Can WriteUserData be granted with self-signed sis?

[goodtaste]

My application need write file to store configuration. Does this need WriteUserData privilage?

I tried to declare it in the MMP file and createsis with self-sign. But the application can't be launched on the phone. The error message is some like "Due to security problem, it can be started". If I remove the "WriteUserData" declare in MMP file, the application can be started. But when it try to write file, it failed.

Can WriteUserData be granted by self-signed sis?

Hi,

yes, this can be self-signed(http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Capabilities).

- Check the time and date on the phone (it's compared with time and date of the of certificate issue)!
- Check if you have in your 'App.mgr' in Options>Settings allowed in Software installation 'All'

I installed and ran the application immediately after I signed it. So I think the date is not the issue.

I also allow all application installed in my phone.

What's more, during installation, the phone ask me give the "ReadUserData" and "WriteUserData" privilage and I answered "yes".

But when I finished installation and try to run the application, system refused with "security" reason.

Hi,

The following are the Self-Signed Capabilities:

- LocalServices
- Location
- NetworkServices
- ReadUserData
- UserEnvironment
- WriteUserData

Once you have passed the installation process the only thing which comes to my head that you have disbled capabilites on emulator, so you have used the method, which requests more capablility and on emulator here everything works fine, but when you install it on device it fails. Can you check this?

Thank you. I checked epocwind.out file and found "AllFile" capability is required. It happens when I
do a searching on the disk with RDir.

Since "AllFile" is not self-signed capability, I have to remove this feature from my application. Is that the only solution?

Is SwEvent self-signed capability? I add it into my MMP file, but it failed during installation.

STeN has written a strange list in #4. You should rather believe the link in #2.

No. It doesn't come under user-granted capabilities. You need Developer Certificate to work with SwEvent Capability.
