Getting Symbian Signed

From MoDe

[edit]

Getting an app signed with R&D certificate.

1. Register and get an account at http://www.symbiansigned.com/

2. Download and install SymbianSigned Dev Cert Request tool from https://www.symbiansigned.com/DevCertRequest_30_10_2006_v2.0.exe Note: this is MS Windows program!

3. Run the Dev Cert Request tool to create Dev Cert Request. When asked if "ACS Publisher ID" is available, select "No". Create private key file (private_key.cnf) and remember Private key file password - you will need it later! When you are asked which capabilities you need, add all of them. When you are asked for IMEI number of the device, enter your phone's IMEI.

4. Go to SymbianSigned, log in and go to "My Symbian Signed" -> "Developer Certificates" -> "Request" (or directly to: https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/barclayhtml/devcert/requestupload.jsp ) . Submit the .csr file created by the SymbianSigned Dev Cert Request tool in above steps. Note: ignore the orange box, this involves capabilities that were not listed in the Request tool.

5. Go to "My Symbian Signed" -> "Developer Certificates" -> "My DevCerts" and download the certificate from there.


6. If you have not done so before: Go to Forum.nokia.com and find the page "S60 Platform SDKs for Symbian OS, for C++" (It might be this page: http://forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/4a7149a5-95a5-4726-913a-3c6f21eb65a5/S60-SDK-0616-3.0-mr.html ). Download latest SDK, currently 3rd ed. FP1. Install it. Note: this is MS Windows program and has to be installed in MS Windows.


7. Now, get the key file, certificate file and the sis file into a single directory (it's easiest, but not necessary). Then run from command line:

signsis -cr -s unsigned.SIS signed.sis your.cer your.key yourpassword 

* unsigned.SIS - the unsigned file
* signed.sis - the signed file that will be created
* your.cer - your certificate file
* your.key - your key file
* yourpassword - the password I told you to remember from when you created the certificate request.

The signed sis file now can be sent over BT or any other way to the phone for installation
