Will a java based (OS5) BBM connected app be able to list the contacts who use the bb10 version of the app, if both apps use the same UUID ?
I would like to release a bb10 app with the same uuid as used in bb7 app, if the bb10 app can download the list of contacts who use the bb7 app.
Yes, as long as they are both releases in the same product in BlackBerry World.

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'm working on a BlackBerry WebWorks app that connects to the Blackberry Messenger Platform. However, a user's device must have at least BBM v6 before a webworks app can connect to the BBM platform on such device.
Now, the challenge is, I need to be able to know the version of BBM running on the user's device so I can display an appropriate message telling the user to upgrade if the user does not meet the BBM platform requirement.
How do I go about this?
Thanks in advance.
If you want to know the version of the BBM installed in the Device. Look at the BBMProxyDemo within the BBM SDK it shows how to get this info.

Can I create the Flex application for Windows Mobile and Blackberry phone and how?
At this point in time I do not believe that either are officially supported by Adobe. You can write apps for the BB Playbook, but not for their phones.
Will a Blackberry smartphone application written in the Java api work on the Playbook without modification?
According to RIM, once the JDE player is released, they will have to be re-packaged which may require re-compiling, to run on the PlayBook. The same applies to Android applications. In either case you will not be able to download native JDE or Android apps and run them on the PlayBook.
The only application SDK path that allows for BlackBerry Smartphone applications to run both on BBOS, Playbook and BlackBerry 10 is the HTML5 WebWorks SDK

Best of luck to you.
Yes, RIM has announced that they will release a virtual machine which will play your existing blackberry app. I'm not sure if developers have to re-submit their blackberry apps though.
Playbook will also support Android apps, but developers will have to recompile their apps and submit those to App World.
