how to retrieve API's used with capablities

[forester404]

Hello.
When applying to Symbian Signed certification, we need to specify list of capabilities
used in our application, and for each, a list of API's for which it is needed.
(if i got right)
- is this correct ?
I can retrieve the list of capabilities easily, but I can't think of a
better way to retrieve which API require each of those capabilities, then
to go through all of the application source and look up for every method call
from any API it's documentation for required capabilities,
which will probably be insanely time consuming.
did I miss anything ?
Thank you.

the programmer who made the app, should indeed know which API's are used and which of them require which capabilties, thus ask the programmer.

Of course I asked the programmer,
who bizarrely enough doesn't keep record of each function call he used in
his source code and it's capabilities. it's a large application, function calls
are all over, is this something a Symbian programmer is normally expected to
do ?
Is this mentioned in any Tutorial / documentation, or is it left to be learned
about on application's Symbian Signed Testing submission ?

If the application runs on the emulator, you can remove/comment capabilities, and collect PlatSec warnings in the logfile (epocwind.out) after a thorough test.
If the application does not run on the emulator, but you have a devcert, it is still possible to use a trial-and-error approach.

This capability report may also be helpful, at least for the Symbian APIs (rather than the S60 APIs):

In some cases it will serve wrong information.
For instance search for "GetPhoneId" in the above link, you would find needed capability is "ReadDeviceData" which is a wrong information. "GetPhoneId" does not require any such capability.

May be i have misunderstood the information provided in the link or the link is not up-to-date.

I remember that it was originally documented to require this capability, thus I quess the early feedback on (that Symbian signed would be required for application registration) it, actually chnaged this requirement, but some documents were forgotten to be updated.
