Profiles are used for easy adaptation of the phone for different circumstances. Mostly this concerns the audible behaviour of the phone, but it may also affect other functions. For example, in Off-line profile the cellular network functions are turned off.
The purpose of the Profiles Engine Wrapper API is to enable applications to control the profile specific data. The API is included in the S60 Platform 3.1 onwards.
This API is valid for all platforms running on Symbian OS 9.1 or later.
Profiles Engine Wrapper API is an SDK API and was first published in S60 Platform release 3.1.
