Test Signature Generator

We've successfully generated signatures in the past, but are not able to do so today. Anyone tried it today (March 15 afternoon).

Quick trick : The test sig file can actually be the same file fro each app on a phone, just renamed to be the new name of the app.

For instance, say you had an application called "foo", you would create a "foo.mif" file that would live in the root dor of the phone. You would then create a "foo" directory of the phone, and into it place the "foo.mod", "foo.bar", and "foo.sig" files.

Lets say you THEN want an app called "bar" on the phone. Take the "foo.sig" file you used for that phone (based on the phone's ESN), and rename it to "bar.sig", then copy "bar.mif" to the root dir of the phone, create a "bar" directory, and place the "bar.mod", "bar.bar", and "bar.sig" (which is actually a copy of "foo.sig" renamed to be "bar.sig").

For testing purposes, we generated a sig file that matched our phone's ESN - call it 1337BEEF.sig (or whatever the ESN is). Each app then gets that file copied and renamed to match the app as its sig file.
