signature protection level

[Mnewbie]

Hi,

How do I sign my app with the "system key" if I am only running it on the emulator? Where do I find the "system key"?

Thanks

"A permission that the system grants only if the requesting application is signed with the same certificate as the application that declared the permission. If the certificates match, the system automatically grants the permission without notifying the user or asking for the user's explicit approval. "

Here, what is the "application that declared the permission", and where do I get the certificate for that?

Thanks!

If you are signing with the system cert, you are building your own system image and know what it is.  If not, you shouldn't be using it.
