Launcher tests if an application can be launched and then, if the launch +has failed, reports the possible reason for the failure. It is a very useful +application when checking the build as the user can instantly see if the +applications work. Launcher can also be used when testing binary +compatibility issues because it can reveal any DLL files missing from the +device. + +Main Features: +============== +- Show a list of installed applications in all drives +- Launch selected applications and read their statuses from threads +- In case of a failure, report thread's exit type, reason and category +- Show missing DLL files required by the binary to be launched +- Show problems on the UI and print all cases to a log file +- Generate a list of DLLs in the device to a file +- Analyse binary compatibility of system DLLs comparing them to a user + given reference data. Report any binary compatibility issues or missing + DLL files. + +=============================================================================== + +What's New in v3.7.0 +==================== +- Feature: Binary compatiblity check for DLLs, which checks UID1, UID2, UID3, SID +and capability values of system DLLs against an XML-formatted input file. +- Fix: Launcher panics when comparing a large DLL list against system DLLs. +- Fix: Launcher panics when application launching is cancelled. + +=============================================================================== + +Installation Notes: +=================== +Launcher is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the +ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, a .sis file can be found under the sis- +directory, but the user needs to sign it with their own developer certificate. +In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the +internal\sis directory. + +When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are +needed: + PowerMgmt + ReadDeviceData + WriteDeviceData + AllFiles + ReadUserData + WriteUserData + +When building Launcher against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK +environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the +instructions under the "envpatcher" directory. + +=============================================================================== + +System Requirements: +==================== +Basic Requirements: +- Any S60 3.x device or emulator environment + +=============================================================================== + +Compatibility Issues: +===================== +N/A + +=============================================================================== + +Known Issues: +============= + +Fails in a test despite the application is working correctly +------------------------------------------------------------ +- Some application may exit immediately after a launch. This can be + normal behavior and should be checked manually. Such application is, for example, + irapp.exe. + +Binary compatibility check support +---------------------------------- +- Currently, only uncompressed and deflate compressed ELF binaries are + supported. This means that for example WINSCW is not supported. + +=============================================================================== + +Version History: +================ + +Version 3.6.3 - 14th March 2008 +------------------------------- +- Change: Removed unnecessary capabilities + +Version 3.6.2 - 6th November 2007 +-------------------------------- +- Fix: Applications can be selected/unselected on a touch UI +- Fix: Scroll bar in the output view can be scrolled on a touch UI + +Version 3.6.1 - 9th October 2007 +-------------------------------- +- Fix: Layout in out tab in mirrored mode +- Fix: Codescanner high warnings + +Version 3.6.0 - 25th January 2007 +--------------------------------- +- Fix: Re-fix problems when reading import section from binaries +- Fix: Output screen for larger resolutions +- Fix: Stopping of launching + +Version 3.5.0 - 4th December 2006 +--------------------------------- +- Fix: Problems when reading import section from binaries +- Change: Marquee used for items in the application list view + +=============================================================================== + +Copyright (c) 2009 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies). +All rights reserved. + +This component and the accompanying materials are made available +under the terms of "Eclipse Public License v1.0" +which accompanies this distribution, and is available +at the URL "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html".
