Invalid UID in Carbide vs projects

[rihoe]

I noticed that when I create new projects with Carbide vs.2.0.1
the UID is set to 0x
TARGET FDBlogger.exe
TARGETTYPE exe
UID 0x0 0x200033c2

Must be:
UID 0x100039CE 0x200033c2


Because of that (probably) I had troubles to set my app for Symbian signing.

How did you create the offending project?

[rihoe]

File->New->Project->Nerw Symbian OS Project., etc.

[mitts]

And what template and SDK target, 3.0 Maintenance release or the older one?

[rihoe]

Project = Symbian 9
Template = S60 3rd Ed. View Application
SDK=S60 3.0 (9.1)

Hi,

You are right, there seems to be a systematic error in some of the 3.0 templates for this, how on earth did it only pop up this late? Thanks for raising the issue!

To fix, just edit the .mmp file of the offending project, the UID value is not automanaged.

To avoid the issue in the future you can also update the templates. Go to \Carbide.vs installation dir\Templates\ProjectTemplates. For each 3.0 GUI template, locate the <template>\Group directory and edit the basename.mmp file content replacing the 0x0 UID with the correct one. For details on editing templates see Help and the document on the /doc directory.

What exactly were the problems you got with signing?

What exactly were the problems you got with signing?

The web gave error that my sis package contains some bizzarre UID (0x3...).
I'm 99.99% sure that I have never used this kind of numbers.
I have sent my files to Symbiansigned to investigate and they found this error in my MMP.
I don't know if it is actually causing it, 'cause I haven't resubmitted my files yet.

I would appreciate it if you posted a follow-up if/when you resubmit so we know the full picture here! Thanks.

[rihoe]

Seems that now the submitting worked

[mitts]

Thanks for the update. I take it to mean that the only thing you fixed was the UID2 value?

[rihoe]

Yes (at least knowingly

[mitts]

Cool, thanks!

Must be:
UID 0x100039CE 0x200033c2

On a related note: 0x100039CE is the correct UID2 value for a GUI application, but what is the recommended value to use for a non-GUI server in 3rd Edition, where the old convention of leaving it 0 no longer works, at least for Symbian Signed executables?

Should 0x100039CE now be used for any EXE file, regardless of its type?
