Signing Viewer Builder for Android

I have been trying to publish my first app to the Android Market using the DPS Pro Edition & I'm having trouble creating certificates to sign my app in DPS Viewer Builder (version 2.1.130)
Every time I click on the .apk package to download it from Viewer Builder I get an error pointing to something being wrong with the certificate I have created. The error I get is: Viewer Builder Error: Signed output file could not be created- certificates may be invalid. It does dowload a file called unsigned-viewer.zip I presume I can't do anything with this without it being signed.
I've read and followed all that is mentiond in http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html to create the certificate.
I have tried creating the certificate using Flash and Terminal from my mac running OS 10.7.4
My folios were built using Viewer Version v22
Any help would be very much appreciated.

What version of Viewer Builder are you using? If it's 2.1.x and not 2.2, move Viewer Builder from the Applications folder to the trash and download the most up-to-date version from the Dashboard. Then try again.

Phonegap integration. Building for Android device

hey all,
i'm trying to build an apk file for android device.
Easy with Dreamweaver yes.
Difficulty comes when you try to add some specific functionality : for instance you may want to post some stuff on the user 's facebook wall.
PhoneGap provides a plugin for that : https://github.com/davejohnson/phonegap-plugin-facebook-connect
But this plugin needs some addional stuff from the android SDK. It needs some java classes, namely the facebook android sdk : https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
Has anybody any hint on how we could include that stuff in dreamweaver installation?
In my opinion we need to rebuild android.jar (not tried yet) but there may be another solution to tweak Dreamweaver. Or has anybody another solution to post on facebook/twitter from a native apk coming from a jquery/phonegap project under Dreamweaver?
thanks in advance for reactions/advices/...
Loic

I did that on a mac :-)
however it was a standard eclipse project. I had to include the correct JARS (facebook+phonegap) in the library path and everything was fine quite easily. I mean there was no additional SDK to install due to OSX.
What I remember too is this: there is no facebook app installed on the emulator. It means when you run your app on it and try to connect to facebook through phonegap, the browser will open and ask for authentication. On your device, if the FB app is installed a nice popup will open and ask for authentication and authorization (or just confirmation if you are already authenticated).
in conclusion there's no need to buy a mac for that. Be sure to check phonegap forum and post your problem. Phonegap releases have evolved a lot and they are quite responsive.

Adobe Content Viewer v22 for Android - folio update issue

Yesterday I updated our Xoom to Android 4.1.1 and updated the Adobe Content Viewer to v22. Both we and a client have had issues with not seeing the "Update Available" message for folios that are been updated. The "Updating Library..." message flashes briefly at the top of the viewer in library mode, however nothing changes. It's only after killing the app and restarting that it takes its time while checking the library for updates and finds them. Has anyone else had this issue? The iPad rendition of the same folio has been showing update messages in the usual, almost instantaneous, way.
Has anyone else had difficulty with updating folios in the Android v22 Adobe Content Viewer? In the past couple of versions I've noticed some strangeness with the Sign In/ Sign Out part of the library where it seems like the text tells you you're signed in, but sometimes you have to sign out and sign back in to get updates. Sometimes you could go back to the home screen and then go back into the app and it would trigger a check for updates as well, however that trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Andrew

Thank you for the reply Himanshu. Evidently the problem is much worse than I thought because previously created apps don't even open anymore!
None of the apps we have published to the Android app store are getting past the splash screen. The library flashes briefly on some of them before the app crashes. The error message it gives is "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." This is a big problem!! Will updating the apps to v22 solve this issue? When will Adobe have this major problem fixed?
I'm flashing back to June of last year when reliability of basic functionality (like apps opening and folios being downloadable/viewable) was still unpredictable. You Adobe guys and gals have got to figure out how to make the DPS system dependable. I understand this is an operating system conflict, but surely you knew this update was coming and could test how well your software would hold up to the changes. This isn't a barely used minor feature that isn't working, this is something that makes users uninstall the app and lessens their opinion of the company that released it. Please make this your top priority and get it fixed today. We and our customers are paying for a much higher level of service than this.

DPS App builder for Android Devices

Hi! i make a new app for smartphone and i follow that link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/building-android-apps.html
i put every certificate and make all the steps with success!
What do i do after that????
I just have an app for tablet on Google play account..
There are others steps to make to see the app on Smartphone playstore? because i can't see the app..
Thank you very much
TKART staff

The apps created by the web app builder run on both tablets and smartphones all the time. There's no "tablet-only" or "smartphone-only" version. If you upload this new .apk to Google Play instead of your current one it will replace the one there.
Note that our native Android app only supports Android 4.0.3 and later. If your Smartphone is running an earlier version of Android then it won't show in the Google Play store listings when you search for it.

Viewer Builder signing failure for distribution viewer

I'm having the following problem:
I"m able to download the developer ipa from Viewer Builder with no problems, but when I try to download the distribution build, I get a VB error, "signing failure."
this indicates to me that there is a problem perhaps with my p12 and mobile provisioning profile, but I've done all that correctly, as far as I know, and tried multiple times to reproduce from Apple's provisioning portal, but nothing works.
is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I've been having this issue since last Friday. But, my ipa isn't working either....

Trouble with custom viewer for Android

Hello, I have created a Custom Content Viewer for Android using Viewer Builder 1.5.1. After building the Content Viewer I sideloaded, v15 Android.apk and tested it on a Samsung Galaxy tab. It shows the empty gray viewer with no content.
Is there something that I may have not done correctly with the android app? I want to test my viewer locally. I have uploaded folio with the same adobe Id, which I have used to create my content viewer but not able to find my content on tab.
I have professional account for DPS, how to get "Sign In" button for my Content viewer and test it before uploading it to Android market? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance
Kundan

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Signing key for android

In order to publish on Google Play android market, you need a signing key valid up to October 2033.
But the key tool on the mac authorize only to create a 20 years key. Anybody knows how to create a longer validity ? Google asks for more than 10,000 days which seems impossible with the mac tool.
Thanks for any help.

Solved
If you ever encounter the same issue, follow these guilelines (MAC only)
- lauch the Terminal utility
- go to a known directory
- use the following command :
keytool -genkey -v -keystore android.p12 -alias android -keyalg RSA -validity 10000 -storetype PKCS12
- you will be prompted for password and some personal information
- you will find a file named android.p12 which you can you in the download / signing process of the Viewer Builder; you can replace "android.p12" by whatever name you want, but do not forget the "p12" extension

Build AS3 AIR project on Linux for Android and iOS?

We're about to use a build server for taking some work out of our hands (testing, building etc). The build server is running on Linux and therefore we would like to know if we can build the AS3 (AIR) sourcecode on the Linux environment. We usely create apps for Android and iOS.
Can anyone give some more information on this? Is it true that the ADT doesn't run on Linux?

FYI, I updated my blog post. I found a program called ideviceinstaller (available in the Ubuntu repos ala apt-get install ideviceinstaller or from the website) that allows installation of .ipa files onto iOS devices from Linux.
Previously that was the only development iteration step that required a Windows VM. Now in my workflow, a VM is no longer required for iOS development. (Obviously a Mac is still required to upload to the app store at the end.)
Also, a bonus, here's a quick command to view UUID's authorized by the provisioning file inside an .ipa file:
> unzip -c Main.ipa *.mobileprovision | strings | egrep -i string\>[0-9a-f]\{40\}
<string>d9c2fee807324a18baf5a544ffa2c80f23d3****</string>
<string>f634a0a95bc2327f6a26cb39cf18a01918cf****</string>
<string>651e4284467d328e37c18988c981179b5909****</string>

SIGNING FAILURE (Viewer Builder)

We are trying to generate the Distribution Viewer (.zip) from the Viewer Builder and are running into an issue. This happens at the end of the export process when the link for the .zip is clicked. The developer version (.ipa) works fine.
I have gone back to the Apple Developer Center and revoked all certificates and created them from scratch, along with new mobileprovision files and private key (p12). The error continues to persist.
Is there any information you can give us on what may be causing the Signing to fail on the Distribution file?

iIs there anymore updates on this? I'm having the same problem. I get a signing error when i try to get the ipa and zip. It worked the first time but i had to chnge one thing and have never been able to get past the signing error at the end again.
I've went through every step multiple times, revoked all certificates and provisions, cleared out the keychain and basically re-did the whole process more times than i can count. Everything matches up as far as i can see but I still get the signing error which is in no way specific to what exactly is wrong with the p12 files. I do other apple development on the same machine and dont have problems publishing.
So as theres no support system and the company have already paid for a single lisense which at the minute is used on an app we cant access does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Viewer Builder error: 'Signing Failed'

What does the View Builder Error 'Signing Failed' mean when I download my developer or distribution apps from Viewer Builder? The dev IPA and dist ZIP files appear to download correctly despite the message, so what is it trying to tell me?
Ali

Righty, I turn to page 15 of the 'Adobe Publishing Process for iPad Viewer Apps' PDF as provided by my Adobe reseller. All the screenshots are blurred but no matter, I can probably muddle through.
The chapter is headed 'Setting up Apple Push Notification Service (Optional)'. At the end of the introductory text is a paragraph reading: 'Important: If you have already created an App ID and certificates, you can configure your App ID to enable push notifications. You don't need to create new development and distribution certificates. However, you do need to create new mobileprovision files.'
Fine, that's clear. My app exists already: I'm just planning to build an updated version, so naturally I have an App ID. The paragraph has told me that I don't need to create certificates, but I do need new mobileprovision files.
The first section after this is headed 'Creating a push notification certificate'. OK, I shall ignore this section because, as explained above, I apparently don't need to create any certificates.
The next section after this is headed: 'Creating a .p12 APN certificate'. Again, my understanding is that I don't need to create any certificates, so I shall ignore this section too.
Oh... I've already reached the end of the chapter on 'Setting up Apple Push Notification Service (Optional)' and I haven't done anything. How do I create the special mobileprovision files that I'm supposed to need for APN?
Well, this seems odd, so I flip back to page 6 and the beginning of the chapter headed 'Creating Certificates', seeking clarification. In the introductory text is a paragraph that reads: "If you want to enable the Apple push notification service (APN), create a separate certificate that you can upload to the Adobe fulfillment server. See the section on setting up push notifications for details.'
So this chapter is telling me that I need to create a new certificate for APN, but no mention of mobileprovision files, yet at the same time tells me to read a chapter that tells me that I don't need to create new certificates for APN and I do need new mobileprovision files.
I'm afraid I can't make any sense of this, and neither can anyone I send these instructions to. Luckily for us, APN isn't particularly significant for a twice-yearly magazine. But it would be nice to get a handle on it in case we launch a weekly.

[PhoneGap] Building a non-debug APK for Android Market?

I have an app completely built and tested, and am ready to put it out in the Market. However, I can find NO information about how to do this. All I can manage to build from Dreamweaver is the debug version of the APK, which works fine on my phone, but cannot be uploaded to the Market. How do I build the 'non-debug' version?

I'm sorry to do this but I have to quote an old post of mine. Best way to answer this:
Dreamweaver does not allow you to bypass the store process and give you a certificate. The Adobe AIR team has given a good explanation of what is going on and how DW signs the app for development and debug mode.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/853774
The answer that they give after the explanation will point you to the Android Developers website which gives you the details on Google's methods for obtaining a proper certificate.

Unable view pdf AR for Android... OK on PC

Using Adobe Reader 9.3.2 on Win7 PC a PDF views fine...
On Droid Incredible Android phone, Same file stored on SD card opens but shows only white pages,
no text. Other PDFs open on Android.
The problem file is a large 399 page book 1.21 MB in size.
It is a somewhat protected file that only allows "printing" and "content copy for accessability"
all other fields are "Not Allowed" on "Document Restrictions Summary"
Is there something that needs to be "Allowed" so that this can be viewed on an Android Phone
with the Android Adobe Reader and yet still protect the PDF?
The application for problem PDF is PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2 / Acrobat Distiller 9.3.2 (windows) PDF v 1.6 Acrobat 7.x)
The Android Adobe Reader is Version 9.0.1 Build 32116
Thanks

I am having the same problem... Bump!

Native Adobe Content Viewer for Android is now available!

The native Adobe Content Viewer is now available in Google Play for your downloading pleasure. Grab it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.dps.contentviewer. The legacy air viewer is still available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.contentviewer.
Note that in this first release your sign in will automatically expire after 30 minutes. We realize this is a bit of a pain but wanted to get the viewer out for people rather than waiting even longer to add auto-renew of the credentials. We’ll get this taken care of with our next update, due in about three weeks.
Enjoy!
Neil

Installation works flawlessly. So far I've only been testing with the normal desktop preview. Now I wanna try the preview function for android (I think the previous version didn't work, right?) from the folio overlay panel but I cannot seem to find my Nexus 10 device even though I am logged in with the same account on both InDesign and the Nexus 10. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Nevermind I got it to work. But how do I update my folio once I uploaded it to the folio producer?
Also there's something that I'd like to achieve now.
The content viewer browser version (checked via whatismybrowser.com) is:
Chrome 30
Version 3.0.0.0
Webkit 537.36
The installed chrome is:
Chrome 32
Version 32.0.1700.99
Webkit 537.36
The 32 version has WebGL enabled or rather it works better. By default only the normal WebGL features are enabled in Chrome. The experimental WebGL features (found under chrome://flags/) have to be activated manually. I suppose the WebM view of the viewer doesn't have these enabled. Can I enable these fancy features somehow?

Repackaging Android Viewer App for BlackBerry PlayBook

Hi,
Does anyone have tried this? If yes, then was repackaged Viewer working OK on the PlayBook? What tools/utilitiies were used for repackaging as there are few available:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/
http://crackberry.com/how-install-android-market-and-other-applications-your-blackberry-pl aybook
"The BlackBerry PlayBook is a tablet like no other. The powerful QNX Real Time Operating System embedded within allows it run an entirely different operating system as another application on top of the standard PlayBook OS. This is how the PlayBook will run repackaged Android applications. For the most part, though, repackaged apps will appear to run just like regular PlayBook applications."
Thank you,
Gennady
Update: This compatibility test determines how compatible your app is with the BlackBerry PlayBook OS:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/bpaa/apk-compatibility-check
And this is a result for Android Market Installer build with Sprint 19 Viewer Builder:
Your application is not compatible with the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps.
Your application uses a feature which is incompatible with the current version of the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps. We recommend that you download the BlackBerry® Plug-in for ADT to test your application and remove features as required.
4. Severe incompatibilities found
Impact     Type     Reason
3     uses-permission     com.android.vending.BILLING
So if In-app Billing would be optional checkbox for Android app with the optional use of com.android.vending.BILLING in the code, then I guess it will be possible to repackage Viewer for PlayBook. And yes, Amazon Appsstore Installer is compatible with the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps.

OS2 for the Playbook is still in beta at this point, should be released sometime next month.
