The source code of Screenshot for Symbian OS version 2.71 has been released. What’s new? Backup/Restore!
Finally I have managed to make backup/restore fully working. For you who have installed Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd) version 2.60 or 2.70 may notice that backup/restore does not work properly. When you restore, the image that is supposed be displayed on the main window disappear.
I am sorry it took quite some time to fix this problem. The problem is because backup/restore does not work with developer certificate from Symbian Signed. That’s why I could not properly test it. I had to submit the application to Symbian Signed and hope the best that everything works. Unfortunately, it is not the case.
So, how could I fix the problem? Thanks to Eric from NewLC.com. He just published an article, How to enable backup and restore for Symbian OS applications, that helps me a lot. He mentioned that backup/restore works for self-signed certificate. Great! Although I cannot use developer certificate for testing, I can use self-signed certificate. Well, I had to tweak my application a little bit because it uses protected SID; while we need unprotected SID for self-signed certificate.
No worry if you don’t understand what I was talking in the previous paragraph. The important is that the backup/restore now works. I am happy now….
