Blackberry batch import for zip file for submission with app world gives invalid binary error

1.1k views Asked by At

I've developed a Blackberry app using Eclipse running on an Apple Mac. Developing in this way meant I had to test directly on devices as there is no simulator I can find for a Mac. Now the app is packaged and ready for upload, I've used the batch import option through my vendor account but I keep getting an Invalid Binary error and it is referring to files DS_Store with lots of digits attached. Anyone come across this or know what these files are? There is nothing in my zip archive other than my app cod files and a devices.txt file.

It turns out that the DS_Store folders are created automatically on Apple Macs and are hidden. So, when I created my release folder with my bundle of cod files and devices.txt file, the DS_Store folders were being added automatically. To remove them, open a terminal window (through Utilities) and type in the following command:

find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete

This will recursively remove the hidden DS_Store folders from all the sub folders. I did this from my top level folder and then re-created my zip archive file to upload to my Blackberry vendor account. It was successful!
