build - Difference between OTAInstall and StandardInstall in BlackBerry

Question

I am creating a BlackBerry Application with Webwork and PhoneGap.

When I build an application it creates two directories:

OTAInstall

StandardInstall

I am wondering what is the difference between them, what are the usages of both.

Thanks..

Answer 1

OTA install means the installation process over the air, using the wireless network. This folder contains cod files and jad file. BlackBerry device opens jad-file wirelessly and installs the application via downloading it to the device memory.

Standard Install - it is about installing the application via BlackBerry Desktop Software and usb-cable connected to your computer and BlackBerry device. This folder contains cod-files and *.alx file (application description file). User runs BlackBerry Desktop Manager and specifies alx file location upon installing a new app. And BlackBerry Desktop Manager reads this file and installs all the cod files to the device memory.
