My application is developed in Satellite Forms v5.2, but I would like to try to get the "Palm Powered" logo certification. According to the certification requirements, all debug options must be turned ON during emulator/simulator testing of our app. However, Satellite Forms requires that all debug options be turned OFF in order to run in the emulator (because of OS calls, I guess) without crashing.
So... can a Satellite Forms-developed app be certified under this program?? Has anyone done this? Do you need a special exemption??
I would hope that you can't get an exemption. If Satellite Forms is not stable enough to be run with all the debug options, then it and anything created with it, should not qualify for the certification. The certification has been designed, as far as I understand it, to say that the applications run reasonably well and don't suffer from crashing issues.
I'd recommend trying to get Satellite Forms to fix their application so that it can pass certification or write your application from scratch so that you don't rely on someone's unstable application.
(I've never used Satellite Forms, but I'd be very afraid of any application that can't run in the emulator with all debug flags turned on.)
This is just my opinion; if your application can get certified running on top of Satellite Forms (in its current state), then it completely dilutes the value of the certified logo.
