Install tools for BlackBerry
To build and sign applications for BlackBerry OS 6, 7, or 10, install the WebWorks tools.
- Download Ripple emulator from the BlackBerry website at https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/download/ and install it.
- Download WebWorks SDK from the same site, at https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/download/, and install it in the folder of the choice.
- (Only for BlackBerry 10) Set the WEBWORKS_HOME environment variable, either locally or on the central build server, to the SDK root folder. The MobileFirst Builder uses this environment variable when it builds BlackBerry 10 applications. On each build, the environment variable value is transferred to native\project.properties.
You must set the WEBWORKS_HOME variable before we start MobileFirst Studio. This variable is important for the normal operation of the client. If we use Ant scripts to build and deploy the application to the device, and the WEBWORKS_HOME value is incorrectly set, the file structure might become corrupted, and produce a new directory with the incorrect WEBWORKS_HOME value.
BlackBerry OS 10 is not supported by the current version of the Application Center.
- Download and install a simulator.
