I made a very simple application using Automator to "Get Specified URLs". I saved it as an application on my desktop, but whenever I click on the icon to open the application, it does not run. No dialogs or errors were returned. I am using High Sierra, which is the OS my computer was shipped with (no recent updates) What might be the reason behind this?
In order to make the URLs open upon launching of the app, you will need to add the "Display Webpages" action to display the webpages you have chosen.

I am developping a mobile application using Cordova. This application allows users to navigate in a kind of a file manager and allows them to download files. I use the plugin "FileTransfer" to download the file on the user's device and then call the InAppBrowser (version 0.5.2) plugin in order to open it.
While it works really great under Android, I can't say the same under iOS (tested under versions 7 and 8).
This is the line of code I use to open the downloaded file:
window.open(entry.toURL(), "_system");
Under Android, it proposes the user which application he wants to launch to open the file or launches automatically the default application based on the file extension. Under iOS, the file is downloaded and then nothing happens. I have found out I could use the integrated viewer of the InAppBrowser plugin when the user is under iOS. I do that in this way:
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone|iPod|iPad/))
window.open(entry.toURL(), "_blank");
else
window.open(entry.toURL(), "_system");
With these lines of codes, if the user is under iOS, the integrated viewer is launched and displays the file. The problem is for ZIP files or other files that can't be rendered in the viewer. This one says "Load Error".
I think that if "_system" worked, Safari would be launched and would propose the user how he wants to open the file.
Does anybody have an idea of how I can make "_system" worked in iOS? Is this eventually a known problem (I couldn't find anything related to my problem)?
If this can be relevant to my problem, I use Phonegap Build in order to generate the .ipa file.
On iOS when you use _system, it try to open the url you pass with safari.
As iOS have sandbox access limitations, safari can't open the url because it's inside your app sandbox.
You can try this plugin, it provides an "open with" dialog that will show you the apps that support the type of file you want to open if any available.

I have read all of the posts about c9 being a very poor experience on a touch device but most of the posts are based on being unable to access the file structure (dbl click).
Has anyone been able to use the terminal from an iPad keyboard? I have a light rails app that I can leave most of the tabs open (saving the dbl click issue) but cannot use a KB in the terminal which means being unable to run the rails console or my app easily.
The ACE editor used in Cloud9 does not properly work on mobile devices yet. There is an issue open to add that but as far as I know it is not currently being worked on. We are considering to create a stripped down IDE for mobile at some point but we don't have an ETA for it yet.
I have a Blackberry application. This application downloads then plays a video file.
I am trying to switch to a model where the video is bundled in with the application inside the res/media/ folder.
The only chane in the application was making the input stream that gets displayed on the Player come from the file in res/media/ rather than the file stored in the media storage of the device. I did not change anything else related to any View components.
But now when I try to start the application I get an error dialog that says:
"Error starting [myAppName]: Class 'net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ButtonField' not found."
Since I did not change anything related to a ButtonField why would I be getting this error now that the video is bundled in?
By adding the video file it made it so that my project had many additional files that needed to be signed. They all get signed correctly. But when the application is launching I get messages in the console that say something like
CMM: [MyAppName] no sig from 0x33
which I did not get when the video wasn't bundled with the resources. Is this somehow related to my problems?
My application does not even get a chance to begin. I have log statements at the beginning that I never see. It fails before it even begins.
The error you are receiving indicates that your app is too large. In my experience there is a practical limit of around 5MB for an application, any more than this and you will run into these strange 'class not found' errors.
Try adding a smaller video file to see whether the problem goes away.
CMM: [MyAppName] no sig from 0x33 means that [MyAppName] has not been signed with a code signing key identified by 0x33. This key is only available to applications produced by RIM, and can be ignored by your application. Dont worry about it.we see it all the time.
I suspect you are trying to test your app in the emulator. try your app in device and see what happens.
Also i dont think its a good idea bundling a video in your app as it will increase the size of the app significantly. You can download the app on startup and save it in filesystem. There is a limit of about 15 MB for a blackberry app. check this http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Testing-and-Deployment/The-maximum-size-of-a-BlackBerry-smartphone-application/ta-p/1300209
Have you changed the JDE you use in this project? Newer JDEs are not compatible with previous OS. I have encountered same problem before, some UI components are not available after I changed JDE to 4.7.
We have developed an application for 8830 Device and its working fine.
The problem that we are facing now is that, we are unable to delete the application from the device.
We selected the application, pressed the menu button, but dont find any delete option.
We went to the applications list, through advanced options, but surprisingly we dont see our application in that that applications list(By Deploying the same application in higher devices such as 9630 and 9550,9800) we see a delete option, by pressing menu and also see our application in the options->application list.
We went to modules, and identified the modules of the application, but there also we were not able to find the delete option in it.
We also tried using the blackberry desktop software too, but in vain, we dont find our application in that list too
** The current device we are using is not configured with any BES(We are registered with the BIS) And moreover, we are able to delete the yahoo messenger, gtalk, twitter from the mobile except our application(It just behaves like some shortcut).
Do we need to add some extra lines of code in any class so that it gets identified as an application.Kindly help on this.
Thanks in advance,
Dheeraj Jami
Usually when an application installed via BB Desktop Manager + .alx file or wirelessly (Browser + jad file) the application is listed in the applications list and can be deleted by end-user without any problems.
But if the application installed via javaloader or cod file created automatically via RIM SDK then the application won't be listed in the application list.
The working way to delete unwanted cod file(s) is using javaloader.exe that comes with JDE distribution package.
Connect your device to the desktop computer via usb-cable and type the command in command line, when you are in folder where javaloader.exe located:
javaloader -usb erase -f unwantedfile.cod
and press Enter
Do we need to add some extra lines of code in any class so that it gets identified as an application.
No, you don't. From my experience it just happens sometimes with BlackBerries. In this case the only way to get rid of it is to pull the battery out of the device. This action resets the device to its factory state (all apps installed by user will be lost).
I have written an application that injects some menu items in other BlackBerry applications (for example a "bookmark this page" menu item in the BlackBerry browser). I have configured the application to be run automatically at startup (of the device) so when the device starts, the menu items are installed in the other applications.
However, I would also like to have my application started directly after installation (via OTA), so the menu items are directly available to the user. Is there a way to accomplish this without having the user to reboot the device or manually start the application after installation?
Autostart applications should run
automatically after they have been
installed. What could have happened
is the application tried to autostart,
but didn't have the permissions to do
what it wanted and failed with a
ControlledAccessException. Often this
can be seen as the application failing
to start, but in fact it did start but
just wasn't allowed to do what it
tried to do.
Check the event log on the BlackBerry
(alt+lglg). You should see an entry
for your application being started
after it was installed.
