Cascades in PlayBook

You want to develop with Cascades but don’t have the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device? No problem!

Recently, I’ve found a blog about how to run your applications using Cascades on your BlackBerry PlayBook.

In short, follow these steps using Momentics IDE:

  1. Create BB 10 Cascades application.
  2. Create lib folder in project root.
  3. In bar-descriptor.xml add new line: <asset path=”lib”>lib</asset>
  4. In BB 10 SDK locate target/qnx6/armle-v7/usr/lib/qt4/lib and copy all shared library files with the extension .so.4 into the lib directory in your project. From target/qnx6/armle-v7/usr/lib copy libQtCascades.so and libbb.so.0.
  5. From Crackberry download BAR file, unpack it and copy libheimdall.so into the lib directory in your project.
  6. In bar-descriptor.xml add new line: <platformVersion>2.0.0.2971</platformVersion>

Voila! Now go have fun with it!
