PhoneGap building BlackBerry Sample Project stuck at Receiving Response

I was trying to learn how to use PhoneGap to build BlackBerry apps. I followed Guide from PhoneGap and sorted out the Webworks SDK as well as retrieved the signing keys.

Then I used ant blackberry load-device trying to deploy the sample apps onto the real device. But the signing process seemed freeze forever, some of the *.cod file got signed, but most of them just showing "Receiving Response":

sign tool

And the command line output:

Buildfile: /path-to-sample/sample/build.xml

blackberry:

load-device:

generate-cod-name:
     [echo] Generated name: cordovaExample.cod

clean:
   [delete] Deleting directory /path-to-sample/sample/build

package-app:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /path-to-sample/sample/build/widget
     [copy] Copying 22 files to /path-to-sample/sample/build/widget
      [zip] Building zip: /path-to-sample/sample/build/cordovaExample.zip

load-device:
     [exec] [INFO]              Parsing command line options
     [exec] [INFO]              Parsing bbwp.properties

     [exec] [INFO]              Compiling BlackBerry WebWorks application
     [exec] [INFO]              Starting signing tool

I've tried twice, no luck in either of them. The difference is which *.cod file got signed in Signature Tool.

So could you guys help me to figure out why it got stuck at there? Cheers.

UPDATE

If I force quit the Signature Tool, I'll got the output like:

     [exec] [ERROR]             Signing failed
     [exec] RIM Wireless Handheld Java Loader

     [exec] Disconnected

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

I'm sure I got my device connected and able to communicate with my computer.

Solution

  • After few hours continuously re-trying on this signing procedure, I finally successfully got the binary signed.

    Looks like the successful rate is between 6/10 to 7/10. Meanwhile I am pretty sure about my internet connectivity was good.

    It's a weird problem, probably due to RIM's signing server or the sign-tool's bug. Just keep trying may resolve this problem.
