      There are some issues with the comments here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qmake-platform-notes.html#symbian-platform

      • Stack and heap size
        "The default values depend on the version of the Symbian SDK you're using." - This is true. However its worth saying that Qt toolchain sets this to the maximum possible value and you shouldn't change this.
      • Unique identifiers
        1. FYI there is a UID1 too, which no app should ever need to touch
        2. The UID2 has a specific value for different types of files - e.g. apps/exes are always 0x100039CE. The example should use a specific example rather than an arbitrary number, and it is perhaps worth saying that the toolchain will set this for you for the most common file types - EXE/APP and shared library DLL.
        3. "If UID2 is not specified, it defaults to the same value as UID3. If UID3 is not specified, qmake will automatically generate a UID3 suitable for development and debugging. "
        This is a typo. - should be "If SID is not specified, it defaults to the same value as UID3."
        4. "This value should be manually specified for applications that are to be released. In order to optain an official UID, please contact Nokia. ". UID and VID are obtained from www.symbiansigned.com, not from Nokia.
        5. For more information about unique identifiers and their meaning for Symbian applications, please refer to the Symbian SDK documentation." - best link for this is http://developer.symbian.org/main/documentation/reference/s3/pdk/GUID-380A8C4F-3EB6-5E1C-BCFB-ED5B866136D9.html
      • Capabilities
        1. "priviledges " is miss-spelled
        2. Can you use an example other than AllFiles - ie NetworkServices. It is very very very hard for an application to get the AllFiles capabilities.
        3. Might be worth listing 2 capabilities to show that multiple capabilities are listed as space separated values.
