Distributing BlackBerry device applications with the BlackBerry Desktop Software
Description
The application element contains the elements for a single
BlackBerry® device application.
The application element can also contain additional
nested application elements. Nesting lets you require that,
when a BlackBerry device application is loaded on the BlackBerry
device, its prerequisite modules are also loaded on the BlackBerry
device.
The id attribute specifies a unique identifier for the BlackBerry
device application. To provide uniqueness, use an ID that includes
your company domain in reverse order. For example,
com.rim.samples. docs.helloworld.
The platformVersion attribute specifies the version of the
operating system software on a BlackBerry device that a
BlackBerry device application requires.
The blackBerryVersion attribute specifies the version of
the BlackBerry® Device Software that a BlackBerry device
application requires.
The copyright element provides copyright information,
which appears in the application loader tool of the BlackBerry®
Desktop Manager.
The description element provides a brief description of the
BlackBerry device application, which appears in the application
loader tool of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
