For my course curriculum I need to work on blackberry mobile app development for Blackberry Z10 mobile.
I googled a lot and found that I need Momentics IDE, I got Momentics IDE and installed it on windows 10, but opening, it says can not connect to internet.
It could not get API levels so I am unable to make project using cascades.
The official developers page on blackberry site does not have momentics IDE.
Please tell me which IDE can I use to make apps for Blackberry Z10 mobile, or how to get SDKs for momentics IDE.
If somebody have developement IDEs, SDKs etc please share with me.
I know it is outdated but I need it. Please help me.
I am searching web but not getting and IDE functional IDE now in 2022. Please help me.
Thanks.
Infrastructure that supported BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 was shut down on January 4th, 2022. This includes resources required for development. Tools for developing apps for these platforms were also removed from the BlackBerry web site. You can find the official announcement here: https://www.blackberry.com/us/en/support/devices/end-of-life
How to make an IOS App with cordova on Windows 10? I just looked here on the official site https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.5.0/guide/getting-started/ios/. It says that you need an iMac! Do you realy need it? What for? Cant you just download XCode for Windows (or with emulator) and than use it to build Apps with Cordova?
FYI,
You can't install Xcode in windows. Xcode is designed and developed by Apple specifically for mac OS X.
It doesn't mean that you can't use Xcode on windows.
Check out below link, it should be a good starting point for you.
Xcode on Windows
Hope this helps, Cheers!!!!
those docs are really old. Here's a link to the latest.
You can create multi-platform Cordova apps under Windows, but you'll need some virtualization software (or a separate OS X box) in order to specifically add the ios and osx platforms and run them in an emulator. The same is true if you want to create the various windows platform flavors on a Macintosh -- or if you want to create the Windows / Mac platforms on a Linux box.
The Visual Studio site has some more information on setup.
You can also use the PhoneGap Build Service to create the UWP/Android/iOS apps for you, and install them / test them directly on the appropriate devices. You can use "hydration" to push changes to the devices as you go. But I'm thinking that in the long run you might want to invest in a Mac for building / testing iOS -- it's easier to debug.
We have a couple of Blackberry apps and are now trying to prepare them for BB 10. These apps are made in Java via Eclipse and/or RIM IDE tool. However, when I went to https://developer.blackberry.com/platforms/bb10, I saw that there is no even a mention of Java SDK. Take a look at image below.
So how am I supposed to update Blackberry app to BB 10? Any ideas?
You have to decide what to do with your applications. If you have an Android version, one option is to repackage the APK to a BAR using the provided tool set so that it will run under the Android player. There are many good Android applications that provide an acceptable or even good user experience this way. Another option is to port your BlackBerry Java application to Android (if there is no existing Android version) then package the Android version for the player. This would also allow you to market the application to Android users. The final option is to port the BlackBerry Java applications to the Native SDK, Cascades, HTML5 or Adobe Air.
The best way forward depends on how tightly integrated into the BB10 system you want to be. While there are facilities provided in BB10 that are the equivalents to those is BlackBerry OS, there have been significant changes required to enable the improvements everyone wants to see on the new platform. If you see BB10 as a significant part of your future business then porting to Cascades would be very worth while.
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
Get started by reading the Getting Started Overview Guide

You may also be interested in cloning bbUI.js, a free ui framework that works across BlackBerry devices going back to OS5. bbUI.js targets platform specific native features, like access to hardware apis, while providing a consistent feel.

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.
We have windows7 environment and expertise. We want to develop apps for Apple IPad using IPad SDK and XCODE IDE etc.
How can we use these tools on Windows environment?

You could use a Virtual Machine, but it comes with headaches and hacks that need to be done to boot. Just go buy a Mac Mini(cheap entry) and get to coding. XCode will not run on a windows machine natively.
Depending on the nature of your app, one of the cross-platform development tools like PhoneGap or Titanium might be appropriate. Xcode is a Mac-only app and will not run on Windows.
There is step by step tutorial how to setup it on virtual machine on most of windows machines.. http://ipodtoucher55.blogspot.de/2010/12/installing-ios-sdk-and-xcode-on-windows.html
hope it helped..
