Push Notification Multi Folio without subscription

Is it possible to use push notifications in a Multi Folio App without subscriptions?
I read once that a subscription is necessary to send push notifications.
Thanks
Haeme Ulrich

It's the other way around. Push notifications are required for Newsstand subscription apps, but subscriptions aren't necessary for push. You can add push notifications to non-subscription apps. There are lots of examples, including DPS Tips. Every now and then, you'll see a red badge to indicate the number of new or updated folios.

Migrate a Single Edition over to a Multi-folio with subscriptions?

We have a Pro account.
We want to produce a free Single Edition app and then migrate this over to a retail multi-folio with subscriptions later on. Can this be done?
Basically, we are not ready to offer multi-folio with subscriptions today, but would like to get an App out into iTunes so that we can hold a piece of real estate in a specific category as well as have an App name that someone else cannot use.
thanks in advance.

Yes, you can switch from a single-folio app to a multi-folio app with subscriptions. In DPS App Builder, you'll need to create a new version of the app. (When you edit an app in DPS App Builder, you cannot change the viewer type.) If you specify mobileprovision files based on the same App ID used with the single-folio app, Apple will recognize the new version as an update to the existing app.
With a multi-folio subscription app, you'll need to submit in-app purchases to Apple. When you do so, you'll need to submit a new version of the app at the same time.

Push Notifications in BackgroundTask without lockscreen access.

I create some BT:
var name = "PushNotificationReciwer";
var taskEntryPoint = "BackgrowndTask.PushNotificationReciwer";
IBackgroundTrigger trigger = new PushNotificationTrigger();
var builder = new BackgroundTaskBuilder();
builder.Name = name;
builder.TaskEntryPoint = taskEntryPoint;
builder.SetTrigger(trigger);
builder.Register();
Can it work without await BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync()?

no it's not possible. check the documentation about if here:

How can I enable push notifications once my multi-folio app is on the app store?

Do I need to re-submit binary/app?

Thanks Himanshu.
Do I need to create new development/distribution certs with Apple Push Notification Service SSL (Sandbox) ticked?
Or just enable the Push notifications in App ID's and then create certificates for Development SSL and Production SSL, then create the CSR.
Do I then need to download the new mobileprovisioning files?
Hope this makes sense.. Just want to make sure I get it right this time around
Thanks.

Re:Push notification error when publishing a new folio from DPS

I have run into a problem when publishing a new folio to our app from DPS Folio Producer. I published the new folio without a probelm, but when I pus the "Notify" button, I get an error message that an error has occured while sending the push notification. The push certificate has expired and that to upload a valid push notification, I should rebuild my app in DPS App Builder and to retry sending push notification. (See screen grab).
This is our first push notification for a recently approved app. I worked through all the instruction to create push notifications through DPS. And we tested everything and it was fine.
Our app is a free subscription, multi-folio app in newsstand hosted on the DPS server with DPS push notifications.
What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to have to bebuild/resubmit the app to iTunes to get this to work. It seems odd that the push certificate would be expired, we just created it last month.
Thanks!
Running most recent DPS version on a MAC OSX 10.9.2

Hi,
Direct saves to the server from MS Office over Webdav are not recommended when the versioning mode is Manual. The reason is that the actions of checking out & checking in the document need to be done from the Team Collaboration client and are not done from within MS Office.
Rather, set the versioning mode to Auto or Disabled and it should work just fine.
Thanks,
Jay

Push notifications for Pro subscription non-newstand apps?

I'm struggling to determine the answers to a couple of questions as different sources seem to suggest different things, so:
We have a DPS Professional subscription, not Enterprise
We're creating a multi-issue application
As we aren't publishing content on a schedule, we don't want to create a Newstand app
Are we able to have push notifications to indicate to users that new content is available to download?
I thought I'd read that this was possible, but that the notification (for now) would be limited to a badge on the app icon indicating the number of new pieces of content available. Now I'm not sure.
If it **is** possible, does anyone know of a guide to the right settings to apply when setting up the app in DPS App Builder?
Lastly -- assuming it is possible -- do push notifications show up in the development version of the app?
Cheers,
Keith

Aha. Thanks Bob, that *probably* explains why no notifications are showing up in my development version.
I'm curious why push notifications don't work in the development version? Given that we all (me especially) have the capability to make the occasional mistake even *after* reading the docs, it's a bit worrisome that it's (near) impossible to test notifications.
I mean, I think I've done all the right things: I have the push certs generated and exported, have enabled the app for push in iTunes Connect and I hadn't generated mobileprovision files until after I'd done that so they should be all present and correct. But ultimately the only way I'll know is to submit it to Apple and push the notify button. Which makes me nervous...

Empty Viewer on Test iPad for multi folio iTunes Free Subscription

Hello,
I'm trying to test a free subscription, multi folio newsstand app with renditions. However, the viewer opens without any folios - just the subscription tiles. I've triple checked the Apple product IDs, shared secrets and have all of the appropriate certificates. I'm at my wit's end! A few questions:
Should free subscriptions folios be public/free or retail? I'm reading conflicting things.
I'm a little unsure of the order in which I should publish folios in the folio producer. Should this step proceed or follow creating the .ipa for testing?
Does this naming of the actual folios matter, as long as they are the same? I only need the same exact Product ID for iTunes Connect and the App Builder, correct?
I've noticed that after you enter your shared secret there is a field to enter an iTunes url in the Admin Tool. Which url do we use? Do we enter this after the folio is public?
Thanks!
Darin

Free subscriptions should be Public/Free, not Retail.
It doesn't matter which order you publish the folios and create the .ipa for testing. When you publish the folios as Free and Public, they should appear in your testing app if (A) you specified the shared secret, (B) published the folios as Public/Free, (C) set up your renditions/folios correctly, and (D) specified the free subscription Product ID created in iTunes Connect in the DPS App Builder.
When you set up renditions for a subscription app, the Folio Name, Product ID, and Publication Date values need to be the same for all renditions, and different for each set of renditions. Specify the Publication Date values by choosing from the calendar picker.
Yes, the iTunes URL becomes available when you publish the app.

Push notifications for YouTube subscriptions?

I frequently use my iPhone and iPad for keeping up to date with all the channels i am subscribed to on YouTube. The trouble is, I find the official YouTube app is so awful for, ironically, watching videos on (the quality constantly fluctuates even when on a strong, fast fibre optic line) that I don't bother to use it anymore. One thing it does decently is showing channel subscription activity though, but I still think it's missing something - push notifications for subscription activity.
My question is, is it possible to receive push notifications for new channel uploads using RSS, which can then show up in notification centre? Or anything of the sort which will allow me to receive subscription updates on my iPhone and iPad? I know you can get emial updates for subscriptions but that's really messy for my inbox, and my iCloud storage space is running out fast!
Thanks in advance

Im madly waiting for that. For me, after 5 generations of blackberries; this is the biggest downsize of the iphone vs. a blackberry. With an unique OS, the iphone could be the best, not just phone; but the best electronic device ever!
Apple needs to fix that before the Bold, Storm and HTC releases. If not potential customers will go on other directions. Each time apple release a nice application or firmware, we the customers; start to post about it everywhere... That's free advertising...

Push notifications and tag subscriptions suddenly stopped

Push notifications and registrations have suddenly stopped working (working fine for 4 months). I cannot figure out why. Can someone please help?
The only change I made on the server is to delete the TodoItem table (from azure example, which I'm not using any longer). Here are errors showing up in the mobile services logs:
<label style="display:block;font-size:11px;line-height:11px;font-family:'Segoe UI Semibold';text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:7px;">ERROR</label>
The request 'PUT /push/registrations/304RegIdStuff...' has timed out. This could be caused by a script that fails to write to the response, or otherwise fails to return from an asynchronous call in a timely manner.

I'm glad it's working for you again.
It looks like there was some
potential issue yesterday that includes Service Bus, but I'm not sure if it also affected Notification Hubs.
It's always a good idea to go and check the
service status page when anything weird starts to happen.

Able to enable push notification without publishing to app store?

Hello,
Is it possible to enable push notifications on an app by only putting the app on an ios device but not publishing to the app store?
I am developing an app for a competition and would like to demo the push notification functionality but do not have access to publishing to the app store, thus I am just running the app on the device as a way of demo.
Thanks!

There is no such thing. If you had a real developer account, you would be able to install your app on the device as well as test things like push notifications while in development.

Push notifications without data plan.

Hi all.
I have an original iPhone (2g EDGE) running OS 3.0.1.
Currently I am on an O2 contract, in which data is charged by the MB.
As such, I have replaced the APN settings with garbage text, and rely on wifi for my data needs.
And here lies the problem. Whenever I turn Push Notifications on, I hear constant feedback in my speakers, as though the phone is trying to contact the push server via edge, failing due to the garbage APN, and constantly retrying. Even on wifi, this occurs, causing the phone to get hot and draining the battery in a matter of 3-4 hours.
Throughout all this, as I can't use the data and phone connection at the same time, I cannot receive any calls or texts while the Push Notifications are in overdrive.
If I turn off Push Notifications and rebooting the iPhone, the problems go away.
Re-entering the correct APN settings, Push works fine over the Edge connection.
My question is this: is there any way to make push work only over Wifi, like iPod Touches, which have no data connection.
If not, is this a bug, and will it be patched/fixed soon?
I'm liking the Push Notifications, but find myself unable to use them as of now.
Please help.
Brand

When WiFi is actively connected, it replaces cell network data connections (GPRS, Edge or 3G) and push notifications are transmitted only via WiFI, as is ALL data - Edge is inactive by default. If turning on push notifications is causing your phone to "feedback" and overheat, there is a problem in your phone. There may be firewall issues blocking port 5223. This isn't being helped by the altered APN setting, See this support article:

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.
