Blackberry config.xml is different in Worklight build methodologies

I'm building our BB10 environment in Worklight using two different ways.

1- Through Eclipse IDE:

The config.xml in the native folder which has been generated after building the environment contains all the feature that we need in our project.

2- When I use Ant Worklight Builder, the generated native folder for BB10 contains the following config.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="MobileBank" version="1.0.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets" rim:backButton="exit">

    </license>
    <access subdomains="true" origin="file:///store/home" />
    <access subdomains="true" origin="file:///SDCard" />

    <!-- start_worklight_host_server do not change this line-->
  <access subdomains="true" origin="https://mobile-qa.company.ca" />
  <!-- end_worklight_host_server do not change this line-->

    <access subdomains="true" origin="*" />
    <icon src="icon.png" />
    <rim:splash src="splash-1024x600.png" />
    <rim:splash src="splash-600x1024.png" />
    <rim:splash src="splash-1280x768.png" />
    <rim:splash src="splash-768x1280.png" />
    <content src="webresources/skinLoader.html" />
    <rim:permissions>
        <rim:permit>read_device_identifying_information</rim:permit>
        <rim:permit>access_shared</rim:permit>
        <rim:permit>read_geolocation</rim:permit>
        <rim:permit>access_pimdomain_contacts</rim:permit>
    </rim:permissions>
 </widget>

All the feature tags disappear using Ant builder.

Worklight Ant task version 6.2.0.01.20150329-1923

WebWorks SDK version 2.2.0.15.

I tried Windows and Mac. got same result. Thank you.

Solution

  • See this blog post: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/2015/03/05/ootb-support-blackberry-webworks-2-2/

    I've created an application with the BlackBerry 10 environment two times: using The WebWorks 1.0 SDK and the WebWorks 2.2 SDK. The difference in config.xml is due to the SDK used.

    • The Worklight builder will create the first config.xml if your environment variable for WEBWORKS_HOME is pointing to WebWorks 1.0.
    • The Worklight builder will create the second config.xml if your environment variable for WEBWORKS_HOME is pointing to WebWorks 2.2.

    This means that your Studio and Ant .jar file are not of the same version Worklight.
    Get the latest iFix from IBM Fix Central; to get the Ant .jar I believe that you will need to extract the Server installation to get it.
