What this UID values mean?

Hi all

In the Helloworld.mmp file I found this UID values:

TARGETTYPE app
UID 0x100039CE 0X10008ACE

I think the First line is UID 1, 2nd line first number is UID2 and the 2nd number UID 3.......
My question is, suppose I am writing a Bluetooth App for my 7650, can I use any number from 0x00000001 - 0x0FFFFFFF as UID2 and UID3 ?(this app will only b a development app )

Nimo

I think not, check forum.nokia.com, they say:
** The UID MUST NOT collide with any existing UID of other applications **

check:

Hmm. seems that this answer is be�ng discussed there too.

Yes, but when you develop an application you get an temporary UID from APPwizard. This u can use for Development and generally! It is unlikely that the UIDs collide however, if you want to release an application its better to contact symbian and they provide you with UIDs! However, as a said there are a lot of applications that use this temproary UID!

Yes, true. 😃
I was just trying to be exact about it. 😉

anyways this thread should be in c++ section
