Symbian Signed DevCerts
Paul.Todd | 06 September, 2006 16:31
Well, people at Symbian Signed have finally stood up and taken notice that developers really need DevCerts with All Files/ReadDeviceData/WriteDeviceData.
It seems, according to Mark over at the Symbian Devleoper News Group, that you may now request a devcert
This experience (as outlined below) seems to mirror our requests for Manufacturer Set Capabilities with an ACSID.
I would be interested to see how other people get on requesting updated dev certs. I think for most small scale developers this would represent a huge step forward bringing more people on board Symbian Developement as it makes the security permission roughly equivalent to Microsoft Windows CE.
So Kudos to Mark and the Symbian Signed Team!
This is an extract from the thread:
Not withstanding the discussion in the other part of this thread, you can
obtain a Developer Certificate for Freeware applications for any capabilities.
The process is that you need to email CellMania (symbian @ staff.cellmania.com), copying to Symbian Signed (symbiansigned @
symbian.com) [remove spaces either side of the @], and specifying the following:
- your name, email address and contact details (address, phone number)
- an overview of your application
- the IMEI number (one only) of the device you are using to test
- the full list of capabilities you require. For manufacturer-approved
capabilities, you need to briefly explain why these are required
We'll update the Freeware FAQ on www.symbiansigned.com with this information
in due course.

Hi Paul
I've not been on the Symbian signed newsgroup recently, so apologies if this is a redundant comment. Is the availability of the highly privileged capabilities any easier than previously? This recent presentation seems to refute that: http://nds2.fds-forum.nokia.com/fdp/interface?fid=A1A1NECKPVIJ&st=VCWg6MZxcdUHaa640c190afb2f5bdf705c2248939502ac45bfe07b20382586f6964672b18298689a792d00d79fe511fb3857f0c127c7fe7440ed8b1f98c219058cda4f4afcc28e34df92645325ab277d0b42a5d1e5fd9c6b673af5d7134bb0dd24150f0a62fb1c2628d63f0b415cd5d47bf77b0bbdea78e18b128f8d096cf927933be61199af47d1c5559951c84b0f504e35b06e517d5a44bf144ddec46e6fa881f9319754c58336d9f076f2e2cc&lid=FN

I merely posted what Symbian responded to on the newsgroup. It seems to be quite well policed in terms of having a justification.I hav'nt had a chance to even try it as I have been snowed under work wise, hence the lack of postings over the last week.
There is a clear distinction between DevCerts (linked to one phone) and final certification which is more along the Microsoft lines.
If it is not going to be possible to copy your own data for diagnostics then this is going to be big problem for a lot of developers
Who am I?
