- A few users reported that exact same problem. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue yet and can't tell you how to fix it. My guess is that it depends on the opearing system, bugs have been reported with 10.1.0.1720.07-23-13 06:27 AMLike 0

Now that exams are over I finally have more time to work on this service. The Android APK to BAR converter is almost done now, only the UI implementation is missing. If you came across any bugs in the last release, please let me know!

One question, I converted the .apk to .bar using the PlayBook .apk to .bar converter site, installed the .bar and the application runs just fine, but I was curious as it had not asked for any permissions, neither can I see the app listed under System Settings, Security and Privacy, Application Permissions. As I have no other Android apps on my phone I don't know whether I should be able to see these permissions or not so any advice would be gratefully received.08-02-13 01:00 AMLike 0

- Thanks, looking at the MANIFEST.MF file in the .bar I can see the following "Entry-Point-User-Actions: access_shared,play_audio,post_notification,access_ internet,use_camera,record_audio" which I assume are the permissions the app should have asked for? Perhaps because the site I used to convert was designed for PlayBook instead of BB10?08-02-13 04:53 AMLike 0
- Alright folks, it's time to give you the APK to BAR converter! The latest update unlocks the converter, just start the tool and wait 10 seconds. It will download and install the new version.
If you want to convert apps, you also need to download the Android SDK. Save it anywhere and enter the path of the "SDK" folder into the sideloading tool. Now you are ready to convert any APK file that you can find!
That's right, you don't need:
- Code signing keys
- Debug tokens
- BlackBerry command line tools
Keep in mind that it's still a beta version. Let me know what you think!The_Original_Modifier likes this.08-03-13 01:55 PMLike 1 - Would like to see available updates for my apps

I also had to change the location of the download folder in Settings as the update changed my previous setting to "C:\Program Files (x86)\BB10 Sideloading Tool\BARs" but this folder needs admin access to write to so the convert failed08-03-13 08:10 PMLike 0 - I unzipped the SDK, then pointed the converter to the \sdk folder in the unzipped location (e.g. C:\Users\[blah blah]\Utilities\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk)

- Took the plunge and tried it out. Sideloaded for the first time. WOW! Crazy easy and fast. GF has Instagram and Snapchat working and I snagged Netflix and Kijiji. Couldn't get the Squeezebox Controller app to work. Also failed installing the game, Plague Inc. Said it lost network connection with it after 100% install.
Fantastic app/tool here people. This dev has got something huge here.

Imo this tool is the easiest way to sideload! Great UI, Easy Setup and No usb cable needed!
Posted via CB1008-05-13 03:00 AMLike 0 - Does this tool do what the debug token does? I'm really not sure if I'm asking the question correctly.
I want to use a debug token for a troublesome app. My problem is I'm getting an error after the keys are registered, I'm getting a token.
If this tool rendered the token unnecessary this would be very useful.
