New Symbian Signed, new capabilities

widianuser | 14 December, 2007 17:42

As everyone must have noticed, Symbian Signed process and site have beed upgraded. Lots of discussion have been about new signing methods like Open Signed and Express Signed, but what does this new process mean to you during development time:

It means that if you have Publisher ID, you will get more capabilities than before.

Previously with Publisher ID you could get everything execpt CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin, DRM, AllFiles, TCB.

Now with publisher ID you will get everything except DRM, AllFiles, TCB. So CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin are there available for all developers with Publisher ID.

(OK, you could have got special access to those before with special process, but that's a different story.)

Hi Steven

I was wondering the same, however a quick Google search brought up this:

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/TC_TrustCenter_Publisher_ID

I hope this answers your question.

Cheers

In Europe and US this 200$ cost is not very painfull fee for hobbyists, but how about in China and India.

150$

new SS form

You may "get" the capabilities, but SymbianSigned has now added a section to the application submission form on which you must describe and justify your usage of EVERY SINGLE ITEM in the API which requires ANY capability, even those which used to be included if you had a publisher ID. Three more hours down the tubes, for filling out a form resubmitting an application which had already been tested once!!

Unfortunately TrustCenter is the only certificate authority Symbian accepts now and price is the same regardless of your location. You are right that price can be a problem for hobbyists.

200$ for developer

I just want to know how much Publisher ID costs in India or in China. In Europe and US this 200$ cost is not very painfull fee for hobbyists, but how about in China and India. So developers from India and China, what is your local Publisher ID fee?

You buy it from TC TrustCenter with 200$ for 1 year. Details on www.symbiansigned.com.
