I just found this out, too. I've been playing around with getting my addons to work with 5.7, and here is what I found.

It seems that you pretty much have to load the script via the Footer. Below is the updated code to add to the controller:

public function view() {   
         $b = $this->getBlockObject();         
         $btID = $b->getBlockTypeID();
         $bt = BlockType::getByID($btID);
         $uh = Loader::helper('concrete/urls');
         $this->addFooterItem('<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $uh->getBlockTypeAssetsURL($bt) . '/js/someScript.js"></script>');
      }

This seems to work, as far as loading the script. However, maybe there's a better way that I don't know of yet. I believe they are still working on the documentation for 5.7 yet.

That's weird I actually had a different problem, the javascript was loading but css files in the packaged block's CSS folder were not loading. I submitted a bug report and Andrew said it was fixed in next version (7.0.2)

view.js and view.css are both loading correctly though.

After working on this some more, I think you are right, it was the missing CSS that was messing up
