Hi there, Ali! It sounds like you're off to a good start by publishing for LMS and including the HTML5 and Articulate Mobile Player options (if Blackboard supports Tin Can API). When viewing an LMS-hosted course in the mobile player, you'll need to have published the course with the Tin Can API option. If your LMS doesn't support Tin Can, your learners can still view the HTML5 output in their mobile devices with mobile Safari or Google Chrome, but you'll need to leave the Articulate Mobile Player option unchecked.
I don't have experience with Blackboard specifically, but if it requires that you identify a single launch file once you've uploaded your content, the file to point to is index_lms.html.
Here's our knowledge base article which gives the basic information about distributing your course.
i published my course and it works fine, but when i lunch the course on the tablet there's no tab opened in Google chrome it stayed in the blackboard i think use its browser!
and it says there is an error occurred. The point is i dont want to use articulate player or the blackboard, i a new tab opened tih google chrome .
When you upload a SCORM package to Blackboard, it launches the course in the user's default browser, at least if they are using a desktop computer. It is the same if they are using an iPad, if you didn't publish for the articulate player and did include HTML5.
i just tried that and it works, but still opening in the blackboard system and i cant control the content browser is there any option to let the user change the view

Blackboard offers this support article on creating content; looks like uploading zipped packages is what you would be referencing:

I hope this gives you a bit more direction!
Thank you for the precious information you gave.

but they view the course in the blackboard system and there's no tabs opened
Hi Ali!
Did you republish with only the HTML5 option selected and not Articulate Mobile Player as Crystal and Walt are sharing here?
i just tried that and it works, but still opening in the blackboard system and i cant control the content browser is there any option to let the user change the view
Glad to hear that it works!
What do you mean control the content browser?
i want the user to resize the course view, have the access zoom in and zoom out
Go to Player, choose other and select Scale Player to fill browser window.
This will allow the user to change their browser window, but if they are using a mobile device, they can not pinch to zoom in and out.
Hi Ali!
Looks like Walt popped in to assist you here, just let us know if you need anything further.
