Regarding Qt app deployement on Ovi

[amol_benare604]

Hello friends

I have some queries regarding Qt application deployment.

We got reply from ovi store that we need to make a wrapper sis file which will be the combination of our application sis file(unsigned) and Nokia smart installer.

and he gave me below links.

link suggest the following steps

5. To package Nokia Smart Installer with your application and sign it:

a. Open the wrapper package in an editor. It will be named <myapp>_installer.pkg.

b. Replace the testing UID A000… with the reserved wrapper package UID 0x2002CCCF.

c. Replace the “c” in the install file destination path with a “!” and then save the file; eg:

"X:/proj/myapp/myapp.sis" – "c:\private\2002CCCE\import\myapp.sis"

"X:/proj/myapp/myapp.sis" - "!:\private\2002CCCE\import\myapp.sis"

d. Then enter the following command:

make installer_sis QT_SIS_CERTIFICATE=developer.cer QT_SIS_KEY=developer.key

e. A “wrapper” SIS is generated with a name like <myapp>_installer.sis
6. Submit this wrapper SIS file to Publish to Ovi.





I am done with the a,b,c part . Now in d they have used developer.cer and developer.key . I am confused which developer certificate should I use here?

We haven't used any developer certificate before while publishing our application on Ovi store.



So can you plz help me regarding this???



Thanking you in advance...

hello amol,

Before submitting Qt Application to OVI Store, you need to request OVI to give you certain protected UIDs and a developer certificate and key. It takes around couple of days and when they give you the required developer certificate then you need to use that for signing the installer sis file. And then submittting that to OVI Store.

Is it not the same way we publilsh Symbian App in Ovi, after express signing? or for Qt app there are some different signing process?

actually if you have publisher id you can use that way too to get you application signed, but if you dont have publisher id or you dont want to pay that much amount of money, they nokia will get your application signed for free. In that case the thing i have written in my previous post will stay.

Lets says I have developed one app.
Now I have PID also.
What would be the steps to publish to OVI now. Do I go fo express signing also, by getting the Content ID?

Thanks a lot gaba88.. You are right... I have symbian signed Publisher ID. I can use that publisher id to sign Qt app ....

Thanks for the help...
