Qt on Symbian: how to share an application?
-
I sort of trying to write a simple application and share it with my friend who has a Nokia 5530 device. So, now I have built it in Qt Creator, run on HW, everything looks cool. Qt Creator has generated a SIS file. I guess, sharing this SIS won't help - it is not signed so far and so it won't install on the friend's Nokia. Question is - what do I do?
Heard something about free signing, but is it working already?

You have to "self sign" your app. See "Self Signing":http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Introduction_to_Self_Signed for some infos. Also, there's a video+slides of Espen's talk at "Akademy":http://akademy.kde.org/program/conference ("How to get your Qt based application on the OVI store") where he talks about various signing options.
Hope this helps :)

AFIAK the sis file produced by Qt Creator is self signed. So you can give it to your friend it will work on his device.

Thanks, guys!

Mail your friend the .sis file generated from Qt Creator. It is self-signed and will install fine. Then tell your friend
Download and install "http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/symbian/4.6.3/qt_installer.sis":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/symbian/4.6.3/qt_installer.sis
Install the .sis file you sent him
Launch Programs->Your app
Enjoy
