FruitBat 1.2 Released

January – the month of updates! BlackBerry released a new version of the PlayBook SDK and simulator yesterday (0.9.2). With the update, your password is required to interact with the simulator via the command line tools.  This update changes the command line interaction slightly to accommodate for that.

Update 02/2011: This version is also compatible Tablet OS SDK version 0.9.3 which was released by RIM on 02/08/2011.

If the command line errors out, check to make sure the clock in the simulator has the correct time, matched to your computer’s clock.

Minor Fruitbat Update: 1.1.1453

FruitBat 1.1.1453 fixes the package command to ensure the application descriptor file always comes first in the file list, no matter what it is named. This bug would stop some applications from compiling into BAR files.The icon has also been switched for a much simpler, blue version with icon sizes trimmed to only those that Windows will use, shaving around 400K from the download package size.

The update may be downloaded from the FruitBat page or through the in-application updater (Help > Check for Updates).
