Ok so I packaged a swf file into a bar file using the command line in terminal like this:

blackberrySDK/bin/blackberry-airpackager -package appname.bar -installApp -launchApp appName.xml appName.swf blackberry-tablet-default-icon.png -device 172.16.26.135

the last bits add the app to my simulator and launch it.

But when I tried to upload it to the portal today I got this message

"Bar is not RDK signed Bar is not AUTHOR signed This bar contains unsigned entries which have not been integrity-checked"

How do I author sign it?

There is a link to a great tutorial that explains this step by step at:

Worked for me... I now have 2 apps in the Blackberry Appstore... ;-)

thanks for all the links, I managed to get the file signed using that tutorial.

Wow, I have to say adding an app to the blackberry platform has been the most challening compared to apple, google, android and nook.

Hi there - it's been a few months since I did this - so things may have changed.

But you'll need to request a signing key and then use blackberry-signer to sign the file before uploading.

Here's a link that I found pretty useful (from Blackberry forum). Takes you through the full process in a good level of detail :-
