Hint: Check that your certificate can be used to sign all capabilities needed by your application. For example, if you use self-signed certificate, you can only sign basic set capabilities, i.e. NetworkServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, LocalServices and UserEnvironment. If your application requires one of the extended capabilities, for example SwEvent, you cannot sign it with self-signed certificate. In this case, apply for developer certificates from Symbian Signed. Message: Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier.

An installation (SIS) file must be signed with a digital signature, which helps in verifying the identity of the vendor. This ensures that the file has not been tampered with since it was signed. Software install package files can be signed multiple times. However, it is not required to sign the file with multiple signatures at the same time. Signatures can be added and removed from a package file at any time if the relevant keys are available.

Supports the signing of SIS files with self-signed certificates or Symbian developer certificates. Self-signed certificates The term self-signed means that the SIS file is signed by the creator of the SIS file. A SIS file is self-signed if it signed by a certificate that has been self generated. For example, using. SIS files can be signed by Symbian application developers for programs that: • do not use any APIs protected by capability checks. • only require platform security capabilities that belong to the 'user' or 'basic' capabilities group. If the Software Installer is required to install a program with these capabilities, it can display capability information to the Symbian device user and provide an option to continue or cancel the installation.

As long as the application requests no system capabilities, self-signed SIS files can be installed depending on how the installation policy has been configured by the device creator. Note: Self-signed SIS files are not associated with a root certificate present on the device. Symbian developer certificates To test applications on Symbian devices, the SIS file can be signed with a Symbian developer certificate.
