GPS and Signing

[Thommas]

Hello,

The first solution :
replacing KLGPSTester.swf by mine works fine.
However this doesn't seem to be a clean way to do it.

The second solution :
I bought a commercial version of kunerilite. With Protected UIDs I got from Symbian Signed.

Now, I found on www.symbiansigned.com a way to get a unique signed sis for a specific IMEI.
However, the sis I got from them doesn't want to install on my phone and the error message tells me nothing specific about the reason why it fails.

The same goes for kunerilite auto signed and unsigned sis which both doesn't want to install on my phone.

To use the GPS Plugin, it seems that I need .crt and .key files ... but how to get them ?
Should we pay again ?

I would like to show my application to Nokia Calling all Innovator contest ... what should I do ?

Thank you !
Best regards.

Hello,

if you use protected UIDs, you need to follow the Symbiansigned certification procedure, which always require TC TrustCenter Publisher ID.
You can seee more from here:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/TC_TrustCenter_Publisher_ID

(I think it is not possible to get one without company)

Cheers,
Jukka

EDIT: Removed 'unprotected', because its no use for GPS..

Ok.

We just got our Publisher ID.
I managed to create the required files : .key and .cer

When I compile my Signed SIS, I put my certificate, my password.

After that, I try to install both signed and unsigned SIS.
They both give me an error on my Nokia N95 2gb.

Both say : wrong certificate, call the company.

Any help ?

Thank you.

Hi Thommas,

Have you used Symbian DevCert tool? I think you are using original .key and .cer generated from Publisher ID certificate files.
Those you'll need for creating Developer Certificate (another .cer file).
You can download tool from Symbiansigned.com. It will generate a file, which you need
to enter at symbiansigned.com, producing new .cer file. That .cer plus original .key you can then enter into KL.

(If you go through Express Signing (costs) for official signing, forget this DevCert and use those original .key and .cer, to sign app via SymbianSigned.com directly).

Cheers,
Jukka

Oh yes !

Forgot that step.

Thank you for your quick response !!

Some more questions.

The cer file I just got from "Symbian DevCert tool"...
can I use it directly, or should I send it again to symbiansigned ?

I just added the IMEI of my Nokia phone.

But if I want to sign my SIS file for people from the nokia contest "Calling All Innovators" to test my application.
What should I do ?

Thanks.

DevCertRequest tool produces .csr file, to be sent to Symbiansigned.com.

If you want to create final product SIS, enter original .key and .cer files into KL
and create the SIS. You cannot install that yet. You need also couple of other files into one zip file, to be uploaded into Symbiansigned (please see more info from "submissions" section in your Symbiansigned account). After a moment, you will get final SIS, which anyone can use.

Cheers,
Jukka

Thank you for all these pieces of information.

I followed these steps BUT

>>> "Open the .cer part of your Publisher ID (Use the tcp12 tool to split the Publisher ID into the .cer and .key files)."

tcp12 tool doesn't work on the .crt file ... it gives me an error when I try to separate it in .cer and .key files ...

Any clue ?

[Thommas]

I sent my key file in the private message.

Waiting for symbiansigned return.

Thanks.

"    *  Now you can sing your .Sis file using this TC TrustCenter certificate as follows.

 signsis My.SIS My.SIS tc.cer tc.key mypassword"

Isn't Kunerilite wizard guide supposed to do this step ? When I specified both files and password ... ?

About the GPS module.

I get Latitude and Longitude like this :
4,6203452809

I need >> 4.6203452809
to be able to use it in Flash as a Number.

Why did you choose to use a comma ?

My application is pretty slow when I ask for GPS coordinates every 5 seconds. Can you give us advice about how to optimize the use of the GPS ?

Thank you.

Last but not least :
"    *  Now you can sing your .Sis file using this TC TrustCenter certificate as follows.

 signsis My.SIS My.SIS tc.cer tc.key mypassword"

Where can I find "signsis" executable ?

Sorry for disturbing you all the time.

Hi, no problem of asking, faster this way to solve it

* You can use KuneriLite for signing SIS. Enter .cer, .key pair and pw into last screen of Wizard.

* We use only dot in returned lat/long value, its in form 4.6203452809.
You can verify this from klResponse.txt in your application installation directory in phone. May I ask where this comma comes from?

* For GPS implementation there are some good guidelines: http://wiki.kunerilite.net/index.php?title=Tutorials
In FL3 player frequent loadVar/getUrl calls slow down the player. I've been reported that latest firmware update improves that, but I haven't checked that out yet.

I hope that helps

It's in klPosLatitude & klPosLongitude variables.
It might come from the fact I use a French system. In France, comma is used instead of point for decimal numbers.
But I don't understand then why it would end up like this in your code. Maybe because my Nokia N95 is French too ?
A small test I could carry out would be to put my Nokia in English and see what happens.

"In FL3 player frequent loadVar/getUrl calls slow down the player. I've been reported that latest firmware update improves that, but I haven't checked that out yet."
I think I put the very latest firmware update for my Nokia.
If it's that slow ... I will try to improve my code.
And I think I have to set my interval to 10 sec instead of 5 sec.
I also found out that my application killed my battery in about 30 minutes. I believe there is nothing that can be done to prevent this.

"I hope that helps"
Thanks.
