Hi Hackborn, Thanks a lot for your quick response. My application sits on the device with users acceptance only. Once I have installed my app, I should be able to download any properly signed APK onto the device and install it on the device without any user intervention. And the users of the devices will be intimated about the installation.
This is possible on Symbian. Can you suggest me a way, since I have to have this in my APP. Is there any workaround for this or any hidden API ?
