At first sorry for my bad english. I have the following problem with a j2me application. I try to iinstall MapNav on my SLVR L9 but there is a certificate problem so that i can't give the needed permission to this app. It needs rights to read and write user data and i must be able to say that the application ask only once per app. The only rights that i can give are: Yes, ask alway / No, ask later or Never ask(acces denied). Now the question. Is there any way to make this app usable on the L9? I researched all over the Internet and read something about a developer certificate. Would i be able to sign the app be me with such a certificate? How much would it cost?

I thank you in advance

Kudos!

Dear Developer,

Developer certificate is free but it is meant for signing a MIDlet during development stage of the application, so I'm not sure if that would help. Secondly, depending on the API(s) that are being called in that application, the only solution would be for the applciation to be signed by higher level certificate (either your carrier or handset manufacturer). Unfortunately, Motorola only offers signing for applications that are bundled/preloaded on the device during manufacturing. In other words, only for application that are part of the OS image during the manufacturing of the phone.

One other path would be to request for your carrier to sign the application, otherwise, prompting will continue to occur on that application as you described.
