Installing applications onto the BlackBerry PlayBook via WiFi with the Tablet SDK
PC pre-requisites
Download and install the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet SDK for Adobe AIR - http://us.blackberry.com/developers/tablet/
NOTE this package in turn requires the Adobe AIR SDK which should be downloaded first. This is a ZIP file that merely needs extracting to a suitable location - http://www.adobe.com/special/products/air/sdk/
Create a directory on the PC in the root of C called “PlayBook”. Copy the PlayBook application files to be transferred to the PlayBook into this folder.
Set the BlackBerry PlayBook into Development Mode
Open the Settings and select Security:
Select Development Mode:
Set “Use Development Mode” to On, you will be prompted to enter in a device password, use one of your choosing:
Development Mode will now be enabled:
Connect the PlayBook to an appropriate wireless network and make a note of the device’s IP address, located under Settings --> About --> Network:
Ensure that the PC is connected to the same wireless network (or has routable access to the IP segment that the PlayBook is connected to).
Open Notepad and paste the following text into it:
“c:\Program Files\Research In Motion\blackberry-tablet-sdk-1.1.1\bin\blackberry-deploy.bat” –installApp –device 192.168.230.138 -password yourpassword c:\PlayBook\filename.bar
where “192.168.230.138” is the IP address you made a note of earlier, and “yourpassword” is the device password assigned to the PlayBook.
Substitute “filename.bar” for the name of the application to be transferred to the PlayBook.
Save the file as “install.bat” in the c:\PlayBook folder created earlier.
Open a Command Prompt window.
Issue the command “c:\playbook\install.bat”
The application will now be copied to the PlayBook.
