Find out about Testing, Signing and Technical Support

Application testing is a required component of the development process. Every application offered through Nokia sales channels must have Java Verified™ or Symbian Signed certification guaranteeing its integrity. This section provides directions and helpful guidelines to minimise time-to-market through fast, efficient, and easy application testing.

You will also find information about Forum Nokia Technical Support, which offers technical expertise to mobile developers during the application development process. Technical support can be used to solve a specific problem or answer a focused technical question, on a case-by-case basis.

Go to Market

Let’s suppose you’ve just completed development on a new application that will forever change the way people use their mobile devices. Now what? Are you prepared to market and sell your product to consumers around the world?

The new publishing to Ovi tool enables third-party application and content developers to easily access a single Nokia channel — the Ovi Store — that can reach many millions of consumers. This channel will create instant revenue opportunities: Developers who use the publishing to Ovi tool will receive a 70 per cent revenue share from their applications and content that are distributed through the Ovi Store. The store offers consumers applications, games, personalisation content, and more.
