I have a query about Section 4.3: Declarative Requirements of the
Symbian_Signed_Criteria_v1_5.pdf. This section talks about declaring API
usage, highlighting APIs which are not meant for that device (or provided by
a particular SDK).
We need the IMSI for our application to function correctly, for this we are
using non-exposed APIs (some ETEL APIs). We can apply for a waiver but is
there a standard rule that such a waiver won't be granted or is it on a case
by case basis and according to the mood of the test house?
Cheers, AMK

Please be aware the new v2.0.0 criteria is now out, and you should begin to use
this instead - we've updated it to be easier to use, as well as adding more
exceptions and some new information for Symbian OS v9.

Waivers are granted by phone manufacturers not test houses - the test houses
simply abide by that decision. You do not need to apply for a waiver to use
APIs, waivers are designed to be for deviations from the test criteria where
there is a good reason. You may want to review whether you need a waiver at all
in this case.

Thanks Phil, this clears most issues up!
