Social Sharing in Beta iOS app?

We have an ipad dps app set up for social sharing. I believe everything is set up properly within the DPS app builder. I uploaded the build to iTunes Connect and we are doing beta testing on the app. The social sharing doesn't seem to be working within the folios. Should it be working in the beta test app? Please advise ASAP. Thanks.

Yes definitely working in developer Apps too.
Make sure you have enabled the "Web Viewer" checkbox in the Administration panel + your articles should not be protected if you intend to share them.

Enable social sharing for DPS enterprise APP

Hi,
My client is trying to use social sharing feature (share the article on someone's facebook wall) in the enterprise app for some reason. I have tried to build the enterprise iOS app from APP builder and the social sharing function didn't work at all ( the error message: unable to share. Sorry, this article is not available for sharing ). I think maybe the enterprise APP is for internal usage and not able to share any content outside the company. Does anyone have any experience about putting sharing feature inside enterprise app? Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Andy

Webviewer is disabled (in account administration) and/or all artilcles have article access set to protected.

Creating a custom app to proof social sharing

I have created a couple different custom apps to try to proof social sharing and I have created a folio with metered and free articles and published it private and free, and I have read everything (I think). I cannot get the navigation bar to show the "heads up display" for social sharing. Why?

Folios published as private won't appear in your custom viewer app. You need to publish the folios as public, and you need to enable social sharing in both DPS App Builder and in the application account (using the Account Admin tool).

Social sharing in single edition with pro account

Hello,
I'm confused by the explanation on the Adobe website, so if anyone could explain to me the following, that'd be nice!
A client of us has a Professional account for DPS, but so far he has only used it to make a Single Edition app. Now this client would like to add Social Sharing features to his app, but everywhere I look I find that Social Sharing is only available for Professional accounts.
In this instance, the client has a Professional account, but just hasn't used to make Multifolio apps. Is it possible in this case to add Social Sharing to his Single Edition app? After all, he does have a Pro account?
Thanks!

Is there actually a reason why not?
I mean, if it's possible to implement this in multi-folio apps, I can imagine that someone might want to share something that's in a single edition. In my opinion, this just doesn't make sense and is one more letdown for the entire DPS thing...
Guess we'll have to try to explain this to our customer or look for an alternative method for digital publishing instead of DPS.

Creating bookmarks and social sharing

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find out which version of DPS you need to enable bookmarks and social sharing? We currently have single edition and I think I read somewhere that you can only enable those features within a multi-folio, but want to double check that as I can't find the source I read that from. Thank you.

That's correct. Professional and Enterprise publishers can enable bookmarks and social sharing in multi-folio apps.

Social Sharing only links to Publication URL not Web Viewer URL

I initially created a multi-folio app with the DPS App Builder (Social Sharing enabled per the instructions), but forgot to enable the Web Viewer on my account.
This, per the documentation under Enable Web Viewer in this article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c-6c5b4101331de1fd6a-80 00.html, causes all SHARED links to be the Publication URL. Oops!
I have since enabled the Web Viewer, republished my Folio AND re-generated my app, and the Social Sharing button in the App will only display the Publication URL, and not the Web Viewer URLs.
Do I just need to be patient? It's been a few hours.
Also: is there any way to get to the Web Viewer URLs outside of sharing through the app?

Can no longer return to iOS app in AIR 4.0 Beta

Is it me or is it no longer possible to return to an iOS app in AIR 4.0 beta? An app I just compiled restarts every time you launch it. No such problem in AIR 3.9.

Just yesterday I saw a problem where going to the home screen and back would either crash the app or would leave it in a frozen state. It only happened if by that time I had been via a part of the app that played an animation that used stream audio.
Might you be seeing the same kind of thing, where you can go in and out of your first screen, but get crashes or hangs when going from another screen?
I didn’t log a bug yet because it’s a hard problem to narrow down, because the crashing happens when you return to the app, and so doing a debug session won’t help, the session closes when you go to the home screen.

Creating an iOS App with File Sharing Activated

From what I can decipher, the only way for a user to retrieve a document created by an iOS app is through iTunes, but only if the app has file sharing activated.
Is there a way to create an iOS app in Flash CS5.5 and make it a file sharing app?

I used the following code for sharing files to documents directory, and it works just fine. I am able to access the files copied by the app.
I made this app using Flash Builder. I will share another one using Flash Pro, soon.

HT201301 I see some iOS apps in the file sharing list for my iPad device but I do not see the same APP on the file sharing list of my other iOS device

There are some iOS apps appear in the file sharing list of my iPad that does not appear in my iPhone file sharing list. Why is that and why iBook App does not show on the sharing list of my iPad?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

IOS App Beta testing

Hi there,
I am new in these communities, so I would appreciate any help possible.
My app is close to being submitted for approval, but I am currently looking for help with beta testing the app.
Can someone help me with the process/options I have?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

There's no official way, but many websites offer the service:
- to distribute your beta over the air if you already know your Beta-testers
- to find beta-testers and have them test your app.
Some are free, but the result in terms of quality is not ensured, others can find great beta testers for you but they are paid service (price can vary a lot).
You can type in any search engine the keywords about that, and you should find what you're looking for !
(for instance: "ios app review beta test")

Single Folio Apps: No Bookmarks and Social Sharing

I was just reading on DPS Help that Single Folio Apps don't support Bookmarks or Social Sharing. Does that mean that if I have Bookmarks linking to pages within my folio, they won't work? I know it looks like my question is answered in first statement, but I'm really hoping I'm not understanding something.
I have Hyperlinks in my TOC linking to bookmarks in the folio.
I don't know what Social Sharing exaclty is, so I don't think it'll affect me.
Thanks

The term "bookmarks" means two different things in InDesign/DPS. There is the bookmarks feature in InDesign that links to other parts of the document when you view a PDF document, and there is the bookmarks feature in DPS in which you can add your favorite articles to the list of favorites. The PDF bookmarks aren't supported in DPS. The DPS bookmarks ("favorites") feature is supported. Here's a description.
BookmarksIf you enable bookmarks in Viewer Builder, customers can mark an article as a bookmark and then choose that bookmark from a drop-down menu in the nav bar to jump to the bookmarked article. Bookmarks work across multiple folios within the same viewer app.
The Social Sharing feature is the ability to use social media to share articles through facebook, twitter, or email so that they can be read on a computer or a device. You can read about it here: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/using-social-sharing.html
When you say that you have hyperlinks in your TOC linking to bookmarks in the folio, what kind of bookmark are you referring to?

Facebook social sharing - login failed error

I have setup my app for social sharing following the http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/setting-dps-app-social-networking.html instructions
However, when I test my development app, whilst it allows me to select Facebook from the social sharing drop-down, and gives the option to allow Facebook to access my basic profile info and list of friends, once I have done this, I then get the following error message:
"Login Failed. Please log in to Facebook and authorize "app name" through the iOS device settings or through the Facebook iOS application".
I have also found I get the same error when I try to share from other downloaded 3rd party newsstand publications - though not all of them? So am not sure whether this is something to do with:
1. how I've configured social sharing in my app (and if so, then other publications have also incorrectly configured theirs)
2. the settings on my own iPad - although these all seem to be in order, my app name doesnt appear in my Facebook settings to enable me to authorise login
On previously speaking with Adobe Support - I understand that I only need to register an app with Facebook to get an App ID, rather than fully create a Facebook app and get this approved (A process which I understand takes months?)
On re-reading the instructions, I have not yet completed the additional suggested Facebook SDK configuration "Implement Single Sign-On (SSO)" via XCode. Just wondering before I embark on this if this is actually the issue?
Would be very grateful for any advice/clarification on the above
Many thanks

I tried a few things, but I'm not entirely sure exactly which of them resolved it:
1.   I began by starting the "Implement Single Sign-On" instructions by following the links at the bottom of the Adobe instructions page under "Additional Facebook configuration information"
     http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/setting-dps-app-social-networking.html
     https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/#implementsso
     https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/facebook-sdk-for-ios/
     I completed steps 1 - 5 on the last link - but stopped at the step 6 - start coding - as this got a bit beyond me (I'm not a programmer!)
2. I then looked back at the settings in the Facebook app, and under permissions, changed the Default Activity Privacy to Public, and the Auth Token Parameter to URI Fragment (#acces_token=...)
I would perhaps try adjusting your FB settings first and see if this solves it before trying the Xcode route.
(I fed my findings back to Adobe Support to see if they could shed any light on this, but heard nothing back).
Please let me know how you get on and if this works for you
Kind regards
Sharon

Is it still possible to create a 32-bit only iOS app?

With the latest AIR release (17), is there any way to still create a 32-bit only iOS app for testing on the iPad 1? It's currently not possible to install an app with 64-bit support on an iPad 1 to test the app. My understanding, however, is that Apple will do something on their end that will allow apps submitted to the App Store (with 64-bit support) to still be downloaded and installed on an iPad 1. Having a way to test on the iPad 1 before submission to Apple would be nice.
Is there a compiler switch or something that can be used for this purpose? If not, could such a switch be added easily? If we had such an option, we could continue testing on and supporting the iPad 1. Being in the education market, this is kind of critical to us.
Thanks,

Because an app built with 64-bit support *cannot* be installed on an iPad 1 device for testing purposes, whether using iTunes or Xcode. It simply doesn't work. This is the message generated by Xcode:
This is when trying to install an app built with Flash Builder 4.7 and AIR sdk 17 beta.
As I stated before, my understanding is that Apple will still allow installing apps on an iPad 1 through the App Store, but *only* through the App Store. In my opinion, this is too late. We really need a way to continue testing on the iPad 1, if at all possible. That's why I'm asking if there's a possibility of adding a compiler switch of some kind that would allow building 32-bit only apps, for testing purposes only.
Thanks.

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???

How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!) And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work. JEM24

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???
