Prepping DPS app for newsstand

Hi there
I was in the final steps of submitted our magazine app and set up the newsstand options in iTunes Connect. When I attempted to upload the app with Application Loader I got a warning that the info.plist file was missing certain information for newsstand. This file is inside the app package and had already been generated when making the app.
I tried to edit it manually but it didn't work.
Question: Is there something I should be doing when exporting the app from DPS to somehow flag or ready it for newsstand so that these lines of code are already present?
Failing that, does anyone know of a safe and relaible way to update the info.plist file? I have TextWrangler but may have been placing the code in the wrong places.
thanks for the help!
Steve

Choose the Pro companion guide PDF from the Help menu in DPS App Builder. There are quite a few steps.
In iTunes Provisioning Portal, select the App ID and click Configure. Select Newsstand. Rebuild your mobileprovision files, which contain the new App ID settings you just configured. Also create push certificates, which are required for Newsstand.
Chime in if you get stuck.

Apple rejected a DPS app for being "too book-like"

Had anyone ever had a DPS app rejected for being "too book-like." We just had our first DPS iPad app rejected from iTunes for being too "book-like." The app we designed is a one off show catalog, with interactive images and videos. Has anyone had this same experience with Apple? If so what was the resolution?

REJECTED AGAIN!
My app is a digital scrapbook. Been working on this for over a year.
Here is part of what I sent in my appeal: (sorry it is long--but I'm just flabbergasted they rejected me twice!)
“One FlyGirl's WWII Scrapbook” was created to be an exciting, illustrated, multimedia app. With interactive elements on almost every page, it is filled with pictures, videos, music, and graphics.   With great respect, I submit the following clarification.
Even though the title includes the word ‘book,’ it is not a book; rather, it is an interactive journey into the life of a female pilot, flying American military aircraft in World War II. The centerpiece of the app is the visual experience, propelled by the interactivity and the sounds.    It is the interactivity that is part of the character and fun of the scrapbook.    I do not believe a more traditional ibook would create the same stimulating, engaging learning experience as this app does.
Many of the screens created for this app cannot be duplicated in an ibook.    In particular, please consider the following:
Interactive overlays that include dynamic photos with pinch and zoom, panoramas and scrollable frames, html5 animation, and over 60 screens with Multi-State Objects.
WASP Across America: US MAP with over 100 buttons.    Clicking the buttons on the map brings up faces and video clips of individual WASP (the overlooked Women Airforce Service Pilots, WWII).
Congressional Gold Medal: The gold medal spins as it is ‘swiped’ showing both sides. (The spinning Gold Medal looks fabulous on the ipad)
Music or sounds play as soon as the next screen loads or a button is pressed, causing the sound to play.
NOW WHAT do I do????
Any suggestions? There are over 100 screens (OK, PAGES)-- each will have to be completely re-done for ibooks2.   Any suggestions on how, using DPS, I can create more of an APP to apple's satisfaction???
Thakns much!

DPS App for educational materials

Do you know anyone that have started to produce Apps with DPS with educational materials for child or elementary school? I’m looking for some examples of what peoples do and if such materials is suited for DPS or is it better to do custom app. Thanks!
Jean-Claude

Here's an educational app that Dan McSweeney recently published:
Todas las letras for iPad on the iTunes App Store<http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=itunes%20todas%20las%20letras&source=web&cd=1&ved=0 CFcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Ftodas-las-letras%2Fid540437129%3Fm t%3D8&ei=VSUAUMSAM8bCrQGNr9idBw&usg=AFQjCNHdkmK9VOhoXmUDcLBuz6-PinLv_g>

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Setting up a DPS App for Social Networking

In DPS help it says: ‘If you have not already done so, create a web page for your publication. Create metadata to determine which image is used as the thumbnail image.’
Can someone at Adobe expand on this?
By webpage, does this mean facebook page?

Here's how the Facebook button currently works. The customer taps Facebook in the viewer and adds a comment, a message appears on the Facebook wall. This comment includes a link to whichever web page the publisher specifies. (In the future, this link will jump to a web version of the article, but that's not how it works now.) The web page you specify should provide information about your publication, such as www.wired.com for Wired magazine.
The comment on the Facebook wall also includes a thumbnail image that's pulled from the publication web site -- usually the first image it finds. If you want a specific image to appear, you can control it. There is a link at the bottom of the help article that describes how to control the thumbnail image.

How do I update a DPS app for the iOS Market?

Hello,
I have a professional license in Adobe Digital publishing Suite and last year I published an app in the iOS market. Now I would like to update the app with some new content and I don't know if I have to erase the previous app or what are the steps to follow.
Thank you,
Nuria

Hello Bob, thank you for your answer.
I think you did not understand my problem. I don't want to create a new folio and publish it, I want to add some new content to the app that is already in the iOS market. I have created some new articles that I want to add to the already existing folio and so a new update with some new content will appear on the iOS Market.
Thank you,
Nuria

Making DPS Apps for Android

we have aPro account and are now considering publishing our multi-folio subscription app to the Android marketplace. My question is really about which Android devices should we concentrate on?
Right now my idea would be to focus on the KindleFire 7" (1280x800) and the Google Nexus 7". I feel as though this is a good first step to design and produce.
Should we also consider the larger devices? or is the sweet spot really the 7" tablets?
Would like to hear from others.
PLUS, is it true that Google Play limits your apps to 50 meg?
Tom

It all really depends on your goals but for me, building a 1205x800 rendition got my app on the largest number of Android devices. The trade off is that on full frame devices, you get minor black space down at the bottom of the screen, but it means you only have to build once to get the same rendition of the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7 along with many of the 10" devices. And even with the 1920x1200 screens (like on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 your product will be readable, just letter boxed.
The 1205x800 gets me onto all the devices that I have users on (granted, not many people are reading via Android devices) without building four or five different renditions.
And yes, apps are limited to 50MB, BUT that does not count in-app purchases. Your issues are not limited to 50MB.

Apple rejected a DPS app for being a PDF

How do I create an iPad dps app that needs a password to enter?

I need to create an iPad dps app for a corporate client and they have asked the question if after download, we can have it password protected to enter?
If so how do I go about this? so the app has a log in page once loaded?

You'd need to create a custom HTML store/library and build that into the application, and have that page request the password. This is a DPS Enterprise feature, it isn't available in pro or single edition.

Do I need to upgrade my CC Account to create a folio app for non-iPad devices?

Hello,
I have never created a DPS app, but have been researching this for the last 4 weeks. From what I understand, I can create a DPS app for iPad using a single edition or a multifolio app. If I want to create a DPS app for any other device, I would need to create a multifolio app. I have only a Creative Cloud account, but I believe that I will need a Professional or Enterprise account to create multifolio apps. Is there another way that I could create apps for Android, iPhone, etc devices without having to upgrated my account?
Thank you.

Your research and understanding is correct. If you want to use DPS to target anything other than an iPad you need Professional or Enterprise edition.

DPS app on Microsoft Surface?

How do I get my DPS iPad app towork on Microsoft Surface? Make a custom folio right?

Find yourself a Windows 8 developer - they're out there.
I re-published my DPS app for Windows 8 - desktop and tablet, including Surface - but Adobe DPS is not yet part of the process.
A friend published a little diagramming app for Win8 called Sekvenz (free 30-day trial http://sekvenz.com/I think) He looked at my app and said that since I already had all of the content, that he would help me re-craft it for Win8. There were a few give and takes, of course, but the app is now live (and free) in the Win8 store under the title "Todas las letras." It's a Spanish language children's book with interactivity, audio, and a letter-writing canvas.
It was my need for the trifecta, iPad, Android, Windows. I paid this guy in beer, your Win8 developer might have other requirements, though.
FWIW My experience of the Surface tablet is very good. I think that my publication looks very slick and runs smoothly. But I don't own a Surface, I agree that it has drawbacks, odd screen size, resolution, um, price.

How can I create a magazine web app for all devices?

How can I create a magazine web app for all devices?

magazine web app is not supported in DPS as of now. You can share the contents to preview it on web content viewer.

Use different DPS accounts for iPad and Android versions of same app?

Hi there,
When creating an Android version of an iPad DPS app should the account used to create the content (the 'Title ID' in the DPS App Builder) be the same for both versions, or different? In the content viewer I know that iPad content will show up even on Android, so I'm thinking that the answer is probably no, but I haven't managed to find it mentioned in the Adobe docs.
Thanks,
Toby

It depends, but usually the answer is that you want to use a different account for iOS and Android. Not all features supported in the iOS viewer are supported in the Android viewer. For example, if you use panoramas or iOS-specific web views in your articles, you'll want to be able to use different content for the Android viewers. Search for "dps supported features" for a comparison chart.
I use different Application accounts for my apps. I use the Share/Copy feature to transfer the folios from the iOS account to the Android (or Windows) account. Then I delete the few articles that don't work well in the viewer and replace them with articles generated from different source files. That works well and doesn't require too much extra effort.
If you want to reduce the amount of letterboxing in Android viewers, you'll definitely want to use different accounts and use, for example, 1280x800 folios instead of 1024x768.
