Open Signed Online (BETA) Service Information

• Open Signed Online beta service has now moved to 24hour availability
• If we discover issues that impact the performance and/or functionality of the service. Such problems may result in the service being taken off-line at short notice for extended periods.
• The Open Signed Online process is fully described here.
• Note that Open Signed Online currently does not allow you to sign a SIS that is "owned" by someone else and hasn't been enabled for Open Signing; i.e. if a SIS uses a UID from the "Protected Range", the email address you use for Open Signed Online MUST match the email address of the account which owns/created the UID.
• If you attempt to sign the same SIS file in rapid succession, the service you receive will proportionally slow down. This is to prevent abuse of the service.
• Installation of the signed SIS file will be restricted to the IMEI (i.e. mobile phone) you entered and valid for 36 months.
• SIS files that have been Open Signed will present a notification upon installation that the SIS file is intended for development purposes only.
• The service will work for SIS files intended for all Symbian-based UIs, i.e. S60 and UIQ.
• SIS files can be signed for all Platform Security Capabilities except CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin, DRM, AllFiles, TCB.

I would remove your IMEI number if I were you Puku.!

[Calamity]

so you missed the massive, bold, capitalised, sticky text that said no one can take signing requests?
for gods sake people.

This whole scenario has me curious.

Do we know what it was that caused "the powers that be" to make this change? ...So many developers out there seem to rely on users being able to sign files themselves. I imagine this will restrict the developmental process.

Clearly, I am assuming someone out there will benefit from this. Maybe I'm just being too cynical.

Earlier last year, no-one was able to even register on the site for a period of approx three months, if memory serves me correctly...

Symbiansigned.com and the organisation that manages it, is a JOKE! ... in my opinion.

[jayen_aitch]

Ah, yes, I had not considered simple ineptitude.

Twelve years online and I have to say Symbian Signed have one of them most confused and disorganised web sites I have ever seen.

And if they don't want individuals to sign apps for their own use, simply say so.

[psood21]

i agree with that one spook...
