My BlackBerry code signing has started to fail with an “Error connecting to web signer from proxy”. Searching the web seems to indicate this is a problem with the BlackBerry code signing service. Is anybody else hitting this at the moment?

Wireshark indicates I am getting a response from www.rim.net with the error message in.

Request:

You can check out the web page that keeps track of the Blackberry signing servers:

  • Thanks, this twitter feed is useful. It confirms the signing servers keep going down at the moment, and the BlackBerry sticky in the other answer doesn't say there is any scheduled maintenance. – Dan J Mar 30 '11 at 22:42

There's a sticky about this on the BB dev boards: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Signing-Server-Scheduled-Downtime-for-Upgrades/td-p/630837

    Thanks, I hadn't seen that. They really should make the error message to say it is scheduled downtime and when the service is expected to be restored... – Dan J Nov 09 '10 at 01:10
  • -1 Unfortunately this link doesn't get updated nearly as often as the server is offline. – Richard Le Mesurier Oct 20 '11 at 07:14
