Load BAR file onto Playbook
To load a BAR file onto a playbook, you need to put it into development mode first, which is
- Access Settings by swiping from the top on the home screen
- Select Security
- Select Development mode
- Select User Development Mode “ON”
- Set a password (in my case “pass”)
- Note your IP address from About-> Network -> Wifi -> ipV4
If you don’t do this step, you get the error:
Error: Device is not in the Development Mode. Switch to Development Mode from Se
curity settings on the device.
Otherwise you see this:

It’s worth noting that the same technique can be used to sideload BAR files onto the BlackBerry 10 phone.

Instead of using an IP address, you can also use the Device name, if you turn on Wifi sharing. (BlackBerry 10)
