How to install Blackberry 10 Native(QT, C/C++) on Windows Machine


I am trying to install Blackberry 10 Native in my Windows 7 Machine, but somehow i am unable to install it properly, so please any one can guide me how can i install Blackberry 10 in my Windows 7 Machine.

I already downloaded Momentics IDE and also i have followed the instruction from this link

http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/getting_started/setting_up.html

One more thing is that i don't have Blackberry device so i have to run mt application on simulator.

Please I just want brief guidance about how to setup all environment related to run Blackberry 10 on my Windows Machine.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.


Solution

  • I am assuming Momentics installed without an issue, and simulator is the problem. You need VMware Player or some other virtual machine. You simply

    • Download and install VMware Player (Free for personal use)
    • in Momentics: where the "on:" choose "Add new target", click "Simulator", Install a new simulator and choose the version you want.
    • Once installed Launch simulator, go to Settings (in the simulator), Security and Privacy, Turn on development mode (you need to create password for this). I'm not 100% you need to turn on development mode on simulator but I do it anyway
    • Go back to Momentics (under Add new target), click Properties, enter password you used in simulator and click Connect.

    Another thing that might be useful. You don't need signing keys on a simulator, but you do if you want to try on a real device. I hope you tried Momentics 2.1 beta, it's slightly better
