Please help. Open signing my SIS app but still getting KErrPermissionDenied

[carlosl]

Hi


Please help, I'm running out of hair to pull from my head.



I'm trying to generate a standalone instalable application I'm developing.

To keep things simple I'm first going thru the process with a tested program (from the Mobile Python site) examples. Since installation was failing I wrapped it with the debug code #2 from the wiki. Code is as follows:

try:
    import inbox, appuifw, e32
    
    def show_list(msgs):
        msgs.sort()
        items = []
        for msg in msgs:
             items.append(msg[1][:15])
        appuifw.selection_list(items)
    
    def sort_time():
        msgs = []
        for sms_id in box.sms_messages():
              msgs.append((-box.time(sms_id), box.content(sms_id)))
        show_list(msgs)
    
    def sort_sender():
        msgs = []
        for sms_id in box.sms_messages():
              msgs.append((box.address(sms_id), box.content(sms_id)))
        show_list(msgs)
    
    def sort_unread():
        msgs = []
        for sms_id in box.sms_messages():
              msgs.append((-box.unread(sms_id), box.content(sms_id)))
        show_list(msgs)
    
    def quit():
        print "INBOX SORTER EXITS"
        app_lock.signal()
    
    box = inbox.Inbox()
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = quit
    appuifw.app.title = u"Inbox Sorter"
    appuifw.app.menu = [(u"Sort by time", sort_time),
                        (u"Sort by sender", sort_sender),
                        (u"Unread first", sort_unread)]
    
    print "INBOX SORTER STARTED"
    app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
    app_lock.wait()
    1 / 0
except:
    import sys
    import traceback
    import e32
    import appuifw
    appuifw.app.screen="normal"               # Restore screen to normal size.
    appuifw.app.focus=None                    # Disable focus callback.
    body=appuifw.Text()
    appuifw.app.body=body                     # Create and use a text control.
    applock=e32.Ao_lock()
    def quit():applock.signal()
    appuifw.app.exit_key_handler=quit         # Override softkey handler.
    appuifw.app.menu=[(u"Exit", quit)]        # Override application menu.
    body.set(unicode("\n".join(traceback.format_exception(*sys.exc_info()))))
    applock.wait()                            # Wait for exit key to be pressed.
    appuifw.app.set_exit()

I'm using a 3rd ed phone 6120c so I'm using ensymble which is working. The command line is something like:

ensymble py2sis --uid=0xE1234567 --icon=vs1.svg --appname="Example" --shortcaption="Example." --caption="Example" --version=1.2.3 --verbose test.py

Then I'm signing (open signed) the sis with all capabilities in www.symbiansigned.com.

Python 1.4.5 is installed in my phone:

PythonForS60_1_4_5_3rdEd.sis 587124 82415 None
PythonScriptShell_1_4_5_3rdEd_unsigned_testrange.SIS 19648 5080 None (after open signing it)

(actually I've read I don't need to sign the shell for installed SIS applications, but I'm still doing it anyways)



The thing is I'm still gettting:

SymbianError: [Errno -46] KErrPermissionDenied

like if the capabilities were not there...

Good grief !!! I found it. I thought adding capabilities was not needed at ensymble but only when signing the sis.

Heh, I've done same mistake few times: got to add capabilities TWICE Not logical, have to make a feature request to Symbian Foundation about this somehow...

My application is almost finished. It wouldn't have been possible without all the hints, tips, code, etc etc from this great forum.

This is indeed a very helpful forum.

Thanks all.
