I believe. Good luck!

  • Flag to set Autostart on request submit to the App World vendor Portal

    Hi all

    I've been wondering. How the device know if my application will be run automatically at startup (when the device starts up) or not, if my application is installed by the user from the App World?

    I thought that the autostart flag is stored in the Blackberry App descriptor XML file then reflected to the .jad file once I've compiled my app.

    Presentation on the App World vendor Portal requires only the .cod files, not the descriptor xml file or a .jad file.

    The autostart flag is also stored in the .cod file?

    Yes

  • Update App approved 5 days ago, but is still not appear on the app world

    Last week, I sent an update for my application (tooldeTaks Tablet). The app was approved 5 days ago and the good version (1.3.1) appears on the website (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/104389/?lang=en), but the app is not available on app world app on devices. I've opened a support ticket yesterday through the support of app world from the seller (https://www.blackberry.com/profile/?eventId=8109) page, but received no news since. What is the best way to get help in this case?

    Ahh, I see.

    In this case, you'll want to change the devices supported on your two new versions.  Currently, they don't support the Alpha of Dev.

    -Click on manage products
    -Click on the eye (view) in the versions of the application to change column
    -Click on the pen (edit) by the publication containing the bundle to edit
    -Click the "Add Release Version.
    -Click on the pen (edit) in the column of device Support for the package that you want to change

  • My section lost blackBerry smartphones world of the app world in the update

    Hi all

    I'm another who suffered in the update.  Now, I go to my world of appworld and it says no download.  I'm very unhappy about it.   Fortunately, I have found most of the apps that I downloaded in the download folder, but one of them reset and I don't have the activation code or the folder that I bought this particular application, given that my world has no record of it.   Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Smartphone App World for blackBerry error - not available in the App World updated

    BlackBerry has sent me a message that an update was available for one of my apps game 'shoppers paradise '.   When I click on the link to download the upgrade, it gives me an error message that the upgrade is not available via App World.

    Is anyone else having this problem?  BlackBerry is working on this issue?

    Anyone, please help...

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Could have happened to several things:

    (1) the proponent has misidentified something and the AppWorld catalog is messed up now

    (2) RIM has made a mistake and the AppWorld catalog is messed up now

    (3) there may be some technical problem that it blocks

    (4) I don't know there is more...

    As to your question:

    BOBJ says:
    BlackBerry is working on this issue?

    It is impossible for anyone here to know the answer to this. What I suggest is that you contact the developer of the app and report it. They have a different channel in RIM thanks to which they can increase getting AppWorld corrected to properly distribute their application.

    If you want to degenerate into RIM, you through your formal support channel - your carrier.

    Good luck!

  • Lost password for bbidtoken.csk and the need to update the app on the app world

    Hi guys,.

    I took over the development of an application that we have on the world of the app currently, it's a hybrid application (Córdoba), we then use the Web works to compile...

    Problem is that there is no record of the password for the bbidtoken.csk that was used to sign the application in the first place, and now that I need to update, I can't use a new token as fingerprints do not match.

    Any suggestions please?

    You can check if the BlackBerry ID accounts are looking at the package-author-Id value in the MANIFEST. MF file in the META-INF directory in the file bar.  You can extract the file with a utility like WinZip archives (BAR files are essentially ZIP files).

    If you are unable to find a match with BlackBerry ID accounts that you know send me a private message and I can help you to track down.
