We are in a need to develop the native app which should target both 7 and 10 OS version in BB devices. The app should support webview (load external url in the native app).
By analysing in BB support site, there are native SDKs available for 10 but i could not conculde if there any single SDK that would support both 7 and 10 OS.

I dont find much details about the best develpment tool to target both the OS.
Please help me
Thanks,
DD
Unfortunately you can't develop an App to target both OS7 and BB10 devices.
BlackBerry 10 and BBOS7 are as alike as iOS and BBOS7, they don't share ANYTHING. You have to treat them completely different.

I am trying use IOS Simulator/Emulator or iOS SDK in windows PC for Mobile application Test.Is it possible to install IOS Simulator/Emulator or iOS SDK in windows PC
No you cannot do this legally but you can test your app on any platform by uploading your app on app.io and just run it anywhere.
NO, You need Apple Device (iMac, Macbook, Mac Mini) to develop iOS Applications and iPhone/iPad for Testing on devices. Apple provides Xcode it's Integrated Development Environment Tool only for the MAC. Please use Apple Devices, register for Developer program and use their resources. click on https://developer.apple.com for all the info.
Have you heard about the virtual box..?, It may fulfill your need. It will run the windows macintosh (hackintosh) on it. You can develop apps there and see your apps on simulator too. The main task is to download a working macintosh set up in a virtual box. You can get many tutorials for it on google. If you need any help, please revert to me, Thanks :)
I developed one application in Blackberry OS 6.I deployed that app in to Blackberry world successfully.But it is not working in Blackberry OS 10.I am getting following error:
Unsupported for this device
Please help me how to run application in OS 10.
Thanks in Advance.
OS10 is a completely different system. It no longer supports the BB6/7 Java environment. You will need to port your app to one of the new supported platforms:
http://developer.blackberry.com/develop/platform_choice/index.html
Cascades (c++ & qml)
Webworks
Android
Adobe Air
With WebWorks it is possible to run your application in both BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry 10, you may need to make some changes to your code, but it is certainly possible and there are plenty of resources available.
You can start from here.
Specifically BlackBerry states:
Your BlackBerry WebWorks app can be targeted to run on a variety of
BlackBerry device models or ported to a different OS, such as iOS or
Android.
Developing your app with BlackBerry WebWorks gives you the flexibility
to target users of the latest BlackBerry devices and those who are
using older models. Depending on the OS you want to target, versions
of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK available for:
BlackBerry 10
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry 7 and earlier
See here for a tutorial on creating an application which is able to work on old and new BB devices (Simple Hello World application).
A good article to look at can be found here, which explains some of the fundamentals and differences with webworks.
I want to make an app for windows 8, this app should have a built-in print functionality.
I know that Ios sdk support printing for AirPrint-capable printers, how about Windows 8 SDK?
Yes Windows store apps do support printing, here're the links to API, quick start and guidelines for starters.

Please tell me will BlackBerry application till OS 7.1 work for new BlackBerry OS version 10?
It wouldn't work if it's written in java. If you used webworks,html5 etc, it will work on os 10
At BlackBerry10Jam London yesterday, it was said on stage that in future RIM aim to offer support for apps that ran on previous versions of BB OS. By that I guess they mean they are looking to adapt the Android App support they have for BB 10 (which is in effect a java/dalvik runtime within which you can run some Android apps). No time frames though.
I have a Blackberry 6 Application and I want to convert it to Blackberry 5 Application is there any way I can make it
Can I some way use Blackberry 6 library in Blackberry 5 OR I have to do it all over again for Blackberry 5
So you have an app you created for BlackBerry OS6 and now you want it to work on Blackberry OS5 as well.
You cannot use Blackberry OS6 specific libraries in BlackBerry OS5 . There is nothing like a compatibility package like in Android which will allow you to use new APIs on old operating systems. You will have to build your app based on the old OS5 APIs.
Download the Blackberry OS5 JDE and compile your app, it could throw a lot of errors, if not, happy days. If yes, then you need to find third party libraries, or write your own, to create similar functionality in OS5 as well. If you would like to keep the OS6 APIs in your code base, you can use preprocessors to create the binaries for different OS versions.
Using a preprocessor, you can use OS6 APIs for OS6 onwards, and other APIs for OS5 onwards.
You can Compile your code with JRE 5.Then you can use this code in any OS 5,6,7.But you can't use JRE 6 in 5.
