I've built my app using the 7.0s SDK and everything works fine on the
Emulator, but unfortunately the only device I have available to test on is a
Nokia 6682 which uses Symbian 8.0a. When I submit my app to the test house
I want to request it to be tested with the Nokia 6682, since I know for sure
that it works.
For the PKG-07 test (Product / platform version compatibility), what should
I use in my .pkg file?
- Do I have to use the 8.0a id, Symbian Series 60 2nd Edition FP2
(0x10200bab), even though the app probably works on 7.0s?
- Or can I still use a 7.0s id, Series 60 2nd Edition FP1 (0x101F9115) but
have it tested on an 8.0a device?
Also, when using TOOL8 (AppTest Lite from SysOpen Digia) I always fail the
test for PKG-07. Is this because currently I use the 8.0a id, on an 8.0a
phone, but compiled using the 7.0s SDK?
Summary:
- What id should I use in my .pkg?
- What SDK do I have to compile with?
Thanks!
Symbian signed will test on the device you specify when you submit the SIS
file. There is nothing to stop you using an earlier product ID than the one
for which you are submitting for testing.
However, even though SymbianSigned does not enforce it, you *should* not
declare support for a version in the past if you have not tested it. This is
because there is a good chance you will be compatible in future versions,
but a larger chance that you have used APIs etc that are not present on
earlier devices. Also, it affects both your and SymbianSigned reputations if
your application proves not to work on an earlier version.
With respect to AppTestLite, it tests the criteria .... So most likely
you're using a UID in the test range, or you are missing a specified
dependency. There is information on what is tested by the tool alongside the
tool when you download it.
