Certificate Error? Sign your Symbian applications A

Certificate Error? Sign your Symbian applications A



Have you ever been looking for a needle in a haystack? Really? What about? Unless you want to catch this popular saying, you will not burn the barn to find out. Something similar happens with Symbian. You will not wander long hours for the network for this application as desired, you go directly to Softonic and a handful of clicks are the cream.


But among the elite are also applications that are not prickly about whipped. I speak of those who are not Symbian signed by their developers and thus yield only error messages when you try to install them on your mobile phone with Symbian. Everything goes smoothly and suddenly, wham ... an error message putting paid to your desire to test the application on your mobile. Not installed. It tells you that it is not signed, ... What is happening?


Breathe deep, we all passed, no useless despachurrar your mobile or use as a projectile. Any accident can be explained, however bloody it is. What happens is that from Symbian Version 9 has introduced a security mechanism called Symbian Signed. This mechanism only affects applications that require access to unauthorized system capabilities. For obvious security reasons, Symbian requires that applications exceed their safety criteria, understood as a guarantee for the end user.


In other words, a guarantee of safety for me, for you and for all who use a mobile with the system Symbian S60 third generation. This means that you do not need a signed application for system versions prior to 9.x, neither for nor J2ME applications in 100% of applications designed for S60 3rd and UIQ 3.x, this depends on the The application makes use of the Symbian API. In any case, whether to install an application on your mobile throws you a certificate erroris that the application is not signed by its author, and unsigned ... no recess. In other words: Do not install or pocket with a crowbar.


But why is not signed? You did the right question, grasshopper. Let's recap: not all applications must be signed, only for S60 3rd, if the application requires access to work skills unauthorized Symbian API. OK ... and who should sign them? Symbian, but the process will have to start the application programmer. What then? While the developer can associate with the IMEI of your phone (an identification number unique to each mobile device) for testing during the development phase, requires a public company in order to start the distribution and installation on any mobile phone.


For this you need a Publisher ID which costs $ 200 a year for free if the application is freely available, and a good dose of patience because the process usually takes about six months or more, including sending the application to an authorized testing to verify that exceeds all safety criteria for Symbian. Total, which falls to the developer to sign their applications, but ... until recently there was a method that allowed a program signed using a certificate from Symbian. What is the problem? Well, Symbian and does not grant any license until further notice. So, if you do not have a certificate associated with the IMEI of your phone, you simply can not sign, unless the author has created a version OpenSigned.


Later, I will elaborate at length on this OpenSigned versions. The other option is to wait for granted because it is likely that the author of the program you want to sign is absorbed in a long, expensive and tedious process of application for a certificate / signature to the powerful Symbian. Unfortunately, as this do not wake up and put the heart to work again offering its service online award certificates, will continue in the same ... without our applications signed.
