symbian signed

hello all,

I'm an indiviual developer and don't have a company to pay for getting developer ID and siging fees. Will my self-signed applications work on the S60 3rd edition? Do all application need to symbian-signed to get installed on my phone? How can I test my application on my phone (after using the emulator)?

In other hand, I have some applications that I use for me only on my phone, do I need to sign them to work? (application for my self only).

thanx for any help.

If you do not require capabilities beyond available capabilities with self-sign certificate, then you don't need to have it symbian signed. You can use Self-sign application in this case.
But if your application needs more capabilities other than Self-sign, you have to go for Symbian Signed.

If you want to test application with extended capabilities then you can use Developer Certificate. It lasts for 6 months.

Locate [B]"General Information about Symbian OS Platform Security"[/B] under [B]"Platform Security FAQ"[/B] in the [B]SDK help[/B]. You would find more comprehensive answers to your doubts.
