Error Signing Playbook App: Code signing request failed because this file has been previously signed

When I sign my playbook app I get the error: 

    Connecting to url http://www.rim.net/Websigner/servlet/RDK-Waterloo
Sending properties to server...
Properties of response := [
Version = 1
Response = Signature Response
Confirm = null
Error = Code signing request failed because this file has been previously signed
.
]
barsigner error: server error: Code signing request failed because this file has
 been previously signed.

I understand that this error means I have to bump the version of my app. Where do I specify the version? I tried bumping the <widget> version, I even added a <versionNumber> tag. Nothing seems to work. Can someone look at my config.xml and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am using the following commands for Signing:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager for PlayBook\bbwp\bbwp" "D:\work\App.zip" -gcsk pass -gp12 pass -buildId 1 -o "D:\work\bin"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager for PlayBook\bbwp\blackberry-tablet-sdk\bin\blackberry-signer" -verbose -cskpass pass -keystore sigtool.p12 -storepass pass "D:\work\bin\App.bar" RDK
Solution

  • To sign a WebWorks package only the following command is needed:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks Packager for PlayBook\bbwp\bbwp" "D:\work\App.zip" -gcsk pass -gp12 pass -buildId 1 -o "D:\work\bin"

    Obviously following it up with the second command was reporting that the app version was already signed since the first command registered the version!
