It should be "a UID", unless you pronounce it "oo-id". In either case, it's good to be consistent.

Thanks for the notice. I have updated the article.

Development UIDs

According to Symbian Developer Library the range for Developer UIDs is 0x01000000 - 0x0FFFFFFF (not 0x00000001 - 0x0FFFFFFF as mentioned in the article). Those two bits make a difference :)

This may be because you have forgotten to change one of the references to your old UID. I had this same problem, and then realised I still had the old UID in my CAknApplication::AppDllUid() function.

HI, my application is working correctly on Emulator. I made pkg file and sis file and tried to install it on phone(P800). I saw its icon, but when clicking on, i m getting "the application could'nt be started". Is this because of UID? or another problem? Informations about solving this problem would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Unique Identification Numbers, or UIDs, are used by the Symbian OS to identify each application and associate them to the file type they can handle. If you intend to deploy your application, you must get an UID for it.
