Adobe DPS Pricing

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to see if anyone could clarify some things for me on the DPS pricing, I'm set to launch my 1 time digital magazine so in doing this I must pay the $495 platform fee plus choose which .folio download option I want, my question is what happens if I purchase the 10,000 folio option but by magazine is only downloaded 5,000 times, what happens to the exta .folios? Thanks.

No problem! It's nice to have unlimited downloads without fees (Except of course the 30% cut that Apple takes...)
As for the time it takes for Apple to approve does vary a little bit. Usually it takes 6-7 days (I've never had an app approved less than 6 days), yet sometimes it can take 12-14 days depending on the amount of apps they are reviewing, the content you supply for the app, etc. There are at least 50 different factors that could go into their decision making and amount of time spent on reviewing your app. Keep in mind that if your app gets rejected, it can take longer as you then have to fix the "mistakes" and resubmit. Sometimes I've had that happen and I've had it take another 6-7 days before it would finally get approved. I had one multi-issue viewer app that took 5 weeks before it was finally approved.
I don't mean to scare you -- I just want to make you prepared for the monster called Apple and how their dictatorial style of app regulation can affect your app release date significantly!
I hope that helped! Feel free to ask any questions you need. I'm happy to answer them in any way I can.
Best Wishes,
Alex Rullo

DPS Pricing: Am I screwing anything up?

Hey all. I hate to find myself in short-term bugaboos here, but I'm trying to dissect Adobe's pricing model and make sure I communicate it correctly, lest my small agency venture into the territory of "unforseen hard costs".
We are looking to use the DPS platform to build an iPad based cookbook for a client. Pretty cut and dry. No subscriptions, gating, e-commerce or anything that might be construed as non-standard.
As I understand it, this is a single-use folio. Because we have a paid team subscription through the Creative Cloud, we will not incur any additional costs from Adobe to create our cookbook single-use folio in InDesign and publish it as an app.
We will incur a $99/year fee from Apple to register as a developer. Once we've undergone the lengthy approval process, we will then be able to have our published cookbook app distributed through the Apple App store. Because this is a single-use folio (i.e., there are no instances of multiple issues a la a Conde Nast magazine). If 100,000 people download this app, no additional fees are incurred.
Am I missing anything here? It seems like it's pretty simple - I'm just concerned about unanticipated surprises. Do I understand this pricing model correctly?
Thanks!
Neil

You're right that you can submit lots of apps but incorrect about keeping the app in the App Store after you cancel your iOS dev subscription.
https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/program-renewals.html
What happens if I do not renew my membership?
If your iOS Developer Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available on the App Store and you will not be able to submit new apps or updates. You will lose access to pre-release software, the Apple Developer Forums, the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and Technical Support Incidents. However, you will still have access to iTunes Connect and free development resources.
2 - No extra fees from Adobe for Single Edition apps.

Sending Push Notifications with Adobe DPS

Question.
I'm testing out all the Adobe DPS and Apple options. And one of the things I would like to test is Push Notifications.
I followed the iPad publishing guide to be able to get all the certificates so that's ok. Then I was looking for a way to send
push notifications. Because Adobe DPS doesn't really have a UI environment (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong ;-) to send push
notifications I have to do it 'by hand'. When I tested my app on my iPad I got the "app name wants to send you push notifications",
so i'm sure my certificates are working. Now I just need to send a push message.
So I followed this great tutorial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/3443/apple-push-notification-services-tutorial-part-12
I was able to do everything and was able to send a push notification ... but I never received it. And the reason for this is because
I don't have the app device token, which is a 64 character serial number which acts as your app address. So I don't have any way of sending the notification
to my particular app. (which is a test sideload multifolio app).
Because the Adobe DPS is cloud based you don't get any code (which I love). But I think that is currently stopping me
from finding out my device token.
What I'm asking:
- Does this mean I can't send any push notifications to Adobe DPS created apps?
- If this is supported somehow, I suppose (again, correct me) I need the app device token for the created app. Where do I get this?
Thanks !

At this time, it's not possible to manually push notifications. When you enable push, only publishing a new folio displays the red badge. At some point, when third-party push is supported, manual pushes will be possible.

Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.

On Adobe DPS and tracking.

Hello,
I am a completely new member to this community. Thank you in advance for all that may take a look at the following questions.
I am writing from the agency side of advertising. One of our clients use Adobe DPS, and our agency will soon be promoting the client's app to drive monthly subscriptions.
First question :
Once a mobile user is driven to download the app i.e. post-click through, is it possible to tie subscriptions back to the ad source through 3rd-party tracking implementation? I'm assuming the answer is no, but I would like to just double-check for reassurance.
Second question :
Once a user has accessed this digital-content through the app, is it possible for the client to get any visibility into the engagments that happen within the app?
I think it may be answered here : http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/ <--
but I am getting different answers about this issue from different sources.
The second part to that question : if those engagement metrics are available to the client using Adobe DPS, can those measurements customized? i.e. - would I be able to track how many page views each unique user has logged? I did take a look at the MPA metrics standard but those only seem to be sending back session duration, count of sessions, etc.
Thank you again.
mike

Hi Mike,
Here are the responses to your questions:
1) First question: The answer is as you suspected, "No".
2) Second question:Once the user has downloaded/installed the app then you can access to baseline analytics reports for basic reporting. You can also get access to Sitecatalyst that provides more deeper tracking. If you are entitling the users directly via direct entitltment; then yes you can track more detailed behavior on each user.

How can I replace an existing app on iTunes that was created with PhoneGap to a new version created with Adobe DPS? I get a 'supported devices' error message when I try to upload to iTunes! HELP!

I created an app using PhoneGap a couple of months ago, and have now just amended it using Adobe DPS. But when I come to upload it to iTunes, I get the error message "This bundle does not support on or more of the device supported by the previous app version" How can I correct this?

I suspect your PhoneGap app was flagged as running on both iPad and iPhone. You'll need the same from DPS. You can do this in AppBuilder at the start of the wizard where it asks what kind of devices you want to support. Note that this is only available to DPS Professional and Enterprise customers. If you are a Creative Cloud customer building a Single Edition application it will only support iPad.

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' - even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

Adobe DPS HTML/Javascript/CSS Web Console: why it is so difficult?

Why?
This is the type of question that i can not understand. Is it that difficult to make? Maybe an airpor to Google Chrome Adobe Edge Inspect? I have many files well written with CoffeeScript, that uses RequireJS, that is impossibile to forget a semicolon etc. that works like a charm on Google Chrome (desktop, AND Chrome iPad, AND Chrome Android). That works like a charm in the native iPad/iPhone web browser and in the native Android browser. But it didnt in Adobe DPS. And guess what: i cant find why it doesnt, because Adobe doesnt have a simple Web Console inside DPS / InDesign.
Is there any news on this field? Because using Adobe Edge Inspect is not a option: my code works inside EI because im browsing the page with my desktop browser. I want to know what is going on inside DPS.
And my code it is not "soooo" advanced. It is just a simple button with "on touchstart" event listener. Am i doing some stupid error? Fine! Just help me find out what it is, so i can fix it. Because in every single browser i tried, it works. But inside DPS. A sample code? Sure, here you go:
[Javascript Code]
Main.prototype.clicks = function() {
        var _this = this;
        $('#btnA').on('touchstart', function(evt) {
          evt.preventDefault();
          _this.buy('productA');
          return false;
        $('#btnB').on('touchstart', function() {
          return _this.buy('productB');
        return $('#clear_data').on('touchstart', function() {
          return _this.clearData();
[/Javascript Code]
The Javascript above is being generated by Node.JS compiling a CoffeeScript file. The buttons do work at DPS for iPad, but doesnt on Android. Maybe Android has a problem with 'touchstart'. Maybe jQuery has a problem inside Adobe DPS. But who knows? I dont have a decent web console inspector to check what is going on. Really frustrating.
Maybe Apple and Google dont give the neccessary hooks to implement the web console? But if you can do the Inspector from the desktop to the device, why not from the device to the desktop? Am i missing something on Edge Inspect? The strange part is: the above code works well on Edge Inspect but doesnt work on Android DPS.
Sorry if im a little angry or pissed. But this would be really great: a simple web inspector: HTML, Javascript, CSS. A way to inspect the <head> tag of the HTML, what was loaded, in what order. What script is missing, Javascript breakpoints, etc.
Thank you.

There is this one little widget called Safari Web Inspector, provided that you're using a Mac: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safa ri_Developer_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html.
Besides, referring to http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/create-html-articles-android-viewers.ht ml, you can give window.onappear a try when you are doing JS initialization.

ADOBE DPS

Hello All
Having teething troubles in my Adobe DPS training on Lynda.Com
I am learning to use the Folio Builder and setting up the folio from the folio builder section - where I'm giving it a name and given it Horizontal / Landscape co-ordinates as a starting document.
Q: Done all that and never see the folio to work on? How do I view this as I would in a normal Indesign document mode - it's just sitting in the Folio Builder menu box and can't access it?
What am I doing wrong here please.
Best: Daryl

Hi
The penny has dropped and see the logic....it's an empty shell for a Title you will make (say this months magazine issue) and then you add the magazine documents inside the folio).
Just getting to grips with procedure and terminology.
My thanks: Daryl

Adobe DPS - using video

I am trying to set up an FAQ page with a list of questions on the left which activate videos that appear in the same frame area on the right. I’ve uploaded the video as an object state, and used the button to activate and play the relevant video/state. It works ok in the SWF preview, but crashes InDesign everytime I attempt to upload it as an article. can anyone help me?

Having spent quite a bit of time scratching my head and googling i ended up finding the answer to this myself - so i thought i best post it to help others out.
What i could not comprehend was why a functioning backbone example on the ipad could not be directly copied across to work on the android device - what transpired was that the backbone example was using an older version of the AdobeLibraryAPI - taken from Derek Lu articles (from a few years ago) whilst the Angular version was using the most up to date version of the AdobeLibraryAPI. I found this mentioned and explained on another forum post:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1622729
so i went to Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.32 : Class Index : JsDoc Reference and got the latest version of the API, swopped it out and hey presto the backbone version now works on the android.

Adobe DPS - Multiple computer sync

I work on three computers (work, home and laptop) and I want to know the best working practice when it comes to Adobe DPS. Basically how do I keep all the documents, folios and articles in sync on all three computers. I subscribe to Creative Cloud so I'm sure there's a way of doing it but I haven't stumbled across it yet.

Are you creating your folios offline? If so they won't show up on the other compuer. Either use the flyout menu on the folio to upload it, or when you create the folio in the first place make sure the option is set properly in the new folio dialog so it is an online folio.
As Bob mentions you'll still have to relink the articles on the other machine, which can be a bit of a pain. From a workflow standpoint you are likely better off waiting to build the folio proper until you're happy with each article design. Then use one computer to make the final folio (perhaps via a sidecar.xml to make it easy to recreate again if you have to).

Is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?

hi~
is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?
The app is not founded in googleplay..

I encountered the same issue. You (in theory) would simply update the APK file. Find the AndroidManifest.xml
right around line 42
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="false" android:normalScreens="false" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
change to
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
recompile, package, deploy.
NOTE: I have not been able to get this to actually work LIVE in the play store where I have had some success with actually putting it on my device. I can get the app store to say that it is compatabile on small/medium/large/xlarge screens, teasing me with joy prior to the error I get when I attempt to install that the item is "not properly signed". This could be something with the META_INF xml file, the version of JDK and apktools or jarsign I am using, I certainly dont know... yet, but after about 10+ hours I am fairly certain of one thing: Adobe does not want it working on small/medium screens.
(perhaps for good reason...)
If I do come up with a solution I will post. As perhaps a feature request, would be great to have the following in the App builder:
1- Advanced tab
A: allows us to manually enter the
android:versionCode="00000"
android:versionName="0.0.0.0.0"
B: allows us to change
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
values.

Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

Hi there
I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards
