Platform UID

The platform UID for S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Feature Pack 2is 0x102752AE.

The UID is specified as a requisite in the installation package file (.pkg). To add the UID, include the following line in the .pkg file of the application:

[<UID of compatible platform>], 0, 0, 0, {"S60ProductID"}

The values used in the above are:

[<UID of compatible platform>]

The UID of the platform version that the application is compatible with.

For example,

0x102032BE for S60 3rd Edition SDK Feature Pack 1
0x101F7961 for S60 3rd Edition SDK
0x102032BF for S60 2nd Edition SDK Feature Pack 3
0x10200BAB for S60 2nd Edition SDK Feature Pack 2
0x101F9115 for S60 2nd Edition SDK Feature Pack 1 (v2.1)
0x101F7960 for S60 2nd Edition SDK (v2.0)

0, 0, 0

This is an unused version field; it must always be defined as (0,0,0).

{"S60ProductID"}

This is the name of the dependency. It is not used by the S60 platform, but this string will be displayed as part of an error message in the user interface of a non-S60 Symbian OS device if an attempt is made to install the .sis file. It is possible to supply multiple strings if the installation package is multi-lingual.

Note: In S60 3rd Edition the platform UID must be defined with square brackets in the .pkg file. If defined in round brackets, the platform UID is not recognized by the installer and installation of .sis file fails with an “Application not compatible” error. Notice, that some tools or IDEs that are capable of automatically creating .pkg files for S60 3rd Edition projects may still incorrectly use round brackets for the dependency line.
