Sorry, no more free DevCerts.

> Why couldn't trusted developer be able to selfsign their application too ?

They can. However as Symbian do not have an office on every High Street the route to being trusted is to buy a Publisher Id.

> Would it be harmful to be able to have self generated developer certificate ...

The problem is with end users getting certificates & signing code. Users find the need for this confusing, and do not understand that when they sign the code they are trusting the application with their personal data, to spend money on network access/phone calls/messaging/...

For further potential harm I refer the honourable gentleman to the recent discussion on NewLC about hacked software -

The Symbian Developer Network has a new FAQ addressing the recent changes:

What is happening with SymbianSigned ? The site has encountered a lot of difficulties since several months and I am just amazed to see how they cannot get rid of them. Commercial developers have avoided most of the problem since Symbian tried to keep their access up and running but hese time are now over...
