Can’t install Google tools on Blackberry Curve: MIDlet-Name attribute is missing

Posted by brad on January 13th, 2008

Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor
The “MIDlet-Name” attribute is missing.

These two lines drove me insane for 2 months as I tried to work out why I couldn’t install any of the goolge apps on my Blackberry Curve. The solution has finally come my way - I was using the WAP browser. I’ve tried everything, trying to install via the desktop app manager, having spud recompile the JARs into ALX files. None of this worked. Then I happened to find someone it was working for the only difference between us was that they had the “Internet Browser.”

In my company the “Blackberry Brower” is for the local intranet, our telco provider browser “Optus Zoo” is a WAP browser, neither of these cut it. The only way to install the google tools was via the “Internet Browser” of course
