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

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 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.

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 :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 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: 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.

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

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.

Clarity on Single Edition vs. Professional Edition

Hi Guys,
I am just trying to make the decision on whether I need the professional edition or whether it’s not worth it. I was hoping some of the regulars here might be able to answer a few questions;
What happens if you buy 10,000 folios and you sell 10,001… does it automatically top up, do you get billed later, or is that extra person blocked from downloading the app until you buy more folios?
What happens with your unused folios – do they simply become available to the next product you release? What happens if you cancel your subscription, or never sell more than 10,000? Are they refunded?
If you have the Professional Edition, can you choose to still release apps as a single edition (as in free of the folio download costs) when required?
Is there any way you can release an App through the single edition service, whereby it has an expiry date. For example, if the user downloads the app and in three months you want to make it so they can’t open the app again (they have to buy a new issue, for example) can you do that?
I currently have a Creative Cloud membership, which comes with the Single Edition DPS. If I roll over into the Professional Edition, does it replace my existing package? So I have Creative Cloud plus the PE features?
Many thanks
Chris

I'll answer the ones I know for sure off the top of my head.
2. Unused folios are available for any issues and publications you produce under your professional edition account. You can have multiple titles available, for example, and they all share the same bundle of folio downloads. If you cancel your subscription they are gone and are not refunded.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. They are separate. Professional Edition *only* gives you DPS publication capabilities. You still need to maintain your Creative Cloud subscription if you want access to Adobe software like InDesign, Photoshop, etc.

Single Edition Apps

Apologies for a newbie kind of question, but I'm wanting to know about publishing a single use app via our Adobe CC subscription.
The idea is a learning exercise to design + publish an app that I'd want to update fairly regularly - its tied to sports stats and infographics with interactivity, which I'd want to update through the season (at times every 1-2 weeks), but it could be 14 or so times in a year. Is this practical?
I would favour each update submitted to have fairly substantial additions each time as I want to give anyone who downloads it extra, new stuff each time… but do Apple get frustrated or tetchy about constant and/small updates to single edition apps? Do they critique stuff?
The app would be FREE.
Also, if an update is accepted, do people who have downloaded a previous version get notified, or would I have to do this via Twitter or similar.
Thanks.
Craig

Thanks for the replies, Neil and Bob
I though this might be the case - I understand their reasons. Its almost like there needs to be an inbetween license for small publishers maybe, for non-commercial apps. Clearly what I want to do is beyond the single edition license, but the cost of the other license types is simply beyond me.
However, I think I can still tackle it. What I have developing does have plenty of interactive content for users (certainly cpompared to some stuff I have seeen), but I may just have to prepare it all as more of a season's 'retrospective analysis', then submit it to Apple to avoid constant updates.
Above all, its a process of learning DPS - that's the main thing. Its really just starting to make its presence felt here in New Zealand, so its a pretty exciting product… especially for an old print dog liek me who needs some new tricks!
Cheers guys.

Update an Single edition app with different (pro) account

Hello,
I have question regarding updating SE apps.
1. From what I understand you can still create single edition apps for ipads after May 1st with a pro account, correct?
2. If I create an app now, with my CC account, can I later, after May 1st, create a professional account under a different name (company name, not mine) and update my old app? (assuming that my apple account and certificates stays the same)
Thank you
Alex

1. Yes.
2. Yes.

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.
Your app has the UIFileSharingEnabled key set to true in the Info.plist, but this feature is not functional.
