Is there anyone on this forum who uses Appforge Crossfire for BB development?

I'm having a serious problem when deploying my application on my device (8700). In VS everything looks great, but after the installation, my device basically dies (Keeps resetting in a loop showing the hourglass for a few seconds). I'm only able to bring my device back to a good state by reloading the OS.

I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my device or it's a known problem with crossfire.

This is my first time writing apps on the BB platform. Is there anything I should do prior to deploy my app on the device?

Thanks!

Hi

I worked with cross fire, but after some deployment issues we decided to develop on native enviroment (JDE), I think is the best solution.

Cross fire is a good tool, but at this momemt I think is not so mature for blackberry.

ditto, my old company looked into using it as they were heavily dotnet based. the demostrations were impressive at face value but when we enquired deeper it seemed we'd spend most of the development time coding around the current limitations.

blackberry support was pretty basic, but this was a few months ago.

Check Oracle and AppForge

I had similar problems when I loaded a .COD file compiled with 4.2.1 JDE into a 4.1 device.

Try using 4.1 BB tools when creating the app with Crossfire.
