Testing Android APK on Blackberry running Android Jellybean

687 Views Asked by At

A user is trying to test an app which I created on Eclipse with the Android Plug-in. They have a BB10 device that is running jellybean. The app has not been released yet so it is currently signed with a debug token. When they try to install the app (I sent them the APK file via email) using an APK installer, they get the error "The installation failed because signature verification failed". Is there anyway to fix this so they can run the app and test it on their device?

To install an application that is only signed by a debug token, the device has to have that debug token installed on it.

The supported way to have customers 'beta' test a BB10 application is to sign it with your BlackBerry signing key, uploaded it to BlackBerry world, but don't submit it for approval. Add the BBID of the customer to your BlackBerry World sandbox. The customer can then enable development mode of the device, select development mode in BlackBerry World and enter the AppID or SKU of your application and get the latest version even if not yet approved.

The other option is to produce and sign a production ready APK with your Android development tools and send that to the customer.

try using the commandline tool to convert and directly push it to BB device.
