Platform UID

The platform UID for S60 5th Edition is 0x1028315F.

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,

0x102752AE for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2
0x102032BE for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1
0x101F7961 for S60 3rd Edition
0x102032BF for S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3
0x10200BAB for S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 2
0x101F9115 for S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 1 (v2.1)
0x101F7960 for S60 2nd Edition (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 5th 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 5th Edition projects may still incorrectly use round brackets for the dependency line.
