Built for BlackBerry

Posted on October 2, 2014 by DeanLogic Passport

Just because you build an app to run on a BlackBerry device, doesn’t mean that it is Built for BlackBerry. There are guidelines for what is considered Built for BlackBerry. And after you think you have done your best to meet those guidelines, you have to submit your app to be scrutinized by someone from BlackBerry to determine if you did meet those guidelines. On top of that, you only get a limited number of tries to get the app passed. Built for BlackBerry. The signature BlackBerry 10 experience. Built to keep you moving, apps and games with the Built Continue reading Built for BlackBerry→

Meetup for BlackBerry 1.2.2

Posted on September 29, 2014 by DeanLogic Passport

Meetup for BlackBerry 10 by DeanLogic version 1.2.2 is now available for download. The first thing you should notice is that the install size is now only 1.5 MB. Sorry for making it so huge before, I didn’t realize the splash screen images were the culprit. The other obvious change is the app icon. Due to a request from Meetup, I modified the logo to meet their requirements. I added shortcut keys for the Q and Passport, but found out that the ‘Alt’ key won’t work for those shortcuts. I will do a different shortcut and send out an update. Continue reading Meetup for BlackBerry 1.2.2→

Images, app size and the Splash Screen

Posted on September 6, 2014 by DeanLogic — No Comments ↓

A little while ago, Crackberry.com did a review for the Meetup for BlackBerry 10 app. No, not my Meetup for BlackBerry 10 app, but an app by someone else. I know I haven’t worked a lot on my app, but it was a bit annoying to see a review for the app and have the reviewer claim that an app for Meetup was finally in BlackBerry App World, when I release my app almost an entire year earlier. I informed the app developer that I already had the app name and he changed his name. However, a couple of things Continue reading Images, app size and the Splash Screen→

Painter – My First App

Posted on July 3, 2014 by JoeQXS — No Comments ↓

Painter was my first project that got me into application development and is currently available in Blackberry World for all BB10 devices (as of the latest release). The application lets users load a picture onto a canvas and then draw on it with any color they wish (basically it’s like MSPaint). Conceptually, Painter is very simple – You load a picture and layered on top of that picture is a webpage with a transparent background. However, I did face several challenges and I wouldn’t have even released the application if it wasn’t for the support I received from another developer. Continue reading Painter – My First App→

Meetup for BlackBerry 10 release 1.2.0

Posted on June 20, 2014 by DeanLogic

I have done a minor/mid release (1.2.0 / 4.2.0) for the Meetup app. I updated the build OS to 10.2. I figured at this point, everyone should have updated their device to 10.2.1. Another push for updating to 10.2, is that BlackBerry has already announced 10.3 and provided beta simulators, so that developers could get started updating their apps or building new apps with the new features. I don’t plan on pushing out a 10.3 version until I feel that the majority of my users have upgrade. One of the reasons I wanted to go to 10.2 is the addition Continue reading Meetup for BlackBerry 10 release 1.2.0→

CubiX Review

Posted on June 3, 2014 by DeanLogic Passport

As a member of an app developer group, you have the opportunity to hear of an app that you might not find looking in an app store. I usually try to help test the apps from the Baby Steps: BB Dev group before they get to the app world, but I didn’t have the time during this app’s development. Now that it is launched, I took the time to download it and give it a look. CubiX is a side scrolling time touch game. In other words, a game that requires the user to touch the screen at the right Continue reading CubiX Review→
