NOTE On Symbian OS 9.x builds, if the key/cert pair are not defined, makekeys will be called and temporary ones will be generated for you to "self-sign" the application. Self-signed applications should be in the 0xE0000000-0xEFFFFFFF range.

NOTE All Application TRK build configuration require a PKG file. If none is found in the active project then you will be asked to choose one.
