DPS development app

We are using DPS apps for our company's capabilites (as apposed to the traditional powerpoint).
We send perspective clients an iPad with our capabilities app on it and we are getting quite a response.
Does anyone know if it is possible to share a development app to other team members and/or iPads?

Yes it is possible.
If you have an DPS Enterprise account and iOS developer Enterprise license, you may create an Enterprise Signed Build and distribute the app within your organisation.
If you have a Pro or Single Edition, you would need to add and include UDID's (Upto 100) of your team members iPad's in your mobile provisioning file and then you may distribute the developer.ipa to them.

  • Cannot download developer app (.ipa) in DPS App Builder

    I built my articles in InDesign CC 9.2.1, previewed the folio on my desktop and iPad. No problems.
    I followed the instructions in the Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing iPad apps. Created the p12 certificates and mobile provisioning files. No problems.
    Built the app following the steps on page 49. Select folio... Create app... Signed in... App Details panel... Icons and splash screens... Selected mobile provision files... Create app...
    Everything worked....
    But now I've hit a brick wall.
    In the DPS App Builder I cannot download the developer app (.ipa) to test on my iPad...
    I get a red outline around the developer p12 input field.
    I've checked and re-output the developer p12 file and the password... tried again and again...
    How can I fix this and move forward?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK it worked... fifth try...
    I exported a new p12 development certificate from Keychain access (as described on pages 19-20).
    Then I logged back into the DPS App Builder... Manage... download developer app (.ipa)... selected the new developer p12... and password....
    ... after getting a "server error"... tried again and it worked...
    For the record I did not do anything different in each of my five attempts... but this time it worked and I was able to download the .ipa file to my desktop...

  • DPS android app for small screens, works, but poorly...

    There is a way to get the DPS android app compatable with 1400 devices, including mobile phones.
    In theory if you here reading this its because you have an android app made by the DPS app builder live in the play store and...
    A: found out that the android app is only available on large/xlarge screens
    B: are getting yelled at by your employer who bought the Adobe DPS subscription and claims this should work on his phone "because I looked at the Adobe site and it says android, my phone is an android, read their site and make it work"
    C: found this because you were smart enough to read through the forums before suggesting this as a publishing solution to your employer and want to know if it really works on android phones, in whcih case, you may want to make it easy on yourself and just say "no, it does not" and then waid for Adobe to officially support small/normal screens perhaps head over to this post and bring some attention to it so we can collectivly improve this already awesome tool: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1097433
    however, before you attempt this please keep in mind the following:
    1- it does not work well, if at all, on certain devices. specifically the small phone devices with the slower processors. So what typically happens is that you need to delete the data for the app and wait nearly 10 min for the "checking for updates" to process and grab new edditions. Depending on your serivce provider, this can be a nightmare. So, do NOT even attempt this if you have a cap on your data plan, think about how long it would take to download a 100mb folio file on a 3g connection, not to mention the processor which the tablets have and phones do not have.
    Here is some more data:
    --Android 1 from Sprint: really super slow, thats all I gotta say
    --Android 2 from Verizon, again, slow, but works
    --Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Verizon 4g connection, works great, (10% of the time) lol. about 90% of the time the Galaxy Nexus needs to be restarted after installing, and will get stuck on the "updating library" screen. the only way to fix this for any of the above phones seems to be to clear all data, uninstall, re install, do not launch, restart phone, and then launch app.
    I am going to test the following soon:
         Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 (1.6GHz Quad-core)
         (1.5GHz Quad-core)
              LG Optimus G E973
              Xiaomi MI-2
              LG Optimus 4X HD P880
              HTC One X
    (the idea being that perhaps we can go through the list from google in the play store and limit the devices its on, but at least with this solutuon as described below we can get rid of the "not availabe on your device" notice.)
    So before you read on, consider that for your end users. If you find a way to fix this, let me know, I have considered turning off hardware acceleration but have not tested this yet.
    2- if you choose to attempt this make sure you have a good understanding of command line AND you have a new version of the app ready if you want to roll back.
    consider this concept: (you should have these ready)
    app a- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 100000 and 2.5.5.000. This is already in your google.play store account as a live app,
    app b- the app you are about to build in this example below, it will in theory work on small, medium, large, and x-large android screens, lets say its version is 110000 and 2.9.9.000 (it will be MADE FROM APP A, you will open it, edit it, and wrap it back up.)
    app c- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 200000 and 3.5.5.000 (which would be good to have in case your version b above does not work the way you want)
    notice the VERSION codes. These are important because you can only go UP, you can not "roll back" to a previous version.
    Again, I do not suggest this, but if you are daring and have some development background, feel free to give it a shot.
    (I am not going to be able to support this info, but I can verify 100% that I got mine working, very poorly and slow, but it installs, pulls folios, and loads)
    PC WINDOWS ONLY, I have not tried this on a MAC.
    get this:
      http://www.7-zip.org/
    install it
    get this:
      http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
    read all about it.
    go here:
      http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
    get:
              apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2
    and
              apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2
    put them all in 1 folder, extract both items, all the way
    the grab the
              android-viewer.apk
    that Adobe DPS made, or whatever yours is named...
    and the
              release.keystore
    you made and put them in the same "stuff" folder. there should be 20 items total in here now.
    get this:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u30-download-1377139.html
              jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe
    do NOT use any other version, do NOT use version 7, use version 6.
    install it all. then find it. should be here- (C://program files/Java/)
    I recomend grabbing it all and putting it in your ROOT like this:
    C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
    then, put everything from the "stuff" folder into C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
    yep, all of it.
    now we are ready to get funky...
    run cmd line.
    open start menu, type
    cmd
    into the search bar, hit enter
    -------- run command line, get to proper directory
    cd ..
    cd ..
    cd Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
    (or wherever your 'stuff' is)
    --------open up
    apktool d android-viewer.apk android-viewer
    (this will make a folder called 'android-viewer' and you will be able to go into that folder and find the XML files in there)
    --------edit XML
    in file: /android-viewer/AndroidManifest.xml
    open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
    android:versionCode="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_" android:versionName="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_"
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    in file: /android-viewer/assets/META-INF/AIR/application.xml
    open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
              <versionNumber>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionNumber>
              <versionLabel>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionLabel>
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens='true' android:normalScreens='true' android:largeScreens='true' android:xlargeScreens='true'/>
    --------package it back up
    apktool b android-viewer android-viewer-new.apk
    (this will repackage the folder into a new APK, note the name -new.apk added to the end)
    --------Sign
    jarsigner -keystore release.keystore -signedjar android-viewer-signed.apk android-viewer-new.apk YOUR_ALIAS
    (now you need to sign the -new apk and recreate it as signed)
    --------Verify
    jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs android-viewer-signed.apk
    (if the last line does not say 'successfully verified' and there is an error, make sure you are using version 6 of JDK and not 7)
    --------Update APK in play store
    Visit this page
    http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/about/distribution.html#instant
    read the line that says "Instant publishing, instant updates"
    while you do, understand you are being lied to, it takes anywhere from 30 min to 4 hours for your update to be "instant".
    take the new "android-viewer-signed.apk"
    rename it, upload it, activate it, de activate the old one.
    important: beofe you click save, switch over to the "product details" tab and update your version notes.
    head over to your app page in the play store.
    sit there and click refresh every 10 min or take a nap and come back in a few hours.
    when you finally see the version number has updated, go to the browser on your phone
    find your app in the browser, refresh the page, make sure its got the new version number on it.
    install it on your small screen device, cross your fingers, and hope you do not get a message that says "not signed properly"
    if you do, feel free to start googling the stuff above to see where you went wrong.
    If it does work, go to your boss and have him download it and run it and say "see, there ya go, its on your phone now" and when he says it does not work hand him a minni screw driver and a 1.6GHz Quad-core from the Galaxy Note II and tell him to simply upgrade the procssor in his phone because its too slow. lol.
    -good luck and enjoi

    Hi,
    This is very interesting.  I'm not an expert but i could do almost all the steps, but i can not do the sign step.  i dont know where my release.keystore is.  i created a .key.p12 file, is it?
    I'm trying to do this for a Galaxy SIII
    Thank you

  • Login on Developer App

    I have a DPS app with entitlement that I'm setting up. I just developed an entitlement site and added in subscribers. When I download the Developer app (.ipa) file on my iPad should the login feature work?
    I'm at this step: Once I get my integrator ID and have my entitlement server tested by Adobe, is that when the login will work in the Developer app on my iPad? Or does it only work when it's an actual app?
    Please advise on this.
    Thanks.

    It'll work in the development app once you have the integrator ID set up with Adobe.

  • Some files in HTMLResources not loading in single edition developer app

    Good day again.
    I have created a single edition app and it works perfectly when tested in Content Viewer. The moment I install the Developer .ipa  the PDF files I loaded in the HTMLResources.zip folder does not load.
    Any ideas what I did wrong?
    Thanks

    Anyone? I installed  DPS v32.1 hoping that will solve the problem but still no joy.
    The Single Edition app I build works fine on both iOS7 and 8 when viewed in the Content Viewer, but as soon as I download the Developer App the PDF files I embedded in the HTMLResources.zip file does not load?
    Please, any help out there?

  • Developer app don't work

    I have this problem:
    The developer app for test refuse to install in the 3 devices configured for testing. All certificates and devices ID are setup properly (this is the 32th monthly issue and I have a long experience), to be sure I also generated again the development mobile provision but the problem are still there.
    I use DPS App Builder 2.7.1 on OS X 10.8.4
    Folio v 27
    set iPad+iPhone app
    version is 3.2.2.43.86923
    iPad 3 with iOS 7 beta v6
    iPad 1 with iOS 5.1.1
    iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3
    Without the sandbox enviroment I can't test the new issue and this cause big delay in the pubblication of the new issue.
    Somebody can suggest a solution or is an App Builder bug?
    Thanks in advance
    Claudio

    Hi All,
    I believe this is a problem with the mobileprovision files associated with your device, although I'm not 100% sure, because we have not faced this problem internally.
    I can say that when iTunes sync is buggy I do the following:
    Disconnect my device from my PC.
    Reboot my iDevice.
    Remove the App from iTunes.
    I then add the app to iTunes again, sync and it ususally works.
    If that doesn't help, here is a potential workaround that the team thinks might work. Again, we haven't reproduced this issue, so we can't say for certain it will clear up the problem.
    Delete the mobile provision files stored at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/
    Delete the provisioning profiles on the device:
    iPad: Settings > General > Profiles > Provisioning Profiles
    Xcode:
    Attach device to PC.
    Launch Xcode
    Window > Organizer
    Select the device in Organizer, then select "Provisioning Profiles" and select the profiles to delete.
    Try to install the application again.
    I did some searching in the Apple developer forums and did not see anything too helpful.
    Please let us know if this solves your problem.

  • Unable to download Developer App

    Hi everyone...
    re DPS Single Edition. I have a trial version of Cloud and InDesign 6. I have been playing around with making apps and was hoping to view the app on our other internal iPads, apart from the 'preview' one.
    Once I've completed all the DPS App Builder stuff, and get through to the end, there is no Developer App [or Distribution App either] in the Downloads column. Is this because I have a trial version? or a another problem?
    Can you help?

    You need to either purhcase a DPS Single Edition License to activate the app which will enable you to download the developer.ipa or purchase a DPS or CCM Subscription. You cannot download devloper.ipa using a CCM trial version.

  • Developer App Viewer Won't Install in Newsstand (Blacked Out)

    Hi everyone!
    I'm trying to submit our first Digital Publishing Suite (Professional Edition) app to Apple and used the DPS App Builder to create a developer .ipa file so I can test out the app first on my iPad. I followed the steps in the "Step-By-Step Guide" Adobe provided and created the .ipa successfully.  However, when I install and sync my iPad, all I see in the Newsstand is our app "blacked out"--like an app looks when it's not installed all the way.  I tried installing it on another iPad and the same thing happened.  When I try to click on the app, nothing happens.
    I've tried deleting it and reinstalling. I've rebuilt the app. I've gone from a subscription to multi folio.  Nothing works.  Maybe this only effects the developer app, but I'm not comfortable submitting to Apple if it doesn't work.
    Please help!

    Yes, I did solve the issue.
    I scorched earth, as it were, and deleted all of my certificates, profiles, push certificates, IDs....everything.  Then I started again from scratch, even made some new apps with the DPS builder.  After all that, it works and I could submit to Apple.
    Now, down side.  I can't delete the original app from my iPad.  It just sits there blacked out. I can't find a way to get rid of it.  The new one works fine.

  • DPS Development Certificates

    Hi all,
    I downloaded the "Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing Ipad Apps with DPS, Single Edition" PDF and I'm kind of stuck on creating the development certs, the screen shot on the PDF dosen't look like anything that I am seeing on my developer account. Anyone know if the screen is an old shot?
    What I see:
    What is on the PDF:
    I can't choose my certificate to upload... I appreciate any guidance anyone can share. Thanks.

    Thank you Bob, I revoked my certificates and it all works fine now. I went through the whole process of App Build and was able to download the Developer app(.ipa), but when it drag the .ipa file over to my itunes library and sync it... I can see my app loading but then as it finishes I get a error message that my app fail to install. I've restarted my ipad 2 just to make sure it wasn't that and it still dosen't want to install. I did however noticed that under the "General" settings under "Profiles" i have 2, would this be normal to have? Any trouble shooting ideas you can share would be helpful. Thanks.

  • Testing the Development App

    Is there anyway to load a single-issue development app (.ipa file) onto the iPad other than going through an iTunes sync?
    I'm creating DPS apps at work, but my iPad is cloud synced via a personal account and computer at home. I thought somewhere I read that you could sideload it using software like PhoneDisk.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    AFAIK, you’d have to jailbreak it.

  • DPS Tips app updated for v19

    Apple approved the new version of the DPS Tips app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8
    Instead of simply updating the app, which is usually the easiest approach, I recommend that you remove DPS Tips and then install it from the App Store. Re-installing is especially important if you have an iPad 3. A current limitation prevents the high-resolution rendition folios from being available if the library has ever "noticed" the low-resolution folios, even if you haven't downloaded them. This issue should be fixed in one of the upcoming releases. If you're creating renditions for your folios, remember to publish both renditions before you notify users with a push. To be safe, the best approach is to publish the high-resolution rendition first.
    The DPS Tips has been approved for the Apple App Store and Android Market, though I haven't updated the Android content. Amazon still hasn't approved the app due to an in-app purchase issue. The Viewer Builder enables every viewer for IAPs, but Amazon recently began rejecting free apps like mine unless you set up IAPs. We're waiting to see if Amazon changes its approval policy or if we need to add an option to the Viewer Builder.
    Here are some changes I made to the app:
    * I added renditions by using one set of 1024x768 source files. If you have an iPad 3, the cover images in the library should include "2048x1536." If not, remove and re-install the app.
    * I divided the old overlays folio into two folios: one basic and one advanced. The advanced folio includes a few new articles and an updated article on pullout tabs. The new pop-up video article includes a rocket launch effect that's so cheesy not even my 8-year-old son liked it. Colin even asked me not to credit him for the video. I might have to revisit that example.
    * I added a new article to the Effects folio that includes an HTML5 scratch-off example. It links to a Cookbooks recipe where you can download and repurpose the HTML code.
    Here are some folio size stats. For some reason, the PDF files were relatively much larger than what I had seen in my testing.
    Folio Basics: iPad1 - 33 MB (PNG) / iPad3 - 47 MB (PDF)
    Overlay Basics: iPad1 - 50 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 90 MB (PDF)
    Advanced Overlays: iPad1 - 41 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 85 MB (PDF)
    Effects: iPad1 - 5 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 7 MB (PNG)
    Single Edition: iPad1- 4 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 12 MB (PDF)

  • How do i download apple developer apps, specifically xcode

    Hello,
    I am trying to download a software developer's application called xcode (version 5) to a PC so that I can run it using  OS X in a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box should work) and learn how to develop apps for iphones.   This is a free apple application.  The problem I am having is that I cannot find a download link or button.   Yes, I have an apple id and I also am registered as an apple developer.  I have tried using firefox 26.0 and IE 9.  The OS on the PC from where I am attempting to download is windows vista basic 32 bit.
    First, I went to http://store.apple.com/us  and typed xcode in the search bar at the upper right of the screen.  I did not see a link for logging in anywhere.
    That search took me here:  https://developer.apple.com/technologies/ and I see "download xcode" in the left panel.
    I click it and it takes me here:   https://developer.apple.com/xcode/    It says "Download Xcode 5 for free."   Great, that's what I want.  What do I click on to do it?   I see no dowload link so I clicked on the Downloading and Installation FAQs  link and it took me here:   https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/
    Now I see "The latest version of Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store.  " ok lets click there ... and guess what?  I'm back to square one again!!!     https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?ls=1&mt=12
    I also tried using itunes.   That only showed xcode BOOKS!
    Can't somebody please explain to me the thought process in using the apple website correctly?   This seems to be the most convoluted and user-unfriendly site I've ever been on.   Full to the brim with marketing and promos but very little to guide the user.   I have an apple id and I did register as a member of the iOS Developer Program.  I am a software engineer with 15+ years experience... not a rookie to download and use software!  What am I missing here?
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    I found the answer which someone posted for an earlier version of xcode.  Apparently, going to the "app store" per the instructions, will not work.
    Instead, use the link below to the developer downloads page, click on the little white right arrow next to the app and it will expand.  The download link (not obvious) is a very small blue link over to the right.   Tricky, apple, tricky.

    I am looking to start developing apps for the iTunes Store, but I have no previous experience. What is the best way for me to start on this? As in which programs and materials must I need and what I need to know. Thanks!

    You will need a Mac, with OS X 10.6+ on it, to be able to develop iOS apps.
    There is some info on these pages :
    developer site : https://developer.apple.com
    developing for iOS 7 : https://developer.apple.com/ios7/
    developer support : https://developer.apple.com/support/
    developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa (you will need to be a registered developer to access them)
