Hi, I'm a developer out side USA and I'm required to develop an application using J2ME that allow us to send SMS, I tested this application on my phone which is unlocked and not tied to any telco, it works without any problem.

However, when I tested this on Sprint device using DeviceAnywhere, I encounter various kind of problem from 'Unable to Authorize' to error codes like 909, 906 etc.

I did a bit of research and found out that Sprint devices actually prevent application to use some API like WMA (Wireless Massaging API) unless we give permission to use it, so I believe I need to sign the application.

Now here's is the question. How do I get my application signed and ready for distributing? And also I would like to have a full procedure/tutorial/guides on how to distribute my J2ME application to Sprint devices.

Thank you.

A 909 error signifies that you are trying to access restricted APIs. In order not to get this error you would need to do one of two things:

1. Have a device that has its developer root enabled and have your application signed with the Sprint WTK (developer certificate).
2. Have the application production signed. An application can get a production signature by joining the Professional Developer Program (PDP).

When an application has a production you will be able to distribute it to any Sprint device.



Please see our Professional Developer Program page, located under Go to Market tab > Partner with Sprint, for more details .
