Aloha everyone.

I apologize for a stupid question, but does anyone have thoughts on how to use GameSalad to produce an awesome game and then somehow publish it to Blackberry 10?

Using PhoneGap?
Convert to Construct2 then Use PhoneGap?
Publish directly to Blackberry?

"Yes I know that Blackberry is an absolutely pain in the butt to develop Apps for, but I love my PlayBook and would love to have the opportunity to develop for the PB"

I am a total Newbie and have no coding experience so this is why I ask.

    Here's the thing, Black berry 10 uses a new proprietary OS. That being said it is currently
    not a supported platform for GameSalad.

    Also consider that it's not a platform geared to a multi-use demographic such as iOS and Android.

    GameSalad has been striving to make the universal nature of GameSalad's creator exportable to more devices, so who knows? If Blackberry's OS takes off, it could be a possibility.

    There have been instances of folks converting their apps (here and elsewhere), but to no success.

    Give this a gander:

    Just to bump this, anyone has had any success porting their Androids apps to BB10. A friend of mine has an utility (miles logging) Android app and he ported it to Blackberry. He made in one month more money than in one year in android. Thanks :-@

    He doesn't use gamesalad for development. Just to clarify.

    I was learning java just for Blackberry support. They ensure good apps make 10k per year!!! Also it is an easy market to compete in!!! BB ALL THE WAY!!!!

    Blackberry 10 have an integrated Android Runtime. You can try to repackage your game and publish it to blackberry store. The feature is ineresting but I not test it. https://developer.blackberry.com/android/

    It looks as though there is an online tool to convert an .apk to a BAR file.
    "Without" any additional software...
    Sounds like you can distribute to BB without help from GS...

    I tried the online tool and it gave me an error saying it was incompatible...

    Yes, for some reason I doesn't work for gamesalad made games. Since I am only focusing in Blackberry right now I needed to move to another game engine. If GS start supporting it I'll be back.
