The AIR Packager is based on a beta product, the resulting packages are not. You can submit the .SIS files through SymbianSigned, in fact others have done this already. Good Luck!

I renamed the SISX to SIS from the command prompt and then deleted the signature from the SIS
(generated from the Symbian Signed option) using sis edit tool and then signed with my DevCert. Couldn’t install still. Error : “Unable to install, contrained by the certificate.”

Hi Mark,

Yes, the indefinite state happens just once. 2 more questions plz.

1. Shall I rename the SISX through the command prompt (in PC) : move MyApp.SISX MyApp.SIS ; will this work?

2. Refering to your third option, as mentioned in the Symbian Signed process, I should be using the allotted UID and then do a test on my handset, with the DevCert created through the Publisher ID (p12 file from the trust center), before I submit for the Certified Signed. I guess, this step cannot be perfomed with this packager as for an unsigned option, I can’t enter the protected UID (or can I…?)…is there a workaround?

Regards,
Supriya

Hi Mark,

I just meant to ask whether I can use this packager for creating the SIS to be sent to Symbian Signed for getting my app Certified Signed. Refering “Adobe AIR 2 is in the early stages of development which means it contains bugs, and not all features are fully implemented. This software is for evaluation use only, and should not be used for any mission-critical work. ” in http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html

Hi Supriya,
Some answers…
1. This happens only once I believe, I’m not sure why but you should just restart the application and try again.
2. Agreed, this was a mistake – you can change the extension to .sis
3. It is not possible to do this, you need to generate a developer certificate to install. You can test using the unsigned option, and then using the signing option for release.

The goal with this tool is to make it as simple as possible for developers and designers to package applications for Symbian. I made some decisions to simplify the process, so for someone who clearly understands the Symbian security and certificate usage it might look strange. The result however, is an tool that’s easier for most people to use, hopefully.

Hi Supriya, only the packaging tool is created with Adobe AIR. The packages uses Adobe Flash Lite, so you should use that.

Hi, Changing the target disk is not supported as this would allow content to be copied from the memory card. Using the RAM disk and C: drive for storage is also faster for installation.

Hi Mark,

This packager surely comes as a breather, but I face a few problems while packaging:

1. When I do not select the Symbian Signing option, the packaging goes on indefinitely.

2. If I select the Symbian Signed option and enter the allotted UID and the publisher ID, I get a SISX, which is not permitted for sending for the Certified Signed to Symbian.

3. Also, this SISX is signed with the Publisher ID, I am unable to test this app on my phone also. I have tried deleting this signature and signing with the certificate from Open Signed Offline, but even that doesn’t seem to work on my phone.

In the above cases 2 & 3, I get the following error: Unable to install, contrained by the certificate.

Please help.

Regards,
Supriya Tenany

Hi Mark,

I aim to publish my flash lite 3.0 app at the Ovi store for S60 3rd edition up, after getting it a Certified Signed from Symbian. Should I use Adobe AIR 2 Beta 2 or Adobe AIR 1.5.3 or none?

Please let me know.

Thanks.
