FAQ: What Does Granting “Trusted Application” Status Mean?
Awhile back RIM introduced a new prompt after you download an application that asks if you want to grant the application “Trusted Application” status. I have always wondered what the hell that means and the knowledgeable Brian Z. has finally answered my question on the RIM Developers Blog. Brain says the prompt only started with OS 4.6+ but I remember getting it on my 8310…
The following are the scenarios that can happen at this dialog box:
If you select Yes and grant “Trusted Application" status:
Commonly needed permissions will be granted to the application and all permissions will be set to Allow except for:
- Prompt – Recording, Security Timer Reset
- Deny – Input Simulation, Browser Filtering, Display Information While Locked
If you select No and are connected to a BES server:
All permissions are set to “Allow” with the exception of:
- Prompt – Recording, Phone, Location Data, Server Network, Internet
- Deny – Browser Filtering, Input Simulation, Security Timer Reset, Display Information While Locked
If you select No and are not connected to a BES server:
All permissions are set to “Allow” with the exception of:
- Prompt – Recording, Phone, Location Data
- Deny – Browser Filtering, Input Simulation, Security Timer Reset, Display Information While Locked
Brian goes into further detail for developers and how to handle these prompts. Good reading if you develop BlackBerry apps.
