Error!908: Application has malformed attribute: MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.1

The code in the BlackBerryHelloWorld class is a basic helloworld midlet.
And it's working with Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Sun emulator (simulators) .

Why doesn't it working ?
What is this error ??

Thanks,

Hi Brice,

First off lemme just say this, I had the exact same problem and spent hours tearing my hair out until I found a simple solution. Second of all, I know this was posted back in january and i'm replying because hopefully whoever reads this will be helped in finding a solution.

The following error:

Error!908: Application has malformed attribute: MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.1

For me this error meant that I had unsupported files in my RES folder. I checked and noticed I had jpegs in there, and so I removed those and left the folder with only .png (for images) and .wav (for sound files).

low and behold this fixed the error. I was shocked and appalled especially since the custom batch file I had downloaded kept spitting out errors making fun of my code.

I don't understand why my code simply builds in the wireless toolkit and then has a bunch of trouble converting itself over to a cod file based on a jpeg res file error. Not only that, the batch file was very informative in telling me a lot of things the wireless toolkit compiler did not. I'm not saying I don't like the wtk, it's just that if i'm compiling code that eventually won't work in conversion to a cod then what's the point of compiling?

Anyways I really hope the error is simply based on my res folder...and as for the other errors I got, hopefully those are minor which is why the wtk will compile regardless of them.

Well heres the forum I used to find the batch which helped me to fix the bug

the Rapc actually proved to show a lot more then i'd expected. But truth be told it can be very confusing, I wonder if someones job is solely to take finished midlets and convert them over to cods.

Hope this helps!

Turns out not only is the problem caused by jpegs, in fact it's largely due to the file size of the Res Folder. For example I had song files that made the file up to 200 mb!!!! even after lowering it down to around 20 mb it was still wayyyy too big. Luckily wav compression programs do exist, and well I guess they simply rewrite the file in a lower quality format...but even the largest wav files can be trimmed down to around 200 kb which might lack quality but is a huge relief compared to the 20 mb file I was working with.

So be sure to check file size, and file type in the Res Folder.

Dear,

I just got the same experience and fixed it.
What my problem is that my MIDlet was for MIDP 2.1 when I created it by using SUN's SDK 3.0 EA.
Actually, I don't need it to be 2.1 so that I changed to 2.0.
Then, make a new jad and jar.
Then, put them into the porject in BlackBerry JDE 4.2.1.
Then, I can build it and run it in the simulator.

p.s.
Of course, I had removed the wav, mp4 file from the jar too.

Hope this help.
