Testing Retail Single Edition?

We have a Pro account.
I have created a Single Editon app thru App Builder and setup in-app purchase thru iTunes Connect. I have downloaded the .ipa file to my iPad. The folio functions correctly. How do I test the retail purchase of this Single Edition app?
Tom

Why do you have to setup In-App purchase for a Single Edition App? In A Single edition DPS app, you cannot have an in-app purchase. In-app purchase is for multi issue folio. In a single edition app, your folio is backed into the app and the whole package is send and stored at Apple.
By the way, there's no purchasing test environment for a Single Edition App. You can only download the .ipa and test it on your device before sending it to Apple for approval. Apple already knows that as long as your Single Edition app is working fine for you through the developer.ipa on your test device, purchasing should not be a problem for end users. Therefore, there is no need to test the purchasing workflow

Devloper app (.ipa) created to test, but I can't transfer Single edition app to updated version

Hi
I went through the process of creating the developer and distribution app. I wanted to test the distribution app before I upload to the store. You need to use a "Built-in Single Edition App" licence from Adobe to create the developer and distribution app.
Once tested we found a minor mistake. But once I rebuilt the app to create another developer file to test I found I could not use the same SIngle Edition App serial number, or transfer it, or even delete the original file and try again.
It seems a bit harsh that the process allows you to create a test file, but if you use single edition you can't change anything at that point any way.
Is there any way around this?

Single edition .ipa test failed

Hi,
I've produced and export a single edition .ipa file but failed to install and test it on my ipad.
When i double-clicked the .ipa and tried to update my iPad first the icon viewed on iPad's screen as you see below...
But when the installation completed the icon stayed dark and nothing happened.
So i can install the viewer app but can't view the content...
I've checked the devices and UDID numbers on Apple developer portal but nothing changes...
I'll be appreciated if you can help.
Thanks...

Either the .p12 certificates are invalid or the UDID is incorrect in the .mobileprovisiong cert. Either way I'll double check the UDID again just to be sure(remove & re-add) then re-do the certificates again. Delete all exisiting certs and start from sratch to be on the safer side

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.

Updating an existing DPS app via single edition

Okay, so I already have an app live on the app store which I published a few months ago using the DPS Single Edition platform.
I would now like to update/upgrade this app on the apple store with a new folio.
Just recently, I upgraded to a new iMac and made sure to copy all material on my hard drive which included all the certificates, so that I can use them again for an update.
I found a great tutorial Digital Publishing Suite Help | Publishing folios to the Distribution Service to update my app but have come across an issue.
The problem I am facing now is that when I log on to the DPS App Builder platform and try and edit the current app I get this error message....
If you can't see the error message clearly it says....
Missing folio
The folio included in this application is missing.The app was
initially created on another computer machine, the folio file has been
moved or the App Builder application storage was deleted
I don't understand what this actually means as I have copied all files from my old computer with reference to the first app on to my new one......
Can someone help me out here please. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks
Myles

Thanks for your reply Neil.
Okay, so I created a new app via the DPS App Builder, filled in all the app details plus the mobile provision files.
Inserted the dev p12 certificate plus passwords and tested the app on my iPad with great success.
The problem I am having now is downloading the distribution app.
When I click Distribution App in the Downloads column of my new app, select my p12 distribution certificate and proceed to enter the password, a red square is seen around the Distribution P12 Certificate box.
I have used the same certificates as last time as instructed.
Do you think there may be a problem with the fact that there are now 2 apps in the DPS App Builder using the same P12 Certificate even though I will be replacing the old one in iTunes when I get there?
Any help would be much appreciate.
Thanks

Problem with single edition App v32

I'm trying to create a single edition App using v32, but when I download the ".ipa" and transfer to my iPad the app opens in blank.
It seams that there is no folio inside it, but I have already tried with different folios and zips, and the same problems occurred.
Can anyone help me?
I already have an App and I'm editing the App with the new folio to update it.
I'm testing in an iPad air with iOS8.
I don't know what can I do to fix it.

hi Bob,
Thanks for response. It is so frustrating.
This is the rejection message i got. I am only trying to update an existing iPad only app.
Have latest version of everything. And i did a complete rebuild but have re-linked them all and then done the build (viewer version 32).
Get no errors when i build and the development and distribution app are put onto my mac.
when i look in my adobe viewer on iPad it is fine. but when i try and look at the loaded .ipa ..i get splash screen then blank screen...

Some files in HTMLResources not loading in single edition developer app

Good day again.
I have created a single edition app and it works perfectly when tested in Content Viewer. The moment I install the Developer .ipa the PDF files I loaded in the HTMLResources.zip folder does not load.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
Thanks

Anyone? I installed DPS v32.1 hoping that will solve the problem but still no joy.
The Single Edition app I build works fine on both iOS7 and 8 when viewed in the Content Viewer, but as soon as I download the Developer App the PDF files I embedded in the HTMLResources.zip file does not load?
Please, any help out there?

Technical support for single edition DPS

Hi
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I'm trying to find the answer as to why I keep getting the 'folio missing error' when I try to create my app.
I've already submitted it to apple and it's been approved and appears in the app store. However, I have made a couple of text amends and now can't seem to test the new version or download the distribution zip files to re-submit to apple.
I'm quite up against it in terms of client deadline and I was wondering if somebody can maybe try and help... or is there a technical support number I can call to speak to somebody and hopefully resolve my problem?
I've tried the number on the website but I'm uk based and the number appears to be invalid every time I attempt to call.
A few things that may help:
• I'm on the same computer as the original app was built and submitted, however the indesign files (although in exactly the same location) are saved on our server. Could this cause a problem?
• I have used a single edition serial number, so the delete button is greyed out in the DPS app builder app
• All articles are updated and I have tried launching DPS app builder both independently and from the workflow menu in Indesign but keep getting same error message.
I'd be really grateful if somebody could shed some light on the problem. I'm assuming this is a pretty common problem unless I'm doing something wrong / missing something really obvious??
Looking forward to hopefully getting a reply soon.
Many thanks,
Pete

Single Edition - cant create .ipa file

I have a monthly subscription to the creative cloud, which from what I understand allows me to submit an app (create an .ipa file from InDesign for the App Store) withouth having to purchase a single edition serial number for DPS. I have reached the final stage in the DPS App Builder where I should be able to activate my .ipa file to test, but it is asking for a single edition serial number. I don't see anything downloadable from the creative cloud in this regard, and my InDesign was signed into my Adobe account when I exported my folio.
I am aware this is the same problem as described in a previous thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4786587#4786587 and i have tried those steps to remedy it, but nothing works. As soon as i get to the APP builder it asks me for a single edition serial number.
I have so far had nothing but trouble since subscribing to the cloud, with conflicting passwords (with previous dps account), unanswered support issues and other things. Please can someone just help me get past this issue with compiling this app.
For the record I am using InDesign 5.0 (previously owned prior to the cloud subscription), Does this perhaps have a bearing on anything?

I'm having the same problem. This was the first time that I used the Creative Cloud, and I made the mistake of using the wrong Adobe ID in DPS App Builder. I went through all the steps to the end in the wrong account, and now it is asking for a single edition serial number.
I then moved the folio to the right Adobe account, but I can't delete it from the first one, and when I try to "create app" in FB, nothing shows up in the App Builder.
this is a very frustrating experience, and one that I see is common. Why should Adobe staff have to hand-delete the app? Shouldn't I be able to do that?

Updating serial number single edition app?

Hello,
SO I designed an app for a client. They wanted to use single edition. I built the app out and put in the serial number from adobe. After building out the app and testing it we realized we needed to make some changes. SO the changes have been made. Everything is finalized and approved. I went to rebuild the app. I can't, it needs an updated serial number. Ok, not a problem...I asked this question on this forum earlier and was told to contact tech support and they would handle this. They haven't helped at all. They said that the single edition doesn't support updating an app. They said that we need to use the professional edition. Look, I understand why they don't let people constantly update the single edition app. But we haven't even published this app to the Apple store yet. We built a test app and upon realizing we needed to fix a few things, want to just simply update it so we can actually publish it. Everybody we talked to today has nothing to offer in terms of help.
We called the sales phone number. They have no idea what is going on. They don't even know the cost of the professional Edition. We ask them for a page where we can look at pricing. Oh guess what, that page doesn't exist yet. I guess they haven't gotten around to having a page where people can compare pricing options.
The client is getting frustrated and so am I. Can anyone help me contact someone who knows what they are talking about as far as reissuing a serial number for a product that hasn't even been used to publish an app in the app store yet?
And yes, I know that the CC subscribtion makes more sense. I didnt make that call. The client did. He made it based on the non-help of the sales team at Adobe when he decided to make this app. Just looking for a little help from anybody so we can wrap this project up.
I have already suggested the next time that he join the CC. That doesnt help us right now.
Thanks.

Hi 5rockets I've PM you with more details

Updating Single Edition

6 months ago we developed a relatively simple iPad app for a fashion brand, used on iPads throughout the country in their stores. As it is a fashion brand, the content changes seasonally. It was created via InDesign and the Digital Publishing Suite and we require a way to update the app and push the update to the iPads with last seasons content.
The app was developed as a "single edition" and as a result we're aware there's a requirement with an update to the app to purchase another single edition and so on. Accepting this, is it possible to update the existing app as a new version, with an "update available" in the app store on the iPad and replace the old with the new?
And would there need to be new certificates/provision files for the updated version?
Thanks for any help.

Indeed. The first year of CC is only $360 vs the cost of one single edition app. Details on plans here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html
You can test drive it for a month.

Newsstand App with monthly issue and Single Edition

We have an multi-issue app with iTunes subscriptions (retail) in the Newsstand. We are currently publishing monthly editions inside our app.
Recently we also published a retail Special Issue using this multi-issue subscription app so that current subscribers would see this new Special Issue inside the viewer. This we like.
We would now like to publish this same Special Issue as a single-edition app so that new and future users would "see" this inside the App Store.
Can users download these two identical apps, meaning can they purchase this twice? Is there a way to prevent this "double purchase" thru DPS or App Builder or thru iTunes Connect?
Tom

As I understand it, each app is wholly independent with respect to entitlement. That is, you can't use a purchase in one app to determine entitlement inside another. Even so, you're talking about two different kinds of iTunes purchase: in-app versus app.

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 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.

Update existing single edition app

I am trying to update my existing ipad app. I have had single edition for around 5 months. I am experiencing the same problem as BT219 in this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/6138834#6138834. I have deleted the existing folio, made a new one with the same name, and updated the article. I click create new app in the folio builder and it opens the DPS builder. I click on the existing app and click edit. I reload all of the information and download the new developer ipa. I load it to my ipad and it is the old article with updated icons.

No. Just saying it would be way easier to create a new app.
I’ve seen funky stuff like this with test apps. Do you have an iPad that hasn’t had this on it that you can test it on?
