Tizen binary file type and creation

I am trying to create a Tizen app for the Samsung Gear S2. For submission of the app I need to provide a binary. What file type is the binary? Is it .tpk or .wgt? How to I force the Tizen IDE to create this output file?

Follow below steps to generate the binary(tpk/wgt).

  1. Open Tizen SDK
  2. Right Click on your project in Project Explorer3.

If Web App

  1. Then click on 'Build Package' which will generate the wgt file at .../workspace/projectname/

If Native App

  1. Then click on 'Build Package' -> 'TPK' which will generate tpk at .../workspace/projectname/Debug

According to the official developer documentation

The Content Type of a binary is automatically detected and displayed [...]

In this context, several Tizen binary types exist:

  1. Native (Wearable-Intergrated) - *.tpk - Integrated

  2. Native (Wearable-Linked) - *.tpk - Linked

  3. Web (Wearable-Integrated) - *.wgt - Integrated

  4. Web (Wearable-Linked) - *.wgt - Linked

  5. Web (Wearable-Standalone) - *.wgt - Standalone

Thus, to create a binary of your Tizen project you have to configure all supported target devices and all other project properties according to the developer guide (see link). Then:

if saving is properly processed after the [Save] button is clicked, the information of the uploaded binary are automatically detected from the manifest.xml or config.xml file.

Hope it helps.
