Guide On How To Dev-sign A Sis File For Nokia S60 3rd Devices

Note : In this guide I will be signing an app called "xyz" as an example. When you sign a real app, simply substitute "xyz" with the actual app name.


--------------------------------START--------------------------------

Tools Required :

1. SignSIS Files Attached File signsis_files.zip

2. Register an account on www.symbiansigned.com

Guide :

1. Create a new folder on your desktop containing the unsigned SIS and the two files from signsis_files.zip.

2. Open the DevCertRequest tool that you downloaded and installed as per item 3 above under Tools Required.

You must now create a name and an output directory for the cert request you will be creating. Give it any name and choose the folder that you created in step 1 for the output directory. Then hit next.

3. On the next screen, check No. Then next to "Private key file" browse to the folder you created in step 1 and give your key file the same name you've been using. Then click on Open.

5. Populate the required fields on the next screen with any data and then click next.

6. Now you will have to add your device's IMEI number to the cert. Follow the guide in the image below and if you do not know your device's IMEI, enter *#06# on your device in the standby screen.

7. Highlight all of the "Application Capabilities" and click Add.

9. You will now see four new files in the folder you created in step 1.

Once the CSR is uploaded, simply click on "My DevCerts" in the menu on the left and you will see a link to download your newly created certificate (CER file). Save it in the folder you created in step 1.

You now have everything you need to sign your SIS file.

Open auto_signsis.bat in MS Notepad (Look at screenshot below to see how to open).
You will see that it currently contains the following :

signsis xyz.sis xyz_signed.sis xyz.cer xyz.key 12345

Replace every "xyz" as appropriate. So if your unsigned file (and all of the files you named above) is called "MyApp", then the text in the batch file should read :

signsis MyApp.sis MyApp_signed.sis MyApp.cer MyApp.key 12345

Save the batch file (choose Save, not Save As) and exit.

--------------------------------DONE--------------------------------

Now just go back to the folder you created in step 1 and double-click on auto_signsis.bat. Your newly signed SIS file will be created in the same folder for you to install and enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind that the Developer Certificates only last 6 months.
So you will have to apply for another dev cert after 6 months.
