There's no Blackberry in PGB. If you want a Blackberry app, you need to build locally.

PhoneGap Build only supports Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8.1

For BlackBerry builds, you will have to compile locally. http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/guide_platforms_blackberry10_index.md.html#BlackBerry%2010%20...

Dear Yi Ming Kuan
Still I have no idea what is the meaning of build locally?
Suppose If I have 10 devices how can I install phonegap framework?
Do I need to connect all one by one or connect all?

1) Still I have no idea what is the meaning of build locally? 
Local builds - the app is compiled on your computer
PhoneGap Build - the app is compiled on our servers

2) Suppose If I have 10 devices how can I install phonegap framework? 
If you're talking about the mobile device, it doesn't matter how many mobile devices you have. All you need is the right compiled app for each mobile platform targeted - .apk for Android, .ipa for iOS, .bar for Blackberry 10, .xap for Windows Phone.

3) Do I need to connect all one by one or connect all?
I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you clarify?

Thanks for the response Yi Ming Kuan.

In the first answer :
Local builds - the app is compiled on your computer -- I understand this.
PhoneGap Build - the app is compiled on our servers -- I don't understand this. While I submitted the www root zip folder, build it and then I did not get blackberry option, only android, windows and apple option comes ( check image ).

2) Suppose If I have 10 devices how can I install phonegap framework?
If you're talking about the mobile device, it doesn't matter how many mobile devices you have. All you need is the right compiled app for each mobile platform targeted - .apk for Android, .ipa for iOS, .bar for Blackberry 10, .xap for Windows Phone. -- My question is if there is no online link available like blackberry to build app, how do I give it to the client?

3) Do I need to connect all one by one or connect all?
I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you clarify? -- This is related to above question.

1) PhoneGap Build only supports those three platforms you mentioned.

2) You will need to compile the app on your computer instead of using the PhoneGap Build service.
