Single Edition Distribution Question

I am a member of the CS6 Cloud and a user of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Single Edition.
I have created a sales tool apps for a client. How do I distribute this to my client? I don't want to sell the app through the Apple Store, only
distribute it for a small group of three to use on their iPads.

If you want to distribute you're app to a small group then you need an Enterprise account you can't do that with Single Edition, with Single Edition you're app is put on the App Store for everyone to see and download. Another way you can do this, is if you have an iOS Developer account and add the Device UDID numbers from each of the ipads and create the mobile provisioning files to include these devices then you can have you're users install the developer-viewer.ipa that you download from App Builder, hope this helps.

Single Edition App question regarding using the activation number

Hello,
I am producing a single edition app for a client. We have purchased a single edition package and I have the serial number. I have created the app and done all the certificates and provisioning stuff...
My question is now that it is built and I would like to download a version for testing purposes it is asking me for the serial number to activate it.
After I enter the serial number will I be able to go back and make changes to it as needed before I publish? Or how does this work? I just want to make sure I dont activate this and am then stuck with the results if changes need to be made. I'm sure the answer is fairly obvious but just wanted to check with people who have had past experiences. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, you should be able to make changes, but I can’t let this pass without reminding you that you could have gotten unlimited apps for year and every Creative Cloud application and service for less than you paid for that one app.

Single Edition: Preview question

Hello
On this link that compares editions
http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-family/buying-guide.html
the "Preview interactive content on desktop and iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Kindle Fire and other Android devices" box is not ticked for the Single Edition.
Is that really it ???i
EDIT: of course, as SIngle Editions only work on iPad, sorry ...

Single edition is iPad only. The Adobe Content Viewer works fine for this.

Single Edition questions!

Hi there,
I need an updated, quick and precise answers for these Single Edition questions...!
(1) For what I got until now Single Edition do not allow clients to publish a store like a bookstall of magazines. Is that right?
(2) That said, every app built and sent to App Store is "unique" and has no physical connection with other apps built and sent later. Right?
(3) Even though having Creative Cloud and being able to publish unlimited Folios... There is no way we can do a bookstall??
(4) Even using Html5 resources?
Thankyou all...

1) Correct
2) Correct
3) Correct
4) Correct
A bookstall / kiosk / multi-issue-app is only available for Adobe DPS Pro.

How does Single Edition compare to Professional and Enterprise Editions?
Professional Edition is an off-the-shelf solution designed for customers who publish frequently updated content multiple times a year and require the ability to sell single issues or content subscriptions (as supported by individual marketplaces) through app stores including the Apple App store, Amazon Kindle Fire Newsstand, and Android Marketplace.
Enterprise Edition is a custom tailored solution that meets the individual needs of professional magazine and newspaper publishers, large corporations, membership organizations and advertising holding companies. Enterprise Edition is fully extensible and can be integrated with back-end editorial workflow solutions such as K4 and WoodWing, print fulfillment services, and dynamic rich media ad platforms.
Unlike Enterprise and Professional Edition customers, Single Edition customers do NOT have access or the ability to:
Create multi-.folio applications
Update content embedded in an application once it is published
Sell through multiple market places (Apple App store is only supported at this time)
Access foundational analytics powered by SiteCatalyst
Extend and integrate with other back end services/platforms

Buy License for single edition....newbie question

Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial
number)

Some Single Edition and Single Folio Questions

Hi all,
First of all, sorry about my english, is not as good as I'd like.
I've some questions about single edition and single folio projects, the process is not too clear for me:
With single folio, is possible to protect access through user/password? If it's possible... what's the way to get it working?
How many time does adobe need to give you the IPA file for the appstore when you work with a sigle folio project?
I've read with single edition you can't update your app, so if you publish in the App Store a book, and you find some mistakes... how can you solve them? Is possible to solve them buying another license or you need to load an complete new app?
Thanks in advance,
Marcos González.

Joe,
ALL of your questions were already asked and answered (some of them more than once) on this forum. You should try some searching first. No offence, but Bob (and the other Bob as well) are really working hard answering tons of questions coming in every day.
I think I can answer this one:
"How many Single Edition can I purchase? I have 16 small brochures for one client to publish to Apple's App Store."
Having 16 brochures to publish, it would be unwise to buy 16 SE codes for$395 each. Buying Professional Edition for one year (12x $495) would spare you $1200, and give possibility to publish even 1000 small brochures during the period.
Cheers,
Tomek

Single Edition Question: Which is correct ??

Edition comparrison info says with a Single Edition I can:
"Sell single-.folio applications through the Apple App Store
In the digitalpubsuite_help.pdf, Chapter 5: Assemble and Publish it states the following:
"Only Professional and Enterprise subscribers can publish folios and create custom viewer apps"
Which is correct?
Also.... if I want to publish a folio only for the Android market, is a Mac platform necessary!
Thanks to anyone!

Hi,
Bob (Bringhurst) will update the help document to state that you can now also use DPS Single Edition to create single-folio apps for distribution through the Apple app-store.
Currently, Viewer Builder only runs on Mac, so you'll need th mac platfrom as well to create (build) apps for Android. This might change in future.
Keep in my, that for creating iOS apps, you will need a Mac. You'll depend on the iOS SDK to be able to upload your apps to Apple (with the Application Loader). iOS SDK is Mac only.
With kind regards,

Single Edition :single question

Hello Adobe
I've got a simple and single question
- when you get a Single Edition and pay the US 395 fee and then get your folio available fopr iPad, do you get charged for the downloads (the 0.30)
same question even clearer
- for a Single Edition: do you pay US 395 and "that's it and there's no later charge or tax or anything and will this only cost US 395 forever ?"
Sorry but the more I read about all this, the more I'm lost
Thank you for your help

Have some patience.
Single edition apps are one offs. You pay the $395 and then submit the app to Apple.
You pay nothing more to Adobe.
Bob

Single Edition App rejected!

I just had my single edition app rejected by apple.
Here's the reported problem:
Your app has the UIFileSharingEnabled key set to true in the Info.plist, but this feature is not functional.
When file sharing is enabled, the entire Documents folder is used for file sharing. Files that that are not intended for user access via the file sharing feature should be stored in another part of your application's bundle. If your application does not require the file sharing feature, the UIFileSharingEnabled key in the Info.plist should not be set to true.
For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. Please be sure to prepare any symbolicated crash logs, screenshots, or steps to reproduce the issues for when the DTS engineer follows up. For information on how to symbolicate and read a crash log, please see Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing iPhone OS Application Crash Reports.
Any ideas how I fix that? Is that even an option in the Viewer Builder?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob,
Our app was rejected AGAIN and for the same reason!. I went through the steps in the builder again, and downloaded a new distribution zip file to submit to apple. Is there any way I can verify that this flag will not be set before I submit to Apple again? Waiting a week in between app rejections is pretty painful, and frustrating. Agan, ours is an Enterprise account with entitlements enabled for a mulit-issue publication.

We found that your app did not achieve the core functionality described in your marketing materials or release notes, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.

Why "Single Edition-App" and not "Professional"?

Hi, I've got 2 questions :
1. We've changed our Single Edition Account (two weeks ago) to a Professional Account.
Written in the DPS App Builder-panel is unfortunately still "Single-Edition-App."
How can I change this or is that normal?
2. How can I make an App for the iPad AND for iPhone to distribute on the App Store?
Is that possible with my professional Account? And what's the correct App-Type for that? I only can choose "Multi Folios", "Multi Folios with iTunes Abonnement", "Adobe Content Viewer".
Thanks for help

Hi Phillipe,
you need to rebuild your app using DPS App Builder if you want to change the app type, it does not automatically change when you switch to Professional Edition. You will then also have to resubmit it to the App Store.
Professional Edition allows you to create an app for iPad and iPhone. The app type depends on the kind of content you are offering with your app. Multiple versions of the same folio aimed at different devices are called renditions. You would need to choose "Multi Folio" for that. If you want to enable your readers to subscribe to your publication you would need to select "Multi Folio with iTunes Subscription".
Your second question cannot be answered comprehensively in a forum post as it involves just too many things. There is a lot of documentation available on the DPS help pages on the topics of the different app types, app creation and app distribution. Maybe start with this article Understanding different types of DPS apps and take it from there. There is also a Publishing Companion Guide available to download from the the DPS Dashboard which I can recommend.

Distributing Single Edition publication privately

Hi all, thanks for looking in.
We are a very small design company (2 of us) and we are starting to get into digital publications. One of our clients is a medical company and want to use digital publications as sales aids for their sales team.
The problem we have is the publications need to be private as they contain medical data etc. We are not in a position to be able to pay for a enterprise edition of dps which will enable us to 'distribute behind a corporate firewall'.
The only way we can afford to do this is to pay for a single edition per sales aid and charge the client accordingly.
Can we produce and distribute a single edition publication privately? or put some kind of protection on it so it would be available to everyone but only people with say a password or code can install it?
Also, the client has recently moved all it's sales force over to iPads and they have a Mobile Device Management System in place called Mobile Iron, is this something that can be used to distribute a single edition publication privately? If so how would we go about this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
David

Bob,
Couldn't David use the Single Edition (or Professional) to share the branded app privately using ad hoc distribution (for up to 100 devices, with a standard iOS developer account)? I've had these same questions recently and it seems this is the only approach without investment in the Enterprise solution (or PressRun, Aquafadas, etc)? I'm asking this because I'm still trying to understand if this is a realistic approach (for up to 100 devices).
The documentation said that this type of distribution is "for testing purposes". I'm not sure what exactly this means and if this is enforced or monitored.

Single edition and p12 certificate

Two questions:
1 - Using Single edition will I only need the serial number (Adobe single edition number) to publish on the app store? I've been finding conflicting information saying, yes, it's possible on the Adobe site, and then another source saying I would need either Professional or Enterprise to make the viewer "public" rather than "private." It seems with single edition I only have the "private" option available.
2 - I am building the app for a university. In order to sign the distribution app, I've downloaded the distribution mobileprovision file from the university's ios developer site. I can't create a p12 certificate using the university's distribution certificate on my computer.
I found this webpage describing how to transfer what I think I need: exporting your signing and provisioning assets from the one Mac and importing them to the other.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/ios_development_wor kflow/10-Configuring_Development_and_Distribution_Assets/identities_and_devices.html#//app le_ref/doc/uid/TP40007959-CH4-SW8
After my university contact sent me their p12 certificate, I'm having the following error message, "Not finding expected label 'iPhone Distribution:' in this certificate."
Can you tell me how to solve both issues?

1. In Single edition Workflow, you do not have an option to publish as Public, thus publish as Private then you would need to export the Folio and import it in Viewer Builder while building the App. Use the serial number to activate your build for download.
Read the following link for more on the workflow:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f6032817afa1337a03d59b-7f ff.html
2. Read the iPad publishing guide for creating required certificates (Attached). It's best if you complete the whole certificate process on a Single Mac using keychain Access to avoid complications. While creating certificates, remember to de-select enable for iCloud. I would recommend going though the guide in detail and follow step by step process as mentioned in the guide.

Single Edition - Reset serial & Delete wrong app

Hi... by mistake, I uploaded and used my serial in a wrong app. After testing I noticed that I would need to modify.
Tried to delete and uplad the new one, but the DPS App Builder doesn't let me delete, I am able only to edit, but the edit only allows me to change icons! I need to delete the wrong & old and upload the new one.
How is this possible ?
I only tested in my iPad, not even sent the distribution package to apple...
This is kind urgent... can some body help ?
cheers

Bob... one question.. just asked for my refund and that worked fine. No I don't know if, I get another Single Edition or CC. If I go to CC, the one app would work or I have to get the another subscription with full apps ?
In other workds, this DPS Single Edition comes with any of the 2 types of CC ?
Another question. If I go to CC single app, I will be able to send my magazine to apple, if I ask for refund in the first 30days, would my magazine still work over apple ? Apple & Adobe are two different things that don't talk each other or canceling the subscriptio my mag will desapear ?
No that I wanto to cheat Adobe... I am just looking all cenarios...
thanks for the help.
cheers

DPS Single Edition - Wrong builder ID, how to fix it?

Hello all,
We design a quarterly magazine, and we´re using a dps single edition license to have it available to the readers as an iPad independent app, for each edition.
We were doing our second edition, and by error, on the Viewer Builder on the provisioning step we used the old mobileprovision files from the first edition (with the old bundle id).
The result is easy to find out - the app created on the DPS Viewer Builder (and signed with the old provisioning files) is not correct when compared with the one prepared on iTunes Connect for this second edition, and we only noticed that when we were trying to submit the app with the Apple´s Application Loader.
So my question is easy: how can we edit our mag on viewer builder and change for the new provisioning files (we need to use a new bundle id because the second edition is not an upgrade but a new app) on the without buying and new DPS Single Edition License (please mind that when we edit it we can use new provisioning files but they should keep the same mobile provision id or else we get the following error "Bundle ID inside the mobileprovision does not match the bundle ID used for the build").
Thanks!
Mario

Hi Bob, thank you for your reply.
Re-creating the file unfortunately doesn´t solve my problem:
1) if I edit the app on the viewer and replace the provisioning files (now with the correct bundle id) I get "Bundle ID inside mobileprovision does not match the bundle ID used for build (which was xxx.xxxxx.xxx)" , which makes sense because I´ve used first the wrong ones (and that´s why I´m in deep trouble and unable to upload it to Apple)
2) if I create a new app, even with the same name, at the end it asks for the Single Edition serial number to activate, and if I use the one that I´ve bought, I get "Serial number already redeemed".
If there isn´t any other solution (all ideas are welcome) I´ll contact tech support from Adobe in order to reset my Serial number (or something similar) because we can´t afford to buy another serial without using first the one we have paid for.
Thanks
Mario
