Hi,

     I am making an application for Series60 2nd Edition handsets.When I install the application on my handset for testing, it gives a confirmation note stating that
    "Application is untrusted and may have problems. Install only if you trust the provider."
    I am using Nokia 7610 and Nokia 6600. Can anybody explain why is it so, and how can i make this application trustworthy. I think it might have something to do with certificates or signing of the applications.

    Any help will be great.

Cheers!!! Afro

Hi,

This is happens when Platform id not match with your device platform id.

Check out the platfrom Uid in Pkg file.

(PlatformId), 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

Platfrom ID for Nokia

7610 :- 0x101F9115

6600 :- 0x101F7960.

All the best

Br,
Dip

Hi Dip,

Thnx for the reply, i used ur method and modified the PKG file entry to :

(0x101F7960), 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

then i made the sis and tried to install on the Nokia 6600, but still i get the same message at the startup. Do you have any idea what else could be the cause. I have also tested the sis for Nokia 7610.

Cheers!!

Re: Untrusted application
You need to submit your application to Symbian Signed and get it signed.

Once it is signed with a valid certificate that has a path to Symbian.com, it will not prompt with this page

Nokia 6600 is 1st edition (symbian 7.0s), not second. Second edition (symbian 8.x) SDK is not working for it. First and second edition don't need symbian signing.

Re: Untrusted application
Hi serg3d,

    My fault. Actually I am working on Symbian 60series applications for the first edition and all FPs of second edition.I have changed the productIDs as well but doesn't do any good to the installation. What should I be doing to avoid that message.
    I have the list of Handsets in S60 all editions with their product IDs,Machine IDs and platform IDs.
    I am currently using the platform ID ox101F6F88, so that my application can run on all symbian 1st edition and 2nd edition handsets.

Re: Untrusted application
Sorry but 6600, like all 7.0s based devices, is S60 2nd Edition.

1st Edition is limited to OS v6.1 (7650 / 3650 / NGage, etc...).

Re: Untrusted application
Hi Eric

    Thnx for the reply but I am afraid that didn't fully answer my query, what i have gained from my R&D is that I need to get a Symbian signed certificate for the application. I have also visited www.symbiansigned.com, and also downloaded the symbian signing request application. But according to my knowledge if the application is to be launched in the market, i.e the application is for commertial purpose the certificate will cost around $350 per release or version.
    Is the warning I am getting at the beggining of the application i.e
"Application is untrusted and may have problems. Install only if you trust the provider."   related to this or as others have sud\ggested , that i need to change the platform ID.

Cheers!!! Afro

Re: Untrusted application
You have to go through SymbianSigned to remove this warning.

The certificate will cost you 350$ and is valid for one year and with it you can sign as many application as you want (i.e. you don't have to buy a new one for each release of your app).

But you also have the cost of making a test house testing and signing your application which is to add to the certificate cost (and dependant of the test house). This cost is to be supported at least once per version of the application you release.
