From what I've understood I must use Symbian c++ in Qt, but now the prblem is that I'm not able to do, what I'd like to know is:
1- how to start standard nokia camera
2- how can i catch photoThanks for your support.

Refer "this":http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Camera_Application_Engine_API link for achieving the above in symbian.

But the link that you've posted talk about S60, can i use it even if I'm developping to symbian^3?

As mentioned above - it should most probably work with Symbian^3 if the plugin is available.

Yes and better develop the complete app in Symbian than Qt as you need to put it on Ovi. You will have to develop the engine in native Symbian and if you develop the ui part also in Symbian instead of Qt - probably your app will support wider range of devices.

But then again you Qt mobility is mainly for mobile devices and these API's won't be supported on Desktop right. And N900 being the only maemo device with Qt updates the target audience is very few. Maybe once meego comes in the scenario might change.

It says "but also provide useful application functionality across desktop platforms." -
Well Qt Mobility obviously has a very useful API set and is very quick to code with. Better to use the wheel than reinvent it. And it does link in well with Qt. SmartInstaller means that you don't need to worry about whether the user has it on their system or not. So, it's win/win.
What would you use instead?The only problem (with regards to topic) is that the QtMobility the user wants isn't allowed to be deployed in Ovi, yet.

[quote author="xsacha" date="1291446040"]Oh I guess Nokia weren't talking about QtMobility. I got it confused when Nokia mentioned that all Qt4.6.3 apps will work in future.
Well just keep updating your apps if they ever break ;) I'm sure Nokia won't break it intentionally.[/quote]
But these days decisions made by Nokia confuses developers a lot. You cannot say if they will stick to one plan. Especially, the way the roadmap is being changed.

You don't get Qt apps signed. Nokia signs it for you. It's completely free. (Exception being when it requires too much capability).
I submit unsigned app on Ovi Publish, mark it as 'unsigned' and Nokia does the rest. Hopefully this is what you meant.
[quote author="tamhanna" date="1291449010"] This is a question of taste.[/quote]
Only if they break compatibility. If they didn't, it would be a no-brainer. Code a little, little. -
Well both of you are right. Just to add the app which nokia signs cannot be distributed via any other channel. It can be distributed only via Ovi. Thats the catch for free ovi signing.
-
I didn't say you can't sign it yourself. I'm saying that's the way you're meant to submit apps on Ovi and that's the way I do it. It fits in with QtCreator, it's the easiest and of course free.
If your app needs more than basic capabilities, then you'll need to pay to sign of course.Nokia gives you free UID3's by the way. In allotments of five unless you require more.
My route is 0 euros a pop.
