Can third part publish in same multi folio app?

We are planning on upgrade to proffessional license so that we can publish multifolio apps for ios and android for
a specific client.
Are these multifolio apps tied to our account or can other devolopers publish new folios in the app that we created in the beginning?
For example: We make the multifolio app and publish four folios, and then we want an app for the same client but that app contains
features that DPS cant handle.
Can we hire a approgrammer (that not have CC) and let that studio publish this new publication so it will be number 5 in our app?
Or is it so that the final customer that we develop for need to subscribe to Creative Cloud?
Best regards
Magnus

All content shown in DPS must be in our format. You can't just add another folio that came from something other than DPS.
If you need to extend the functionality beyond what we support the normal way to do that is to include an HTML article or web overlay with some HTML5 to do the advanced interactivity you're trying to accomplish.

How can you link to other folios within multi-folio app?

Hey all.
I have a multi-folio app and in one of the folios I need to make links to other folios within the same app.
I know you can do this across apps (see http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/26564811021/cross-publication-linking-bonus-qr-co de).
But how do you do this within the current app?
Thanks.

Same way. Create a custom URL scheme for your app and use the "<urlscheme>://v1/folio/<folioname><articlename>" format. You can read more about this technique in DPS Tips > Advanced Overlays > Advanced Linking.
Note that this is an unsupported feature that has worked well for free folios but not well for retail folios.

How do I publish my next edition of my Multi-folio app?

I was wondering if someone could help me.
I've created my second edition to my multi-folio app in Adobe Folio Producer. I am just wondering how you go about created the next (like a magazine). Do I have to go through all the steps that I did when I created my first app in DPS App Builder?
Also how to you upload to iTunesConnect? If it's the same app just the next issue (like a magazine)? I don't see anything that says next issue, just Add Version but I'm sure that's not the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Michelle

Hello Bob,
I'm probably asking a stupid question then. How do you publish it? Through DPS Folio Producer? So you don't have to create another app or certificates or anything? That seems simple!

Can I have my multi-folio app by itself and in Newsstand?

I was wondering someone could help me.
How do I make my multi-folio app available by itself and in Newsstand? Do I need to create a multi-folio with iTunes subscription? Do I have to create two versions?
And how do I upload that for approval using Application Loader?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michelle

The nice thing about newsstand is that you get featured as a magazine. That said your app is stuck in the newsstand and there can be a little out of sight out of mind issue.
You're are able to change the cover icon when the app is in Newsstand, which can be nice.
Considering that it is a niche publication, you're probably alright goight either way, but I tend toward putting monthlies in Newsstand.

Do all folios in a multi folio app need to be related?

I am working on an idea with my company to produce book apps for one of our publishing branches. We want to offer interactive book apps which have more interactivity than an ebook or epub3 would have, but would have too little interactivity to pass Apple and Google's "single app" review process.
The work around we are brainstorming is to create a multi-folio app for the publishing house and then create the book apps within it. I am wondering if this can be done and would be approved by the review process? The book apps would be independent publications (unlike magazine issues which share common design and featured content).
I was told a few times at PePcon 2014 that while Apple has a high rate of rejecting single folio book apps which are too "text heavy" they are more lenient with multi-folio apps during the approval process.
Cheers,
Sam Carbaugh

Hi Sam,
other users will have more experience in submitting Apps and the entire approval process from Apple, but I believe you need to stick to the category you choose when creating the App in iTunes Connect (see definitions).
While that might go through a first time with a couple of publications, I wonder what would happen in the long run if you had to submit an App update with your library clearly showing much more content outside of the chosen category.
Hope that makes sense .. you may want to engage with Apple on this one to see if some categories might suit your needs better than others.

Help- Urgent- Multi-folio app not showing all languages

I created a multi-folio app in 6 languages. English the default. English shows up in app store but all the other folios for German, Italian etc don't show up. They are all published and public. I changed my ipad to Italian and I still dont' see Italian as an option. The English showed up. I also submitted the app under all 6 languages when building in App Builder and then created all the language profiles in Itunes connnect.
What's weird now that I think about it in Adobe Publisher online there is nowhere to specify a language or when I uploaded the folios there was no way to specify a language. So I think the problem is that Itunes doesn't see the other 5 languages? I just can't figure out what is wrong here and there is no documentation on the web or from adobe.
Please help as my client is going nuts as am I.
Post here but feel free to email me directly as well as this is urgent.
[Edited at request of poster]
Thanks!

Thanks for responding. I'm trying to follow you. Right now only english shows in the viewer but there are 6 folios. There is a different folio for each language, all published and all apart of the app, same ids etc. So, I guess what you are saying is the only way to get those languages to show up is to use is to use filters?
My understanding was if I created a multi-folio with 6 folios they will all show up. But right now only one is showing up for English. All the otherlangues don't show up in the viewer. I have no idea why? Shouldn't all the languages show up? I'm been trying to figure out where is the missing setting.
If you create a multi-folio all folios should show up for everyone regardless of language, right?
Creating different app for each language is not an option. They spent thousands for the professional account to do this. There must be a setting somewhere I'm missing.
I just looked up filters. Was I supposed to use that for the other folios?
Thanks again for helping.

Why is my multi folio app now not available?

Hello
We are a small company intending to publish 4 times a year through our multi folio app (Challenger Times).
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/challenger-times/id716732152?ls=1&mt=8&utm_source=Website& utm_medium=Organic&utm_campaign=CT+2013+Q4+Apple
As we need to publish on more than just apple devices, and we wanted to create a multi folio app we, on Adobe's advice, purchased Professional edition on a monthly basis. It was advised to us that once our app was in store and we were not publishing new versions we could go back to using the creative cloud version and the app would stay live, upgrading to professional whenever we wanted to create and publish a new folio, and paying for additional download bundles where neccesary.
HOWEVER - now our professional edition has lapsed we have been informed that new folio downloads are not available to new users. Which means we are unable to do any further promotion of it.
For a small business paying for full access for the whole year is not financially viable, especially when this is a free app which we only expect download numbers of around 500 per folio.
Now that we have created, and promoted, the app that is in store we are essentially now bound to paying the professional fee every month, which is a total nightmare for us.
Is there any way that we can make the multi folio app and current folio available for new users with a different subscription?
HELP!

Hi Bob
Thanks for replying, and the clarification, I'm not the developer so get my terms mixed up. I understand that our app is still available, but without the folio content to download within it it is essentially just an empty shell, and so totally useless to any new subscribers.
Essentially my issue is still the same, someone at Adobe advised us incorrectly when we were deciding on subscriber levels and now i'm either stuck with a $500 a month charge forever or have no publication to promote. It just seems like a really bad deal for small publishers that we are now locked into a huge monthly charge just because we wanted to make our publication available on other devices.
Is there no way we could pay a reduced level subscription for just hosting the folio content?
If anyone can point me towards someone who can help at Adobe I'd really appreciate it, we put a lot of work into our latest folio, with plans to produce another in early 2014, and we're feeling pretty despondant about this latest development. We're going to have to completely shelve this project if there is no workaround.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Creating a Multi Folio App from InDesign?

Hi all --
Situation is that I have a login for an Enterprise/Pro account and I can see that all of the other apps are Multi Folio. However, when I hit Create App, it gets added no problem but its a Single-Edition.
I was told that if I want to push updates that happen instantly, it has to be a multi folio app and that single editions apps need to be completely resubmitted and it can take another 2 weeks before it's updated.
How do I create or CHANGE this single edition app to a multi folio so I can push updates to it that happen quickly?
If I hit "NEW" in the DPS App Builder and select multi folio, how does it know what my app files are?
Thanks!

I am pretty certain we do because when I go to the app builder, I can can see multiple apps that are live including muli-folio ones. We were just given a login to this account that falls under this umbrella.
So, once I have added the app and published it, via the Folio Producer online, what would do I do next to get the .ipa and .zip I need? Would I use the DPS App Builder, create new, and make sure that the email/app ID is the same login as the Folio Producer one and it will just recognize it?

Folio not loading in Multi-Folio App

I've created a Folio and published it in Folio Producer but the Folio is not loading into the App. I've signed in with the same e-mail address and yet nothing loads on the iPad. How can I get this to load onto the iPad.

When you say the app is not being pulled down from the adobe server, do you mean the app or the folio?
When you build your multi-folio app, are you creating and downloading the development .ipa file using App Builder, loading it into iTunes, and adding it to your device? I assume so, but I just wanted to make sure.

Generate next publication in multi folio app

Hi, How can I generate a next publication in my multi folio app in iPad, if I´ve published and notificated these new publication?

Use the same Folio Producer Account (Title id in DPS App Builder) to publish folios as 'Public'. When you do that, the folios will be available in your App. For Paid issues, you also need to create in-app purchases and use the same product id as the folio.

How to update multi folio App in itunes Connect

So i have to update the app too.

How to migrate single folio app into multi folio app when each were created w/ different adobe id

I have a single folio app in iTunes that was created using adobe ID "A". I also have a multi folio app in iTunes that was created using adboe ID "B". How do I migrate the single folio app into the new multi folio app, ensuring that apple sees it as an update so users of the single folio app are notified of an update. Both apps were published using the same apple distribution id. Step-by-step help would be greately appreciated.

In your case, I would create a multi-folio version of the app and then use iTunes Connect to submit it as an update to the previous version of the app. When users update the app, they'll lose the folio that was previously baked into the app, but they can download that folio—and others—from the library of the new version. You'll want to make those folios available in Adobe ID 'B', which should be the Title ID you use when you build the app. I think all you need to do for your existing customers is describe the change to the app in the update description in iTunes Connect.

Can you self-distribute a single edition folio app?

Currently I am using the Adobe Content viewer to distribute folio's for a couple of clients. One client would like single edition folio apps created, but doesn't like the idea of them being in iTunes. Is it possible to self-distribute (publish) a single edition folio app outside of iTunes? Much the same way you can already create any type of iPad app and create an installable package without having to go through iTunes...
Thanks for any assistance,
Greg B

The only way to do so is to create a developer version of the app but it
will expire and will be limited to 100 UDIDs.
In short, this isn't going to happen without enterprise level accounts
with Apple and Adobe and is still subject to licensing restrictions set
forth by Apple for app distribution.

Multi Folio App for Educative Institution

Hello,
We are an educative institution and have an internal magazine which we view in iPad with Adobe Content Viewer.
Now we want to publish to App store and we already have the Apple Dev Account, and all Certificates and Assets ready too.
My question is: ¿What is the simplest, and, well, cheapest way to publish our multi folio app?
I see that with a Creative Cloud Account you get the DPS but only single edition. Do we have to purchase the DPS Pro Edition in order to publish Multi Folio App or is there another way?
We also have the CS5.5 license for education. Are there any special offers for Educative Intitutions?
Thank you so much
Eduardo Flores

You can purchase DPS Professional Account either Monthly or Annual to create Multi Issue Apps. I do not think that there are any offers for DPS Pro edition.
