platformRequest and signed applications

[canard_42]

Hi all, and happy new year

I read in a forum that the platformRequest method needs some permissions in the jad/manifest "MIDlet-permissions" attribute, so that the platformRequest could properly work on signed applications. And the permission names may be differ from a phone to another one.
I don't know about Nokia phones, but for ex, on sony ericsson it is "javax.microedition.midlet.PlatformRequest.url"; on siemens "javax.microedition.midlet.PlatformRequest"; motorola iden "javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest.HTTP,javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest.MIDLET,javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest.HTTPS"

So I would need some information from people who had an experience with this problem...
For a given signed application, is the platformRequest permission mandatory, or can I neglect it? Will a phone be able to download an application, with mispelled or non-recognized permission names? Do we have to build and sign different applications for all the mobile brands? :/
Well at worse, if you know the platformRequest permission names of other phones, you will be welcome -_-;

Thanks

I'd like an answer to this question too. I've been testing on some tmobile nokias, and this is what I get:

requesting javax.microedition.midlet.PlatformRequest.url permission gave connectionNotFoundException: Platform Request not allowed

requesting javax.microedition.midlet.PlatformRequest permission gave connectionNotFoundException: Platform Request not allowed

I haven't tried the other permissions, because they seem less likely to work.

Is there a preferred permission for http platformrequests? Does the app behave differently if signed?

jhogue,

Are you talking about T-Mobile U.S.?
If yes, then you cannot get this working on those phones. See here for details

Yes, this is on TMobile US.

Should platformRequest work if we are signed as partner?

I realize this may be better to ask in a TMobile dev forum, but I haven't found a good one to post in.

As trusted 3rd party domain does not exist on T-Mobile U.S. devices, you need to get the signature from T-Mobile U.S. (Semi-Trusted partner)

There is no developer site from T-Mobile U.S. as far as I know.

unfortunately I do not good contacts to provide to you for this. But keep in mind that you have to work for a company to get the negotiations even started.
