Is it necessary to sign apps before deploying them to devices? Isn’t there a workaround where we can deploy apps without signing?

It is possible to run an unsigned application on actual device, only if you did not use “signed API” classes.
In RIM API javadoc for every class there is information, does it belong to signed API or not.
For instance, Bitmap does not belong to “signed API”.
But Display class does.
Excerpt from
Displayclass description:Signed: This element is only accessible by signed clients. If you intend to use this element, please contact RIM to establish the necessary agreements that will allow you to have your COD files signed. Signing is only required for use on the device, development under the JDE can occur without signing the CODs.
