Submitting a Second Folio in a Subscription App

Hello,
I need some guidance regarding the steps necessary to submit the second issue of a multi-folio iTunes subscription app. The issue has been published in the folio producer, but I'm unsure of what needs to be done in the app builder and/or the iOS portal. Do I need to create a new App ID or mobileprovision files? I've reviewed the Adobe iOS Publishing Companion Guide, but don't see much information regarding subsequent issues. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Darin

Is the new folio free or retail?
If it's a folio for a free subscription, you just need to publish it as Public and Free, and it will show up in your app library for users to download.
If it's a retail folio, you need to go into iTunes Connect and create an in-app purchase (non-consummable) for that individual folio. When you create the folio, you'll specify a product ID (such as "com.publisher.musicmag.february2013"). Submit the in-app purchase to Apple. In Folio Producer, publish the folio as Public and Retail, and specify the exact same Product ID you entered in iTunes Connect. The folio won't show up in your live app until Apple approves the in-app purchases and it's cleared for sale. Once Apple approves, it might take a couple of hours for the new folio to show up.

  • Dev subscription app - Apple login fails

    Hi there,
      We have a live 'multi-folio with iTunes subscription' app to which we're adding social sharing. I've created a development version using the same details as live, but with a different title ID, so we can test with different folios (there's an additional help page in the folios, explaining the sharing).
      The development app installs (on a phone) ok, but when opened and the user is challenged for Apple login details (to subscribe or recover previous content) no combination of username/password is accepted, even though the same details work ok for downloading others apps etc. Have we messed something up in the rebuild, it's not something I've seen before?
      Thanks,
    Toby

    Testing the developer app requires a sandbox environment user credentials instead of the actual Apple ID used to download live apps. For details on setting up test users. go here iTunes Connect Developer Guide: Setting Up User Accounts

  • Second folio not appearing in multi folio DPS app – help?

    I'm publishing a second folio in a multi folio DPS app. I have used a new Adobe ID to create the folio. I have published it no digitalpublishing.arcobat.com using PUBIC and FREE.
    This is where I've run into problems, I think. I have tried using a new PRODUCT ID as well as the one from the first folio but neither appeared to have worked.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What PRODUCT ID do I use?
    2. How long does it take for the new folio to appear on devices?
    3. Does anything have to be submitted to APPLE this time?
    Thanks in advance!

    The term "Product ID" can be confusing because a Product ID can refer to the app itself or to a "product" within the app such as a folio or subscription. In this case, when you publish a folio, the Product ID refers to a product within the app, so you need to distinguish it from other products (folios). That's a long way of telling you to use a different Product ID for each new issue you publish. If you specify the same Product ID for different folios, the viewer will treat them as renditions, and display only one of them. We recommend using the "com.publisher.app.issue" format, such as "com.sportspub.climbingtoday.201406" for the June issue.
    If you publish the second folio as Free and Public using a different Product ID, it should appear right away in your app. (For retail issues, it can take longer for Apple to process the in-app purchase.)

  • Submitting a subscription app to Apple

    I want to submit an app with a 1 yr auto-renewable subscription.
    I have one folio within the app at the moment, but that is free.
    The next folio (paid for) won't be available for another 6 weeks, so I can't yet submit the IAP for it to Apple along with this new viewer.
    So, am I able to submit a multi-issue viewer with iTunes subscription even though I don't have any paid-for content within the app as it currently stands? Or do I have to include at least one paid for folio as well?
    The client wants the app available on Newsstand from the start, that's why we are submitting it with an auto-renewable subscription. In 6 weeks time, the viewer will have a paid for folio and many more will follow after that...

    I belive, you can not.
    I tried to do so. Apple demanded the paid subscriptoin content to be present in review process.
    I ended up to produce 2 folios.
    You can not argue with Apple.

  • When creating an Android app in DPS App Builder, why do I not have the option of "Multi Folio with Amazon Subscription"?

    The only option available is Google Play. Why is this happening?

    I found a folder with an old APK file that worked. I wish I could edit it because it has the wrong splash screen attached to it, but at least the app is working. I wish I could have the app back in app builder and be able to edit that. I understand that you all aren't going to support these Amazon Subscription apps but we have current subscribers and they may have a full year left. We are stuck with an app that we still need to use until their subscriptions are up before we can make a change to how our android user are going to receive their magazines. Adobe should allow some sort of support for this type of situation. Now I have an app with a bad splash screen that looks completely unprofessional. Is there anyway to recover the file in App Builder? Is that what you were referring to or were you just referring to the APK file? I do appreciate all your help and attention to this.

  • Product ID for second issue of multi viewer app

    hi,
    I've in this forum already found very usefull info about publishing the second issue of a free multi viewer app but still can't figure out if we have to use the same Product ID  for each issue, or do we need to create a different Product ID for each issue ?
    I've put two examples below, suppose one of them has to right. Or not ??
    Is this the way to handle multiple issues (option 1):
    product ID issue 1 = Product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname
    Or is this the right way (option 2):
    product ID issue 1 = com.magnusmedia.magname.01
    product ID issue 2 = com.magnusmedia.magname.02
    thanx in adavance
    Herman
    Allright, was in a hurry and tested it out myself.
    Option 2 is working for me, hope it's right to handle it that way.
    With option 1 the app crashes (dark gray screen, no folio opens, library- en scrolling buttons are available but)

    Short answer: Yes, use a different Product ID for each folio (or for each set of folio renditions).
    Longer answer: It's confusing that there are three different types of Apple Product IDs:
    (1) the app Product ID, which you can ignore
    (2) subscription duration Product IDs for a paid app or a single Product ID for a free subscription app
    (3) a Product ID for each retail folio
    When you're setting up a free subscription app, you don't need to use iTunes to create a Product ID for individual folios, because your folios are free. You just need to set up a free subscription Product ID in iTunes Connect and specify that Product ID in the DPS App Builder. On the Adobe side, you use a different Product ID for different folios you publish, such as com.publisher.publication.2012October and com.publisher.publication.2012November.  If you're creating renditions, you use the same Product ID for the different renditions and different Product IDs for different sets of renditions.

    I'm not quite following. I have the app created and ready in iTunes Connect--it is a "multi-folio with iTunes subscription" and is enabled for Newsstand. The free subscription product ID in App Builder matches the Apple ID in iTunes Connect.
    We wish to launch the app with an older issue (folio) and we'll publish the current issue in the coming days. All of the issues that will be available in this app will be free. And we would obviously like the users to be notified when a new issue is available.
    Do I not need an in-app purchase for this older issue--the one that will be available immediately? As I have it now, in iTunes Connect, I click on the "manage in-app purchases" and I have this first, older issue that is ready to submit. And in the "manage newsstand" section I don't have any issues.
    Is this correct?

  • Empty Viewer on Test iPad for multi folio iTunes Free Subscription

    Hello,
    I'm trying to test a free subscription, multi folio newsstand app with renditions. However, the viewer opens without any folios - just the subscription tiles. I've triple checked the Apple product IDs, shared secrets and have all of the appropriate certificates. I'm at my wit's end! A few questions:
    Should free subscriptions folios be public/free or retail? I'm reading conflicting things.
    I'm a little unsure of the order in which I should publish folios in the folio producer. Should this step proceed or follow creating the .ipa for testing?
    Does this naming of the actual folios matter, as long as they are the same? I only need the same exact Product ID for iTunes Connect and the App Builder, correct?
    I've noticed that after you enter your shared secret there is a field to enter an iTunes url in the Admin Tool. Which url do we use? Do we enter this after the folio is public?
    Thanks!
    Darin

    Free subscriptions should be Public/Free, not Retail.
    It doesn't matter which order you publish the folios and create the .ipa for testing. When you publish the folios as Free and Public, they should appear in your testing app if (A) you specified the shared secret, (B) published the folios as Public/Free, (C) set up your renditions/folios correctly, and (D) specified the free subscription Product ID created in iTunes Connect in the DPS App Builder.
    When you set up renditions for a subscription app, the Folio Name, Product ID, and Publication Date values need to be the same for all renditions, and different for each set of renditions. Specify the Publication Date values by choosing from the calendar picker.
    Yes, the iTunes URL becomes available when you publish the app.

  • Updating a MULTI-ISSUE APP to a MULTI-ISSUE SUBSCRIPTION app

    If I create a multi-issue app, where the customer just puchases each new folio/issue, can I update that specific app to a multi-issue with iTunes subcription at some point in the future?
    Basically, our publication isn't ready for a subscription model yet but it will be early next year. We want our app to be able to offer a subscription once it is avilable without the customer having to download a new version of the app.
    I assume the workflow would be:
    - submit multi issue viewer app with app description/screenshots specified in iTunes Connect. That gets approved, goes live and runs as required.
    - a month later, we want to introduce a subscription model.
    - I build a multi-issue with iTunes subscription app, update my app description, version and add subs details in iTunes connect and submit that to Apple. That gets approved and the app is updated, now offering a subscription.
    Answer musch appreciated.

    Yes, you can convert a multi-issue app to a subscription app. A subscription app requires push notifications, so you'll make it easier on yourself to add push.
    When you first submit your app, you may want to submit as many in app purchases as you can for pre-approval.
    When you create your App ID, turn off iCloud.
    When you're ready to make the app a subscription app, create your auto renewable subscription durations in iTunes Connect. You'll need to submit a new app version when you submit the in app purchases. In Viewer Builder, create a new viewer -- you can't edit the old viewer.

  • How to manage multiple folios inside our Newsstand App?

    We publish a monthly food magazine and will soon publish special "recipe collections" during the same month. (We have Pro account and a multi-folio with iTunes subscription)
    Questions are...
    1. How do I keep the monthly food issue (the parent) always live in the iTunes store (ie. our specific landing page inside the iTunes store) and yet publish these special recipe collections (the child) a few days later?
    2. Won't the most recent issue (parent or child) be the one live on iTunes? I know I can control to publish date for each, but what's the best way to do this?
    3. Plus, what if our marketing team asks me to promote the special recipe collections (the child) on iTunes during a specific time of the month, say the last week of the month?
    Thanks for any insight or best practices.

    By default, no email notifications are sent for any stage that uses the standard "Security" Approver Determinator.  If you want email notifications sent to your 4 BASIS users, I suggest creating a Custom Approver Determinator (CAD) to use instead.  Assuming that it's not for the first stage of your approval workflow, then you could just use an attribute that will always be true... like 'Request Type = New' or whatever applies to your situation.  Just define all 4 of your BASIS users as the approvers for that attribute and then use the CAD in your stage.

  • Questions for Subscription App.

    I am using DPS Single Editions & currently have an app waiting for review. I wanted to change it to a subscription based app and had some questions.
    Can I even build an app for Newstand with Single Editions?
    Like this thread says I can't: Prepping DPS app for newsstand
    "All Newsstand apps must be subscriptions apps—either free or retail. Single-issue viewer apps cannot appear in Newsstand." Adding Digital Publishing Suite apps to Apple Newsstand | Adobe Developer Connection
    If so, do I need to re-create the app within the App Builder to specify that it's going to be for the newstand? Or can I just use my original app & just change the options within iTunesConnect?
    I just wanted confirmation, since I remember talking to Adobe Support saying that I could create subscriptions with the Single Editions (Creative Cloud Subscription).  If I can't create subscriptions, is my only option to go with the Enterprise package?
