I already have an installation using .alx/.cod files that we use to install our Blackberry application via Desktop Manager, and also an "over the air" install version consisting of a .jad file and .cod files (uncompressed and no larger that 64K as specified by the mime type) that is downloaded from our website.

What format should I upload the application to App World as?

I gather all the files should be in a zip file but apart from that I'm struggling to find much more information on the RIM website

RIM has a document with the exact requirements for a submission bundle for an app for BlackBerry AppWorld:
"Contents of a .zip file for a release"

    This is actually the best answer so far. – Prof. Falken Feb 23 '11 at 06:38
  • Did you actually use this method with success? I did, with very limited result. Most of the information is not read by AppWorld (version, min OS, platform and devices need to be set by hand anyway) – Loda Apr 15 '11 at 11:05

Look at section 5 b in the App World FAQ.

It mentions among many other things, COD files. The plural is because, you need to submit a COD file for each OS version you are planning to support.

  • Thanks-that looks like the checklist I need. I guess there is no need for an alx or jad file in this case. – John Sibly Feb 22 '11 at 13:06

    @John Sibly, no, I think the App World thingy is the equivalent of the jad and so on. Especially how your app will not appear for OS versions you have not supplied a COD file for. – Prof. Falken Feb 23 '11 at 06:37
