Packaging and signing the stub application

Packaging and signing are described extensively in section Packaging and signing a Flash Lite application. If this is a new area to you, please read that before continuing.

To collect all the files created in the building process into one SIS package, you need to create a Symbian Package (PKG) description file in your project's sis directory. A Package (PKG) file is a text file containing instructions that are required by the SIS file creation utilities.

In this use case, the following example PKG file is used:

; standard SIS file header
#{"StubExample"},(0x01234657),1,0,0

;Supported S60 platforms
[0x102752AE], 1, 0, 0, {"S60ProductID"}

;Localized Vendor Name
%{"MyVendor"}

;Unique Vendor Name
:"MyVendor Ltd"

; Files to copy
"[SDKPath]\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\stub.exe"-"!:\sys\bin\stub.exe"
"[SDKPath]\epoc32\data\z\private\10003a3f\import\apps\stub_reg.rsc"-"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\stub_reg.rsc"
"[SDKPath]\epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\stub_loc.Rsc"-"!:\resource\apps\stub_loc.Rsc"
"[SDKPath]\epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\stub.Rsc"-"!:\resource\apps\stub.Rsc"
"c:\Symbian\9.3\S60_3rd_FP2_Beta\epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\StubExample.mif" - "!:\resource\apps\StubExample.mif"
"C:\examples\stub\sis\stub.swf" - "!:\private\01234657\stub.swf"

The things you need to edit are the following

• standard SIS file header

  In here. you need to insert the same UID used in other parts of this use case in place of the value 0x01234657. The last three digits are the version number of this application.

• Both Vendor Names

• Files to copy

  This list includes all the files that are copied on to the mobile device. The first five rows are the built executable and resource files that were placed in the SDK subdirectories during the building process. Find your installed SDK's home directory and replace the [SDKPath] value with it. For example, if you are using the beta SDK for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, the directory is c:\Symbian\9.3\S60_3rd_FP2_Beta.

For the rest of the signing process, refer to instructions about packaging and signing in section Packaging and signing a Flash Lite application.

You can now deploy your stub application on your mobile device.
