Question:
My application has both S60 and UIQ version, do I need to create 2 SIS files and sign them separately, or can I put them in one sis file and submit them at one time?

Answer:
Prior to Symbian OS v9, application versions for different Symbian OS UI platforms (e.g. Nokia Series60 and UIQ) must be submitted and signed in separate SIS files.

The reason for this is that the Symbian OS v7 installer in UIQ2 based phones will only allow SIS files with a single product/platform ID specified to be installed. This means that you can't also specify series60 product/platform IDs and have the SIS file install on a UIQ2-based phone. UIQ3 is based on Symbian OS v9.1, which allows multiple product IDs to be specified; so this limitation will not exist for UIQ3 phones.
