Preparing Your Environment

Code signing

All BlackBerry WebWorks applications need to be signed with a code signing key from Research In Motion (RIM) before they will run on a physical BlackBerry device. Code signing keys are not needed when testing on a BlackBerry Device simulator. Signing up for code signing keys is a simple process requiring to fill a web form. After you sign up, you receive a set of keys that you can use to sign multiple applications as many times as you want.
