Description
As a developer, I would be able to use application deployment that does not create .bar file.
In the recent builds of blackberry-deploy, the command line tool allows to upload a BB10 application even without having a .bar file. See the following help:
Experimental: -installApp <device> <package> -map <mappingFile> Install the application directly from the file system without a fully packaged bar file. <package> is a manifest-only bar file generated using the packager's -packageManifest option <mappingFile> is the packager's output piped to a file when run with its -targetFileMap option
Note that it only requires to have packageManifest and targetFileMap files which can be generated by blackberry-nativepackager tool. This removes a need to creating a BAR file and therefore increases the deployment speed.
