If you are developing using Qt Creator, you need to modify normal project settings to generate the bar signed as required to publish the app.

• Go to Projects at the left of the screen.
• Select Run on QNX Arm at the top of the screen
• Disable Create package deploy step
• Add a “Custom process step” deploy step before deploy package step to generate a bar file without development mode.

Command: [bbndk path]\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\blackberry-nativepackager.bat
Working directory: %{buildDir}
Command arguments: -package YourApp.bar bar-descriptor.xml

• Add a “Custom process step” deploy step before deploy package step to sign the bar file.

Command: [bbndk path]\host\win32\x86\usr\bin\blackberry-signer.bat
Working directory: %{buildDir}
Command arguments: -storepass **** -cskpass **** YourApp.bar
