Ant Script (qnx.xml) fails while packaging BB10 build - ibm-mobilefirst

I have created an application for BB10 using IBM Worklight. The application version currently on production in v1.0. The application descriptor has version 1.0 for BB10.
I want to promote a new build with version 1.1. But, before releasing the build, I want to create interim builds for testing. Ex: 1.001, 1.002 and so on.
I am using antcontrib qnx.xml to package and sign blackberry 10 builds. When using this build process, the blackberry10 build fails stating: Native Packager exception occurred.
Also, from Worklight perspective, the versions that we can provide is only in format x.y. We cannot have x.y.z as the version in the application descriptor.
In such a situation, how do I fix this issue of releasing interim builds with version 1.001, 1.002 and then release the final build 1.1?

You mention an exception, but do not provide any other details such as reproduction steps. Not helpful.
What makes you think that in application-descriptor.xml you can only use x.y as the version number? I used 1.0.1 and 1.0001 w/out any issues. You'll need to better explain your issue.
<blackberry10 version="1.0.1"/>

Worklight 6.1 previous versions

I need to build my project with Worklight version 6.1.0.02.20141216-0421, but I didn't find it. Please who has this version ?
If you absolutely must have this specific build, you can find it here if you use Worklight Consumer Edition, or here if you use Worklight Enterprise Edition, if you are an IBM customer with a valid support entitlement.
However, if there isn't a very specific reason that you absolutely must have this specific build, I strongly agree with Idan's answer that you should use the most recent iFix build available on IBM Fix Central. As of right now, the latest build contains fixes for 93 separate APARs that are not contained in the build you are asking about (from more than 2 years ago).
That is an extremely old build and unless this build was an official iFix release - it will no longer exist. So, if you are an IBM customer you can look for this build number in the IBM Fix Central website.
Note however that you should always use the latest available iFix release... and not a build from more than two years ago, especially for production. If you will request official support, you will be told to use the latest build.

"Failed to Deploy Artefact error" in Eclipse Mule ESB project

I'm trying to run a trivial http echo app against the 3.50 CE runtime and I get the following stack trace(s) when I try to run
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ Failed to deploy artifact 'default', see below +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.mule.module.launcher.DefaultArchiveDeployer.guardedDeploy(DefaultArchiveDeployer.java:274)
...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.mule.module.launcher.DefaultArchiveDeployer.addZombieApp(DefaultArchiveDeployer.java:325)
Additional context:
I've just started working with Mule (using the Eclipse Plugin). I initially had the trial package which is configured for Enterprise edition and I had that working with some of the trivial examples - hello world and echo.
I then downloaded the community runtimes and changed the targets on the projects, at that point I had been getting No Application Name errors, and I tried rebuilding them as new projects with CE targets from the start.
I also had been running them as mule applications, but this page
https://developer.mulesoft.com/docs/display/current/Studio+in+Eclipse
seems to indicate I must use maven ( I've set that up - although the automatic POM management doesn't seem to be working) but I still get the above failure.
There's no indication of why it's failing, as far as I can tell my projects output is valid.
Any suggestions welcome.
For what it's worth this is working now (fixed it shortly after posting the question even though it's been a blocker since yesterday).
If anyone else runs aground of the same issue..
I wasn't using the latest Community Edition runtime so I upgraded using the eclipse plugin install from (http://studio.mulesoft.org/r4/studio-runtimes).
I think this might have had something to do with it as I had previously been using the r4 plugin (http://studio.mulesoft.org/r4/plugin) with the Eclipse hosted 3.5 CE. Possibly the plugin is not backward compatible with the Runtimes.
basically once I completed the install and restarted I upgraded my project to use the new CE (changing the project setting and the flow xml). It worked first time.
Oddly all my Mule-Maven options have disappeared, but that's a separate question.

Application cannot be imported; it is either an invalid one or it contains specific features that are not supported

I followed the recommended solution:
IBM Worklight v6.0 - Error while adding an application to the Mobile Test Workbench
still got the error even though my jdk seems to be already correct
I didn't see any errors in the test workbench mobile client log (emulator), which log should I be looking at?
I suppose that you are using Android 4.4 and not Android 4.4W or 4.4L which are not yet supported. And you should have made recently an update of the Android SDK tools to version 23 (you can verify by opening the SDK Manager)
Google has modified in this release the way the tools are organized and this made MTWW regressed when instrumenting.
There is a workaround: copy <android-sdk-dir>/build-tools/20.0.0/zipalign[.exe] to <android-sdk-dir>/tools.

I had same problem. You may need hotfix or uptdate to RTW8.6.

Worklight Direct Update doesn't work when wlapp built outside of studio

We have a worklight i/OS hybrid application built and deployed to the worklight console using RTC jazz team build and the ant-builder ant tasks (6.1.0.1). The ipa packaging is done on a separate machine, though using the same level of Worklight Studio (6.1.0.1).
I've compared the wlapp files that are generated, and they are basically identical except for some whitespace characters (tabs, line feeds), probably due to the different environments (Windows vs AIX), and the following:
index.html
"WORKLIGHT_NATIVE_VERSION": "3921556017",
"WORKLIGHT_PLATFORM_VERSION": "6.1.0.01.20140311-2356",
"WORKLIGHT_NATIVE_VERSION": "1475155033",
"WORKLIGHT_PLATFORM_VERSION": "6.1.0.01.20140311-2356",
deployment.data
native=3921556017
native=1475155033
However, the direct update never happens when the wlapp is updated on the server.
on the WL.Client.connect call, the following json comes back as part of the response
gadgetProps":{"directUpdate":{},"ENVIRONMENT":"iphone"}
What are we missing here? What can be preventing the direct update from triggering?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The 6.1.0.1 iFix version 6.1.0.01.20140518-1532 from IBM Fix Central seems to have resolved this problem for us.
And what if you are not using ant, but rather built the project in Worklight Studio straight to Xcode from then install the .ipa and test Direct Update. Does it work?
From your question it is not clear whether or not you've confirmed one or the other.
Regardless, since the v6.1.0.1 build you are using, several Direct Update-related fixes were introduce; one with close proximity to the error you mention (directUpdate:{ }), so I suggest to to open a PMR in order to receive the latest available iFix (not yet available at IBM Fix Central).

Worklight 5.0.6 wipes out native customizations in shell

I upgraded my environment to v5.0.6. Problem is that everytime i start Eclipse it does this:
[2013-04-19 18:38:41] FWLST1017I: [AppShell] upgraded to the latest
platform version.
When this upgrade takes place, it reverts my templates and adds class files to the iphone\native folder and removes the plugins I configured in the shell:
Removes all my custom plugins from components/AppShell/iphone/native/Classes
Resets project.pbxproj.wltemplate.wluser to stock removing includes for my classes
Resets config.xml.wluser removing all mappings to my plugins
It also always shows at the end of the upgrade process:
Failed to upgrade Worklight project 'AppMobile' to the latest platform
version. [null]
Is that why it keeps running the upgrade and reverting my changes?
According to your question, you have some .wluser files, which means that something is wrong with your project.
Can you please let me know whether the problem still exists and whether you still have those files in you project?
