Advanced data at rest protection (ADARP)

Added the AdarpDomain and DataLockState classes. Advanced data at rest protection (ADARP) is a feature that locks a work space when a device has been idle for a specified time period. The AdarpDomain class provides functions to monitor the status of the device and request a data lock state change. For more information, see Sensitive data in the work space and Security for Enterprise.

Hardware

Added the following functions in the HardwareInfo class to determine whether a device has certain physical keys or a trackpad, which are features that are associated with the BlackBerry Classic:

• hasPhysicalBackButton(): Indicates whether the device has a Back key
• hasPhysicalMenuButton(): Indicates whether the device has a Menu key
• hasPhysicalPhoneKeys(): Indicates whether the device has Call and End keys
• isTrackpadDevice(): Indicates whether the device has a trackpad

Added the following classes:

• DeviceShortcut: Represents a shortcut that can be invoked by a control
• DeviceShortcuts: Enumerates the possible device shortcuts

Permissions

Added the following features:

• Phone Call Details and Phone Call Logs permissions are available as check boxes on the Application tab of the bar-descriptor.xml file.
• Push and Run in Background permissions are no longer restricted and are granted to all developers by default.
• Permissions no longer persist when a user uninstalls your app. The permissions that the user previously granted to your app are removed. The user is prompted to provide permissions when your app is reinstalled.
• The Personal network permission allows your app to use the personal network.
• ADARP permissions can be used to request a data lock, extend the data lock timeout period, access the data and startup data domains, and run when the app is in a data lock state.

For more information, see Available permissions.

Personal information management (PIM)

Added the following features:

• Calendar: You can now set and update reminders for calendar events (including default reminders), as well as reminders for all-day meetings. You can also listen for changes to the default calendar folder.
• Contacts: Contact folders are now available, which let you sort contacts into folders that you can display in your apps. You can retrieve a list of contact folders from a particular account and choose whether these folders are synchronized with the account.
• Message: You can retrieve a preview of a message instead of the entire message, and you can set and retrieve classification information for a message. You can also perform bulk operations, such as deletion and marking as read, on messages and conversations. New out-of-office settings are available, which let you set and retrieve the text that internal and external recipients receive as out-of-office replies. Lastly, a new MIME type for Rich Communication Suite (RCS) messages has been added.
• Notebook: You can now set and retrieve recurrence properties for notebook entries.

Building your app for the BlackBerry Classic webcast

You can watch the Bringing your app to Classic webcast to learn more about building your app for BlackBerry Classic.

BlackBerry Classic: Trackpad

Cascades allows you to customize the behavior of trackpad navigation in several ways: you can set which control gets focus initially, customize the navigation path, and even change the highlight style. If you require more direct control over the trackpad, you can also handle trackpad events directly. The BlackBerry Classic also introduces four navigation keys that you can override behavior for: the Back, End, Call, and Menu keys.

For more information, see Trackpad input.

BlackBerry Passport: Touch-sensitive keyboard

The keyboard on the BlackBerry Passport is touch sensitive, meaning that it can recognize touch events and gestures in addition to key presses. You can capture touch-sensitive keyboard events by using the TouchKeyboardHandler in Cascades.

For more information, see Touch-sensitive keyboard input.

Effects

Added the following classes that allow you to set visual effects on images and controls to change their appearance. Use these effects to brighten, darken, or change the color intensity of your controls and images.

• AbstractEffect
• BrightnessEffect
• FocusHighlightEffect
• FocusHighlightEffectStyle
• SaturateEffect

Events and input handling

Updated the following classes to support default actions, input sources, long press and tap events, focus changes, and action bars on devices with trackpads and physical keys:

• AbstractActionItem
• AbstractGestureEvent
• Control
• InputRouteProperties
• LongPressEvent
• Option
• Page
• TapEvent

Navigation

Added and updated the following function and classes to handle which controls should get focus when navigating using the trackpad or physical keys:

• Container::navigation()
• ContainerNavigation
• Navigation
• NavigationEvent
• NavigationHandler
• ChildrenNavigationBehavior
• ConsumeNavigationEvent

BlackBerry Platform Services Library

---

Added support for system keys, which are the Call (Send), Menu, Back, and End keys.

Invoke (navigator_invoke.h)

Updated the description of navigator_invoke_timer_registration_send() to emphasize that while specific timers are automatically deregistered when they expire, you must explictly deregister recurrence timers.

Navigator (navigator.h)

Added the following event code for system key presses:

• NAVIGATOR_SYSKEY_PRESS

Added the enumerated type navigator_syskey_t that contains these values that map to the system keys:

• NAVIGATOR_SYSKEY_SEND
• NAVIGATOR_SYSKEY_END
• NAVIGATOR_SYSKEY_BACK

For more information, see BlackBerry Platform Services Library.

Credential Manager Library

---

The Credential Manager Library provides an interface to use the Credential Manager service, which supports password-based and certificate-based credentials.

For more information, see Credential Manager Library.

Documentation

---

Multimedia

This release adds the ability to switch audio tracks in supported file formats, and mm-renderer publishes track-specific metadata for audio, video, and subpicture tracks. The mm-renderer documentation includes the new section Parameters for mm-renderer and updates Playing media with information about metadata and how to switch tracks.

The Dictionary Object Library has been moved out of the Multimedia section and into its own section of the site.

For more information, see Multimedia.

Wi-Fi service

The new Wi-Fi service document demonstrates how to receive Wi-Fi events and how to use the Wi-Fi aggregator capability. For more information, see Wi-Fi service.

Multimedia Renderer Event API

---

Added the mmr_metadata_split() function.

For more information see, Multimedia Renderer Event API.

OpenMAX AL

---

The OpenMAX AL APIs are now available. For more information, see OpenMAX AL.

Scoreloop Library

---

The Scoreloop Library is no longer supported. Apps should not use any Scoreloop libraries or dependencies.

Smart Card Library

---

SmartCardCryptoProvider.hpp

Added the following C++ functions to support key generation and management:

• generateKey()
• getPublicKey()
• importCertificate()
• importKey()
• removeKey()

sc_crypto_system.h

Added the following functions:

• sc_crypto_system_get_curve_oid()
• sc_crypto_system_set_curve_oid()

sc_smart_card.h

Added the following functions that support key generation and management:

• sc_generate_key()
• sc_get_public_key()
• sc_import_certificate()
• sc_import_key()
• sc_remove_key()

Support for BlackBerry Classic

---

Building your app for the BlackBerry Classic webcast

You can watch the Bringing your app to Classic webcast to learn more about building your app for BlackBerry Classic.

Navigation keys

You can override the behavior for the BlackBerry Classic navigation keys. For more information, see BlackBerry Classic navigation keys.

Trackpad

The Screen API exposes trackpad events as SCREEN_EVENT_JOYSTICK events that you can listen for and respond to in your apps. For more information, see Trackpad input.

Support for BlackBerry Passport

---

The keyboard on the BlackBerry Passport is touch sensitive, meaning that it can recognize touch events and gestures in addition to key presses. You can capture touch-sensitive keyboard events by using the SCREEN_EVENT_MTOUCH_EVENT session from Screen. For more information, see Touch-sensitive keyboard input.

VPN Extensions Library

---

vpn_ext_api.h

Added the following function:

• vpn_ext_register_service_no_deamon()

Cascades platform APIs

---

Maps and map visualization

Added the animateToAltitude() and animateToHeading() slots to the MapView class. These slots animate a map to a new altitude or heading. Instead of jumping directly to the altitude or heading, the map gradually zooms or rotates from the current altitude or heading to the new altitude or heading.

Cascades UI framework

---

Foreign window

Added functions and signals that allow you to manage input events that should be forwarded to the bound screen window when the foreign window control is in focus. For more information, see ForeignWindowControl.

Lists

Added the selectionChangeStarted() and selectionChangeEnded() signals to the ListView class. The selectionChangeStarted() signal is emitted before item selection takes place. It is followed by one or more selectionChanged() signals and then a selectionChangeEnded() signal. The selectChangeEnded() signal is emitted when one or more items have been selected. You can use this signal to handle selection change efficiently. For example, extracting the list of selected items by calling selectionList(), should be carried out when the selectionChangeEnded() signal is emitted instead of every time the selectionChanged() signal is emitted.

Added the imageFocusedEffect property, setImageFocusedEffect() and resetImageFocusedEffect() functions, and imageFocusedEffectChanged() signal to the StandardListItem class. The imageFocusedEffect property represents the ImageFocusedEffect::Type that is applied on the image when the item is focused.

Pickers

Added the function selectedContactAttributes() and the signal contactAttributesSelected() that allow you to find the list of contact attributes that were selected by the user. For more information, see ContactPicker.

Added the kind property to the DateTimePicker class. The possible values for this property are: PickerKind::Default, PickerKind::List, and PickerKind::Expandable. An expandable picker has a title and description, which can be set within the Picker. A List picker doesn’t have a header and is always expanded.

UI configuration

Updated the following classes:

• UIconfig: Supports dynamic design units and scale factors that depend on the information density context
• UIPalette: Supports a new primary dark color and secondary text colors

Web

Added new functions to the WebSettings class to determine whether spatial navigation should be used to interact with a WebView when the user is using a trackpad. Spatial navigation is disabled by default because it is not supported for all web content. When spatial navigation is enabled, a highlight can be used to interact with elements on the webpage by using the trackpad. The spatialNavigationEnabledChanged() signal is emitted when spatial navigation is enabled or disabled.

Added new functions to the WebPage class that exit full screen mode and hide dialog webpages. Usually the user performs these actions by pressing buttons on the webpage. These functions allow you to programmatically perform these actions in your app.

Added the shareTextAction() function, which allows you to share the selected text using the invocation framework when triggered. For more information, see WebPage.

JI: -

In the C Library, some of the "Since" sections may not reflect the correct API level. This will be resolved in a future release.

Documentation

---

JI: -

We are hard at work creating an awesome UI experience for you! While we are doing this, some references to the BlackBerry 10 UI, including screenshots, may not reflect what you see in the current software.

JI: -

In previous releases, the most recent version of the BlackBerry Platform Services library (libbps) was bundled with the Native SDK. This version was newer than the version on the target OS. To ensure the correct BPS library version was used by applications at run-time, projects in the Native SDK 1.0 would:

• Use BPS headers from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location for compilation,
• Link the libbps.so from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location to generate the application executable, and
• Package the libbps.so from the $QNX_TARGET/../target-override location in the BAR.

JI: -

As of the Native SDK 2.0.0 release, BPS no longer resides in the target-override location. The BlackBerry 10 OS and BlackBerry 10 Native SDK versions of this library are in sync. If you have applications targeting BlackBerry 10 that you no longer want to support on PlayBook 1.0.x, you should remove the libbps.so.1 asset from bar-descriptor.xml and target the BlackBerry 10 version of the Native SDK. To verify, select the QNX page in the project properties dialog box. Otherwise, packaging of the BAR file will fail because it will not be able to find the libbps.so file to include in the BAR.

JI: 393737

The BlackBerry 10 Native SDK documentation may not appear in Dynamic Help in the Momentics IDE. To access help topics from Dynamic Help, right-click a topic and click Open in Help Contents. Alternatively, you can always access the documentation by clicking Help > Help Contents in the IDE or by visiting the Documentation website.

Sending a URL that ends with a closing bracket ')' or is followed by punctuation is not parsed correctly.

JI: 450995

If you save an EAS contact to your contact list and change the name, and you send an email to that contact, the name might change to the global name in the BlackBerry Hub.

Headless apps

---

JI: 709026

If you are using the headless app template, the headless app can't be started in Run-Release mode, because this mode requires a signed .bar file with the _sys_headless_nostop permission. However, you can still test a headless app in Device-Debug mode and apply for signing keys with that special permission and get your app signed once you're at the publishing stage.

JI: 708357

If you are debugging your headless app in the work space, you can't set a breakpoint in the constructor or the main.cpp file of the service part of your headless app. You can reach other breakpoints in the service part of your headless app while debugging in the work space, or you can debug the constructor by deploying your app in the personal space.

JI: 526899

If you install a headless app in the personal and the work perimeters, the trigger does not work in the second location where you installed the app.

Installation

---

JI: 394200

When you perform a software update, you must accept the security warning about installing unsigned software and continue the installation.

Autoloaders

---

If you have McAfee Process Validation Service (Mfevpts.exe) installed and you try to install an autoloader, when you run the executable, there is a delay of several minutes before you see the installation window.

BBM Social Platform

---

Apps installed in the work space cannot access the BBM Social Platform. To connect to BBM, your app must be installed in the personal space.

When you retrieve the version number of the BBM Social Platform library that is running on a contact's device, the value returned might be unreliable if the device is running BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2 or later.

Cascades Exporter plug-in for Adobe Photoshop

---

If you installed Cascades Exporter for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows previously, you need to uninstall them before installing the new build. There is now one build that contains Mac OS, Windows 32-bit, and Windows 64-bit.

If you created your design using Adobe CS6 or higher and you want to preserve rescaling on a particular shape, you need to emulate the steps required in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Create a path using the shape tool and press the Mask button. A vector mask is created. Double-click to apply the special effect on a selected layer in the Layers navigator.

Cascades Exporter is not supported with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and later.

When using Cascades Exporter with an installation of Adobe Photoshop that uses French as the default language, a "Problem null" dialog box might be displayed when you export a project, indicating that the export process fails.

Cascades platform APIs

---

Multiple static map images cannot be loaded simultaneously. If you generate a map image of a location using MapImageGenerator, you must wait until the image is loaded successfully before generating another image. If a second request is made before the first request completes, the first request canceled. You can listen for the finished() signal to determine whether the image is available.

When you set a URL property for a QML object, file paths are case-sensitive when they should be case-insensitive. For example, “FILE:app/native/assets/contacts.json” and “file:app/native/assets/contacts.json” should be treated the same, but are not. Also, a URL that’s defined in QML may result in a URL that has part of the path duplicated.

In QML, the connect keyword cannot be used to connect the touch() signal of a Control to a function.

The ArrayDataModel::indexOf() function sometimes returns 3 in cases where it should return -1.

Cascades UI framework

---

Calling QmlDocument::create() in a non-Cascades app may cause the app to terminate unexpectedly.

If an implicit or explicit animation occurs immediately after an orientation change of the device, the animation does not play but instead jumps to its final position. For example, this issue may occur if animations are started from the rotationCompleted() or orientationChanged() signals.

QRC-based resources

---

If you are using QRC to improve performance in your apps, the new asset selection tool may affect your apps. If asset selection is used, an index file is generated automatically. However, this index file does not include contents that are only included in the QRC binary file. Instead, it lists only the files that reside in the assets directory in your project.

Workaround: Place a copy of QRC-compiled assets in your assets directory. The tool will then include these assets in the index file. When the device loads the app, the appropriate files in the binary are still used and the app continues to benefit from the performance gain of QRC.

Viewers in the invocation framework

---

Using the invocation framework, viewer-related classes (for example, InvokeViewerMessage and InvokeViewerRequest) and functions have been deprecated. The viewer-related classes and functions have been replaced by Card classes and functions. For more information on the Cards API, see Cards.

BlackBerry ID and Signing Authority linking

---

If you do not register your signing key and your BlackBerry PlayBook debug token with the same client ID, an error will be thrown when you try to link your BlackBerry ID account with a Signing Authority account. A fix will be available in a subsequent release.

FreeType

---

Applications using FreeType must add the following include path: $QNX_TARGET/usr/include/freetype2

General

---

If you save an EAS contact to your contact list and change the name, and you send an email to that contact, the name might change to the global name in the BlackBerry Hub.

Multimedia

---

If an app plays a media stream that's encrypted, the app won't allow video playback if an HDMI display is connected, due to security restrictions. This limitation will be resolved in a subsequent release.

There is a slight delay between tracks played as part of a playlist (approximately 0.5 seconds), even when the playlist includes only one track that is repeating.

OpenAL

---

• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states that the function alcCloseDevice() will fail if the device's contexts and buffers have not been destroyed. alcCloseDevice() actually destroys any contexts and buffers still associated with the device.
• The function alcGetIntegerv() does not throw an error when retrieving ALC_MAJOR_VERSION and passing an invalid device pointer.
• The function alcGetString(device, ALC_CAPTURE_DEFAULT_DEVICE_SPECIFIER) throws an error when invoked after the device has been closed. It should return the default device and ignore the device parameter.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states in the description of the function alcGetString(), "Specifying NULL for deviceHandle when asking for ALC_EXTENSIONS will generate an ALC_INVALID_DEVICE error." In fact, no error is generated.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states in the description of the function alBufferData() that, "An invalid size will result in an AL_INVALID_VALUE error." In fact, calling alBufferData() with an invalid size does not cause the INVALID_VALUE error.
• When the function alcMakeContextCurrent() is called with an uninitialized ALCcontext pointer, it correctly returns ALC_FALSE, but does not generate an ALC_INVALID_CONTEXT error.
• The OpenAL Programmer's Guide - OpenAL Versions 1.0 and 1.1 incorrectly lists AL_INVALID_VALUE as a possible error returned by the functions alGenBuffers() and alGenSources() when the array is not large enough to hold the number of items requested. In fact, no error is generated.
• The function alSource3f() does not throw an AL_INVALID_VALUE error when invalid numbers are passed as parameters. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The function alSourcef() throws an AL_INVALID_VALUE error for valid values when using AL_CONE_INNER_ANGLE and AL_CONE_OUTER_ANGLE.
• No error is thrown when the function alutLoadWAVFile() is called without a current context.
• The function alutGetError() does not return ALUT_ERROR_ALC_ERROR_ON_ENTRY when there was already an ALC error on entry to alutLoadMemoryFromFileImage().
• In the OpenAL Programmers Guide, AL_DATA is incorrectly documented as a valid buffer property. An attempt to retrieve this property through alGetBufferi() and alGetBufferiv() will result in an AL_INVALID_ENUM error.
• The deprecated function alutLoadWAVMemory() does not return the expected values.
• The function alGetListenerfv() does not generate an error when called with an invalid value. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The following attributes are set by the device and cannot be altered using the attribute list of the function alcCreateContext(): ALC_FREQUENCY, ALC_REFRESH, ALC_SYNC, ALC_MONO_SOURCES, ALC_STEREO_SOURCES, and ALC_MAX_AUXILIARY_SEN.
• The OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference incorrectly states that the function alGetEnumValue() sets the error code AL_INVALID_VALUE if the specified enumeration cannot be found. In fact, this error is not set when an invalid enumeration value is specified.
• The OpenAL Programmer's Guide - OpenAL Versions 1.0 and 1.1 incorrectly states that the functions alcSuspendContext() and alcProcessContext() produce the error ALC_INVALID_CONTEXT when called with a null or destroyed context. However, no error is generated.
• The function alListener3f() does not generate an error when called with a NULL value for the AL_VELOCITY attribute. Apps should perform their own validity checking.
• The function ALCGetProcAddress() does not return addresses for the specified context extension functions, even for valid functions. It always returns NULL.
• The function alSourceQueueBuffers() queues invalid buffers. If you pass a NULL buffer to this function, it will queue the buffer and not raise an error, even though the buffer is not valid.

OpenSSL

---

BlackBerry 10 uses OpenSSL 1.0.1, with the following deviations from the standard implementation:

• TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support is disabled by default.
• The heartbeat TLS extension has been disabled. This extension is described by RFC 6520, which is located at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6520.txt.
• The list of default SSL/TLS/DTLS ciphersuites has been altered.
• Applications using SSL/TLS/DTLS connections get a default set of ciphersuites unless they explicitly specify which ciphersuites they want to support using SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() or SSL_set_cipher_list().
• The default set of ciphersuites has been changed to "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SRP:!SSLv2" which eliminates the SRP ciphersuites from the standard default set of ciphersuites provided by OpenSSL 1.0.1.
• SSL_CTX_new(), which is used to create a new SSL_CTX object for TLS/SSL/DTLS negotiations, has been altered to disable TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support by automatically setting the option SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 and SSL_OP_NO_TSLv1.2.
• TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 will be disabled by default when using SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_server_method(), or SSLv23_client_method(). Applications that need TLSv1.1 support can clear the SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 option by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1) or can use one of the following TLSv1.1-only methods: TLSv1_1_method(), TLSv1_1_server_method(), or TLSv1_1_client_method(). Applications that need TLSv1.2 support can clear the SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2 option by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2) or can use one of the following TLSv1.2-only methods: TLSv1_2_method(), TLSv1_2_server_method(), or TLSv1_2_client_method().

Payment Service

---

When you use the BlackBerry 10 Device Simulator to test your apps, your apps cannot communicate with the BlackBerry World servers to test certain Payment Service features. To test Payment Service features on the simulator, you should use Local Mode testing.

If you need to test your apps by interacting with the BlackBerry World servers, you need to run the app on a physical device and use a BlackBerry ID in sandbox mode. For more information about testing apps that use the Payment Service, see Testing in-app purchases.
