Getting Started with Symbian

This guide describes how to set up your development environment for Cordova and run a sample application. Note that Cordova used to be called PhoneGap, so some of the sites still use the old PhoneGap name.

Cordova Installer - Xcode 4 Template

Requirements

Windows, OS X, or Linux

There are also QT for Symbian and Symbian with Sony Ericsson guides.

Install SDK + Cordova

Download and install cygwin (Windows only). Make sure you select “make” as it is not included by default
Download the latest copy of Cordova and extract its contents. We will be working with the Android directory.

Setup New Project

In cygwin, navigate to where you extracted Cordova and go into the Symbian directory

Hello World

Open up index.html located in phonegap/symbian/framework/www with your favourite editor.
In the body tag, remove the line "Build your phonegap app here! Dude!" and add the line <h1>Hello World</h1>
In cygwin/terminal, type make. This will produce phonegap-symbian.wrt/app.wgz.

5A. Deploy to Simulator

For Mac or Linux you should install Aptana Studio and Nokia WRT Plug-in for Aptana Studio. This has a browser-based javascript emulator
For Windows you can download the S60 SDK which includes the S60 Emulator
Load the phonegap-symbian.wrt/app.wgz file into the emulator.

5B. Deploy to Device

Load the phonegap-symbian.wrt/app.wgz file into the device using bluetooth or email.

Done!
