kojacker, if it requires a trusted source certificate to run surely it can be entered into the competition in this case as if it was installed via Store it would be a trusted source...So if you could try using inception and it works then IMO it should be entered into the competition as if he published this in Store instead it would work too...

The above is what I think but I'm still unsure of how the audio permissions require a trusted source...Maybe you can advice him to try uploading his app to Apps4Meego where using the OBS will give him the trusted source certification but if his app has other issues it won't work there too meaning becoming ineligible for the competition...


Edit: I'm quite sure we shouldn't be putting system requirements like inception into the competition now as then you might get quite a number of apps that require inception to be entered under "Updates" leading to a "moving of the goalposts" scenario...
