Unable to install a signed Application on Nokia E61(issue with UIDs)

[gmsk19]

I have allocated "protected" UIDs given to me by symbiansigned.com I want to install a signed application on Nokia E61 which uses Symbian v9 OS. But i am not able to install the application.

I am getting an error message saying "unable to install".
My guess is its an UID allocation issue thats causing the problem.

Can anyone please help me out??

do you have any information regharding SECUREID?

Hi,

do you have any information regharding SECUREID?

Following is from SDK help:

SID stands for "Secure Identifier." It is a locally unique identifier that is used to determine which private directory a process can access. It is also used to identify the caller applications.

Find out more information about it from SDK help under "Platform Security FAQ".
Search for "SID" in the SDK help.
You would find good information from there.

Hi Kiran,
the problem seems to be due to data caging..
One application cannot write into another applications private folders,but we checked this also...

It is something to do with the two files we are trying to write to the mobile...
Here is the package file... check it out and please tell me....


;Standard SIS file header
#{"MyApplication"},(0x10003a3f),1,0,0

;Localised Vendor name
%{"Vendor Name-EN"}

;Unique Vendor name
:"blaze"

;Supports Series 60 v 3.0
[0x101F7961], 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

;Files to install

These two lines are mixed somehow:

"C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR_3\epoc32\data\z\private\20008F73\apps\MyApplication_reg.rsc" -"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\MyApplication_reg.rsc"

The _reg.rsc (which belongs to the system) should got from 1003a3f to 10003a3f, the infoFile.txt (which belongs to your application) should go from 20008F73 to 20008F73:

"C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR_3\epoc32\data\z\private\10003a3f\apps\MyApplication_reg.rsc" -"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\MyApplication_reg.rsc"

I think it caused by you used a unprotected UID (0x10003a3f) for your sis file. For Symbian OS v9, the protected UID start with 0x2XXXXXXX

That is, the use of 0x10003a3f is valid for system's application registration data cage but it cannot be used as packageUID in *.pkg. See SDK docs and Symbian Signed testing criteria PKG-07.
