No including smartinstaller for Belle devices?

[RS3]

Hello there,

Read something like this over here:
"Moreover, Symbian Belle devices have Qt in ROM and it is not intended to be updated by applications via Smart Installer but only when user does device firmware upgrade via Ovi Suite or over-the-air."

So, aren't we supposed to include smart-installer in our Qt apps for the Symbian Belle devices or, am I getting it wrong?

While Qt is not updateable, other components may be missing (e.g. Notification API, In-App Purchase) or may be updateable, and therefore the smart installer can and in some cases must still be used. It will simply not have anything to do for Qt in particular, but since I'm asuming you make the same app available to Symbian Anna and Symbian^3 devices, having the SI is even more important.

To keep things simple, Nokia Publish mandates that you deliver a SI wrapped package, even if maybe your application does not really need it in a particular case.

Thanks for the clarification Itomuta! That was a good piece of information.
