App Updates via Edit in App Builder

I heard several times that it could give buggy Apps when you create an update for an existing App via the "Edit"-Button in DPS App Builder. What's your experience? I have done it for more than one App without any problems. It would be a huge effort to redefine the whole fields of an App in order to update the App to a newer version.
Thanks
Haeme Ulrich

I just updated an App to v27 without any problems.

Updating my .ipa in DPS App Builder for testing is not working

Hi there,
I've build my .ipa file in DPS App Builder for testing on my iPad before I publish it to the app store. No problem. I tested it and saw some modifications to make. I made the changes on my folio, updated it in the folio builder of indesign (on the cloud). Then I get back to DPS App Builder and rebuild an .ipa file from the "Manage" and "Modify" windows, it download and test my certifates, seems to work ok. Then I've created the new .ipa file (after erasing the old one on my desktop and iTunes) but when I synch it back on my iPad it's not updated. It's still the first version of my folio without the changes.
I tried to create a new app from the beginning but the single edition serial number does not work anymore. So my only solution is to update my folio, right? But what is the right way to do it? Am I missing something? I didn't find any answer in the step by step guide about that.
Or is it possible to delete completly the first version in DPS App Builder to recreate it without losing my single edition serial number as I didn't submit it to Apple yet?
Do I have something to do in the Folio Producer?
Thanks for your help.
Julien.

Single Edition Serial is one time use thus modification is not possible from your end directly in case you wish to use the same serial number. For such cases you need to contact DPS Support, who can get an approval on a serial number reset after reviewing the need.
In this case, I'll take this offline with you in reference to forum post # http://forums.adobe.com/message/5597607.

App builder does not update changes to folio

I've been trying to update a single edition app (prior to submitting to the app store) but each time I update the Folio and build a new version, I see only the previous folio with no alterations. It seems that app builder just recreates the original folio no matter what changes I make. I've tried updating all articles in the folio, have deleted and reuploaded the articles with changes. I'm confident the new information is in the DPS online system but the data does not seem to make it to the app builder. Anyone come across this? Have I missed something?

Hi Neil
Thanks for that information, that does explain the situation.
I personally have a CC subscription though the client I am developing the app for does not, hence the serial number. It should be no problem for me to generate another app using my own account. Having said that, this was not my understanding of how the single edition serial number worked. I was under the impression that the serial number was not considered redeemed until Apple had accepted the app which implies that it would be possible to generate further versions should amendments be required.
As an ACI in various Adobe applications and a professional trainer and production consultant it does concern me that this information was not made more clear by Adobe.
Anyway, this should get things sorted for now so thanks again for responding so quickly. Much appreciated.
Regards
Scott

Updating single edition app

I need to update a single edition app. Do I need to recreate mobileprovision files?

You need to rebuild your app again in DPS App Builder, create new version on iTunes Connect and then submit new version of app to iTunes Connect.

Updating the folio of an app in App Builder

Hi,
as a need to update my activated app in the App Builder due to some changes in the article of my folio, I do have some questions:
After updating the article of my folio in InDesign I do have to create a new app to be able to use the update in the App Builder, right?
How can I use my serial number for single edition again to activate this new app and to download my developer data? Should I delete the first version?
Until now I downloaded the Dev-App only not the Distribution-File.
Thanks a lot,
Florian

Hello Daniel,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but it is not.

Can't update Single Edition DPS app

Hi,
I have created an app following this process:
Created inDesign file. Added folio overlays.
Added open document as Article in new Folio.
From folio builder panel, clicked on Create App which then opened the DPS App Builder.
Created the App in the DPS App Builder.
Activated the app with a Single Use License.
Now I need to update the app. I don't have the option to update the folio in the DPS App Builder. So I found this http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ppcompdoc/Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf which says that I can create a new app and delete the other one, but:
I can't delete the active app
I can't activate a new app because the license is in use
How can I update the app using the Single Use License that we purchased?
Thanks
Rafael

You can use the serial number only once. If you need to update your app, contact Adobe technical support and ask them to reset the serial number.
By the way, if you have a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, you can use that account ID to update or build an unlimited number of single edition apps for the iPad. A Creative Cloud license is easier to use, more versatile, and more cost effective than purchasing a single license.

Problem with scrollbar after update with App Builder 32.4.4.

Hey,
I just created an app update with the new version of the DPS App Builder (32.4.4.). After the update the scrollbar (of the viewer – no scrollable content) moved from it's original position. (see screenshot)
Any ideas?

Could you tell me more about the article? Is it an HTML article or a PDF/JPEG/PNG?
The issue appears in every article, in every folio. It doesn't depends on the type of article.
Is your Multi Folio app a Newsstand app as well?
Yes.
Was the previous version of the app already installed on the device with downloaded folios in it, and then you upgraded it via iTunes? or was it a fresh install on the device?
The previous version was build one week ago with the previous App Builder and installed via TestFlight on the iPad. Today we created a new version with the new App Builder (32.4.4) and updated the App via TestFlight.
Thanks!

NOT FOUND WCE2013 (update 5 or 11) Platform builder and Embedded App Builder in VS2013 update 4

Hi MS MVP,
I installed WCE2013 update 5 on VS2013 update 4 in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 successfully.
However, Open VS2013, I cannot found BSP builder and App builder.
I guess .net updates in Windows update causes the PROBLEM.
I trialed some test case:
- Install WCE2013 update5 on Win8.1 x64, VS2013 update2 : only see BSP builder in new project templates, BUT App builder missing. After upgrading VS2013 to update 4, BSP builder disappears in new project templates.
- Install WCE2013 update5 on Win7 x64: not thing changes in VS2013 update4. Downgrade VS2013 to update2 gets similar failure.
Please HELP!

I didn't answered my question, but I got it to work without having to re-install.
Delete all these files and folders from the eclipse/plugins and eclipse/features folder of your Flash Builder installation folder
com.adobe.cslib
com.adobe.inverurie
com.adobe.xmp
Open the CS Extension Builder plugin package
Copy all .jar files from the plugin directory and paste them into the eclipse/plugins folder of the Flash Builder installation
Copy all .jar files from the features directory and paste them into the eclipse/features folder of the Flash Builder installation
Extract every jar (ex: com.adobe.cside.feature_2.0.0.4-33034.jar file is extracted into a com.adobe.cside.feature_2.0.0.4-33034 folder)
Delete the .jar files
Restart Flash Builder
Everything works fine so far. There is a small glitch where the "CS Extension Builder Start Page" seems to miss its stylesheet, but the panel is working anyway. At this point, it's fine by me. And I'm still not able to uninstall the plugin with the "Installed Software" window (the button is grayed out).
So much for being lazy. And for wanting to repair my mistakes, of course.

Keep asking a serial number when downloading the app via DPS App Builder

I've already created an app via InDesign and DPS App Builder, but the program don't let me download the app! It says I have to activate the produt with a serial number, but since I bought a Creative Cloud membership, I don't have any number. Any one know what can I do to make it work?
Here's the prints with the messages

Make sure that you follow Creative Cloud workflow by clicking on Create App from Folio Builder Panel. Also your delete your current build, reinstall DPS App Builder and Try again. If you do not have the delete button in your App builder, let us know.

Need to update folio / cannot delete app in app builder

Hi,
After downloading the development .ipa and noticing a few errors, I want to edit the folio. I understand now that you need to just create a new app in the DPS App Builder, however my Single Edition serial number that I purchased to publish the app under is now tied to the first, incorrect app and I can't seem to transfer it over to my new app with the folio edits. I have also tried to just delete that first app, however it won't let me do that either -- the delete button in the bottom right just appears to be gray/unclickable. Help!

Creating app for Android/Kindle with App builder and Single Edition (No professional or Enterprise)

Hi there,
I know there is no official support for Android in Single Edition, but, once you have installed Indesing CC and App Builder in a mac, and you create app from your Folio menu, is it possible to create then an Android/Kindle apk app for publishing by your own?
Has anybody published sucessfully in this way?
Other point, is that I suposse that you need a Professional or Enterprise licence to create an android app from the Web-enablet App Builder. Cause I can't find the way the make my single account to join the role to this function (And app builder website website just tells me I have to do this, as if I were able to do it with my license...).
By the way, I think Adobe should explain more clearly this points. There is too much documentation, but difficult to find this answers... And a lot of people with the same troubles...
Thanks!

Thanks Tomek!
So, can you confirm if you join the Professional edition (just for a month) if you are able to use both options App Builder/Web-Based App Builder, to create the app in a way that you don't need to be suscribed more time to Professional Edition to be downloaded by the users in Google Play/Kindle Store, and it should work for Applestore (iphone apps) too. I mean, once again, no using Multi-issue and Renditions, cause in this case I know they are hosted by Adobe and you need the subscription to be downloaded.
I think there are discussions here about this topic, but it's not exactly clear what I'm asking. So, I still don't know if I should buy the Professional Edition or go to another supplier as you said.
I hope that Adobe improve these functions! There should be native support for these platforms, cause at the end you only can publish to the applestore with the Single Edition and everbody knows the "too booky problem" with the apps. And we should have support to publish to ibookstore because of that too, without third party solutions.

HT201064 Fresh Mavericks install, iPhoto installed from DVD - won't update via the App Store

Hi all
I did a fresh install of Mavericks, then installed a few apps from the App store.
I then remembered iPhoto etc. that I have from the original install discs (2012 MBP)...but whilst iPhoto says an update is available (9.5.1), and launches the App store it won't show as an update via the App store.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Sadly you're mistaken. A 2012 MacBook Pro has no install DVDs. Apple stopped issuing install disks with new Macs soon after the permanent advent of the Mac App Store with OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Additionally, the version of the iLife apps; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand that last came on install disks are not the Mac App Store (MAS) versions and are not compatible with being updated through the MAS.
The apps from that old disk that you have from another Mac may be updatable however, using the Software Update facility in the Apple menu.
