Single Edition overview

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f6032817afa1337a03d59b-7f ff.html

Finally Single Edition is available on the Creative Cloud Subscription. Great news!
But there is on thing that I don't hear much news about: is there any plans to have Single Edition for Android and smartphones? I read on some other post that there was a limitation on the size of the Android Apps, but that this limitation does not exist anymore. Now Android Apps can be as big a 4Gb (if I'm correct).
I am missing some opportunities here in Brazil because some clients really want to publish their apps for Android tablets, since the majority of their clients have an Android device. Even with the iPad being a more stable platform and being the best selling DEVICE, Android OS has a bigger market share.
Regarding the smartphones, some apps really make sense for these devices (like schedules for shows, events, list of exhibitors...) because they are the ones you allways have with you.

Single Edition DPS adding articles, FEES?

If I publish a folio with my single edition through the cloud that has 5 articles, can I add 4 more articles to that same folio at a later date? And then add 2 more articles at another date? And if I can, do I just delete that folio and upload the new one? What would the workflow be to do this? and MOST IMPORTANT, what if any fees/costs are involved in doing this.
Would love an answer to this. Thanks everyone

You cannot add articles once your app is approved by Apple but yes can add articles even after publishing folio.There is no need to delete folio and can use same folio.
The workflow of DPS Single edition is different from other editions thus there is difference in publishing process. You can only publish as private and then you will have to export the Zip file from Folio producer which you already did as you wrote. Now that same zip has to be imported in Viewer Builder while building your custom viewer.
You need first use your Serial key to activate the build, then you can download the developer.ipa to test it on your iPad, remember that your Mobile provisioning file should have your iPad’s UDID added to make it work on your iPad. You can only use the serial key one, you would not be able to reset or make changes after you have used the key, thus for basic testing, use Adobe content viewer and use the serial key only on finalized content.
With Single Edition, you do not pay download fees. Download fees apply only to multi-issue apps created by Pro and Enterprise customers. Since the content is embedded inside the App, and Adobe does not host your folio or content. DPS Single Edition is 395$. That all you need to pay. You can also purchase CCM subscription in which you can build unlimited single issue apps.

How many apps can you build with ADP Single Edition?

DPS Single Edition means that you can only create ONE app through the App Builder?
If you need to create 2 or 3 what are your options? Creative Cloud, Prodfesional Edition?
Creative Cloud suscribers need to buy the DPS anyway?

With Creative Cloud you can create as many Single Edition apps as you want.

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

DPS Single Edition - what if Apple rejects your app?

If you pay for a single edition license and Apple rejects your application after viewing, where do you stand with Adobe?
Are you able to make the changes needed to the app, then rebuild and re-submit?
Is it like a professional, or enterprise edition where you can amend and fine tune your app (through builds and rebuilds) until it is perfect within Viewer Builder - but you're just limited to the one viewer app?
Thanks

Thanks Bob.
I haven't got any problems, this is just hypothetical at the moment.
Is there a limit to the amount of changes I want to make? Say I have built my folio, zipped it and placed it in the app in viewer builder. I see a couple of minor errors, so need to re-zip the folio and rebuild the viewer. Then I want to add another section (which requires another rebuild). Is that all doable? I'm just talking from real-life experience of digital publication development - I don't think our first viewer build has ever been the one we've pushed to Apple.

Single Edition - How long for approval from Apple to App Store? Is Content Viewer an Option?

Hello -
I am in somewhat of a predicament. We have a client who has just told us that they would like to make an app we created for them available for attendees of a conference, somewhere from 100-300 people. The app we created for them was just done and put into Content Viewer, as it was just for that one client, and on that one iPad.
Now, we'd like to make it public for 100-300 people, so we are going to purchase the single edition. But, we need this up and available for purchase in the app store in 10 days. I realize it varies from case to case, but does anyone think there's a chance the Apple App store could approve in enough time, say if we uploaded on a Monday and needed it to be available on a Friday?
If not - anyone have ideas for contigency plans? Some questions I have: how many Adobe IDs can an app be shared with? Like, would it be possible to share the folio with one Adobe ID, and then give that login to people at the conference who want to see the app, and then they log in to Adobe Content Viewer, log in, and download if they want. Seems shaky at best, but is it worthy as a backup plan?
Thanks much,
B

You can check some websites that give a average idea of the current wait times for an app to be reviewed.
I generally use the below to give myself an idea of the wait time. I do not use these type of sites when talking to clients however.

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' - even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

Native android apps - with DPS single edition?

Can you build native android apps also with DPS single edition or only with enterprise edition?
Thank you for you help!

Thank you for your reply, Bob!
I've forgotten to ask the most important thing: This also stays that way for DPS V30?
Thank you!

Can you publish a DPS single edition app to the android and googleplay marketplace?

I can't find a simple answer anywhere. On one of the pages it says "Publish everywhere- Every device, every platform' but it does not confirm whether this is possible for single edition apps or how it can be done. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

Hi, this is iPad only. Please see this table: Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS supported feature list

Problem with serial number on single edition

Hello,
We bought a single edition with the account : [email protected]
We did received well the serial key but unfortunately we used it on another account : [email protected]
All was going well to get the ipa and zip files. We uplaoded the file on itunes to be synchronized with the ipad, the app icon can be seen on our itunes but not on the ipad, is it possible to reset the serial key to be used with the right account ?
Thank you

When you sync app with ipad using itunes, do you get any error message?
Contact Adobe DPS technical support or you can PM information to me.

Genereate an android app with single edition ?

Hello to all
How to Build an Android application with DPS Single Edition?
I saw "Aquafadas solution" have the advantage of being able to generate Apps for any support, which makes sense!
But then, I'm trained, perfected for months on the DPS, but it is not simple for me to trainning Aquafadas again : - \, especially since I do not find it necessarily intuitive ... it is my opinion Personal.
Is there any other solution to generate an application on your iPhone or Android device with another tt the single Edition?! unless you go on the Professional or Entreprise solution??
Frankly, even for Adobe, I see they have a significant shortfall, even if they are generating app for "Free" for iPad only THAT, they should at least provide a winning formula for each device but that it is at least accessible to little companies, as do the AQUAFADAS solution as well.
To my knowledge the only way to generate it is to switch to formula DPS business or pro price completely unacceptable finally pay € 4,000 / year that's crazy!
A solution proposal?
PS. Sorry for my english

You can’t. DPS SE is iPad only.

Export single edition and import in a content with others magazines: EDIT

I am trying to import files exported from a single edition from another userID. Now I want to have that magazine in a new kiosk with others. Is it possible?
I try:
import files downloaded from the single edition "Folio, xml, etc...."
Share from the other uerID the magazine, but I cant see and edit the content.
Do I have to re-use the indesign files to copy the mag in another user? :/
Thank you very much!

turn your single edition folio into an online folio, share with the other account, use the copy folio feature to copy from account A into account B.
There is no way to import content that was exported using the export feature in folio producer

No Response when submitting build for single-edition custom viewer app

I want to build a custom viewer app for a single-edition folio for the iPad using the Viewer Builder. I go through all the steps described by the help articles and videos, such as generating and downloading mobileprovision files and creating asset files. However, at the final step, where the viewer builder displays the text: 'Once you hit the Submit Build' button, your build will be queued. Click 'Finish' to return to your list of publications. I click 'Submit Build', and I get the progress bar which says 'Submitting to the build queue: This popup will disapper once complete'. Once the popup disappears, I click, 'Finish', and I am returned to the Manage screen. I can see a list item for each time I attempted to submit a build, but the Builds and Build Details Columns are blank, showing no builds. However, there is a link in the App Status Column to 'Activate' by entering a serial number. Is it necessary for me to enter my serial number before I can see the results of my build, or is there something wrong with the build process?

Yes, and you need to PAY for that serial number. Single Edition apps are $395 each.

Creating app for Android/Kindle with App builder and Single Edition (No professional or Enterprise)

Hi there,
I know there is no official support for Android in Single Edition, but, once you have installed Indesing CC and App Builder in a mac, and you create app from your Folio menu, is it possible to create then an Android/Kindle apk app for publishing by your own?
Has anybody published sucessfully in this way?
Other point, is that I suposse that you need a Professional or Enterprise licence to create an android app from the Web-enablet App Builder. Cause I can't find the way the make my single account to join the role to this function (And app builder website website just tells me I have to do this, as if I were able to do it with my license...).
By the way, I think Adobe should explain more clearly this points. There is too much documentation, but difficult to find this answers... And a lot of people with the same troubles...
Thanks!

Thanks Tomek!
So, can you confirm if you join the Professional edition (just for a month) if you are able to use both options App Builder/Web-Based App Builder, to create the app in a way that you don't need to be suscribed more time to Professional Edition to be downloaded by the users in Google Play/Kindle Store, and it should work for Applestore (iphone apps) too. I mean, once again, no using Multi-issue and Renditions, cause in this case I know they are hosted by Adobe and you need the subscription to be downloaded.
I think there are discussions here about this topic, but it's not exactly clear what I'm asking. So, I still don't know if I should buy the Professional Edition or go to another supplier as you said.
I hope that Adobe improve these functions! There should be native support for these platforms, cause at the end you only can publish to the applestore with the Single Edition and everbody knows the "too booky problem" with the apps. And we should have support to publish to ibookstore because of that too, without third party solutions.
