AIR application fails to install on BlackBerry Playbook

Question

I'm trying to install an AIR mobile (flex) application on BlackBerry Playbook. The application failed to installed with this following error message " failure 821 Application-requires-system :unrecognized system name "BlackBerry10"

I am using AIR 3.1 SDK and I am using Adobe and Blackberry ANEs to build the app.

Is the AIR SDK I am using (3.1) is correct for Playbook ? It DOES work for all other BlackBerry device.. ? Any ideas what might cause this ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

AIR doesn't officially support BlackBerry 10, only the previous generation (BlackBerry 8, I think?). AIR 3.1 is nearly 2 years old at this point, too, so it doesn't support much of anything. Adobe stopped developing for Blackberry in 3.4 or 3.5, I believe. The only way to develop for BlackBerry 10 is to use the third-party SDKs for AIR provided by BlackBerry itself

Answer 2

You need to compile your app with the BlackBerry PlayBook AIR SDK and not the one for BlackBerry 10. I had the same issue some time ago.

(Also I'm not sure if AIR 3.1 is supported, I think it's only AIR 3 or AIR 2.7)
