Question

I'm developing a Qt application using the Qt Nokia SDK (Yes i know i can use the Qt SDK version 1.1.1, but i don't want to that right now because of tight schedule).

The application is finished and i have applied for UID's from OVI and received UID's, cert installer and developer cert/key pair for testing.

-I received these UID's:

UID# 0x200XXXX1
UID# 0x200XXXX2
UID# 0x200XXXX3
UID# 0x200XXXX4
UID# 0x200XXXX5

-I installed the cert installer on the test device

  • Changed the build settings so that i use the certificate i received from OVI:Build Settings

  • Changed the project file so that it takes use of the UID (This is a part of the .pro file)(See UID's):

    VERSION = 1.0.0
DEPLOYMENT.display_name=Project
DEPLOYMENT.installer_header = "$${LITERAL_HASH}{\"Project App Installer \"}, {0x2002CCCF}, 1,0,0"

symbian {
TARGET.UID3 = 0x200XXXX1
TARGET.CAPABILITY += NetworkServices \
                     ReadUserData \
                     WriteUserData \
                     ReadDeviceData \
                     WriteDeviceData
ICON = Icon-no-glare-tiny1.2.svg
TARGET.EPOCSTACKSIZE = 0x14000
TARGET.EPOCHEAPSIZE = 0x020000 0x800000
INCLUDEPATH += C:/NokiaQtSDK/Symbian/SDK/epoc32/include
LIBS += -LC:/NokiaQtSDK/Symbian/SDK_OK/epoc32/release/armv5/lib
LIBS += -lcone \
-leikcore \
-lavkon \
-letel3rdparty

    }

  • Problem: By doing this i wrap the application using the Nokia smart installer (Which is something i want), but when i try to install this on my test device i get the message "Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier"

This happens only seconds after starting the installer, so i think it might be something wrong with the uid and Nokia smart installer.

  • Here's some candy though: If i do not wrap the application using Nokia smart installer, i have no problems installing the application.

Does anyone have a suggestion i can try? i'm desperate in getting this working now.

If any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

When you sign your application with the ovi developer cert and change UID to a supplied protected UID, only symbian signing your application will let you install it on a device. The developer certificates are provided only to allow your app to access restricted capabilities like redadevicedata writedevicedata etc.

tl;dr use unprotected uid to test , change to ovi supplied uid to publish.
