Unlimited apps vs single/multi folios

hi,
i'm currently a Adobe's creative cloud subscripter. i'm happy adobe gives out a free single edition to
CC subscripters. what adobe says is you can create unlimited apps. When i went to adobe's site to find
out the different between single editions and other editons. Sinlge editon only let you create sinlge folio.
if i finally create my app and sign up apple developer a/c, am i only allowed to upload 1 app?
or, i can create as many app i want and upload to apple's iTunes.
If that's the case, what's the difference between single and multi folios?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it possible to make this a newstand app? If we have an apple enterprise account, can we make your own newstand app/viewer and load the single editions(.ipa files) as articles into this custom enterprise newstand app?
It will be nice if we are be able to organize free inhouse single edition apps into newstand.
Thanks

Creating a Multi Folio App from InDesign?

Hi all --
Situation is that I have a login for an Enterprise/Pro account and I can see that all of the other apps are Multi Folio. However, when I hit Create App, it gets added no problem but its a Single-Edition.
I was told that if I want to push updates that happen instantly, it has to be a multi folio app and that single editions apps need to be completely resubmitted and it can take another 2 weeks before it's updated.
How do I create or CHANGE this single edition app to a multi folio so I can push updates to it that happen quickly?
If I hit "NEW" in the DPS App Builder and select multi folio, how does it know what my app files are?
Thanks!

I am pretty certain we do because when I go to the app builder, I can can see multiple apps that are live including muli-folio ones. We were just given a login to this account that falls under this umbrella.
So, once I have added the app and published it, via the Folio Producer online, what would do I do next to get the .ipa and .zip I need? Would I use the DPS App Builder, create new, and make sure that the email/app ID is the same login as the Folio Producer one and it will just recognize it?

DPS Pro account and a multi-folio app distribution + analytics

Okay, here is the thing again.
I have talked to my client and explained him about how complex it is to track each individual (out of 30) who views a folio.
So now, he basically would be happy just to know the overall time, of how long a folio has been viewed, and also to see, which articles have been viewed the most and for how long.
I believe, analytics can provide this data without any problems, am I right? The question is, can this be seen with baseline analytics or I would need SiteCatalyst for this?
If I understand correctly, getting a Pro account would give me the possibility to create a single multi-folio app, which could contain many folios inside. I could delete and add them without the need to wait for some approvals from Apple?
But the main question is, how can I distribute this multi-folio app to specific people? Can it be sent via some link or something? Because this app is not for public use.

You need an enterprise account for private distribution.
You could fake all this by using the Adobe Content Viewer and putting a web overlay on each page with a link back to a hidden web page with google analytics. That would give you very basic idea of what's being looked at assuming each user is on line. Beyond that you have to use enterprise.

Migrate a Single Edition over to a Multi-folio with subscriptions?

We have a Pro account.
We want to produce a free Single Edition app and then migrate this over to a retail multi-folio with subscriptions later on. Can this be done?
Basically, we are not ready to offer multi-folio with subscriptions today, but would like to get an App out into iTunes so that we can hold a piece of real estate in a specific category as well as have an App name that someone else cannot use.
thanks in advance.

Yes, you can switch from a single-folio app to a multi-folio app with subscriptions. In DPS App Builder, you'll need to create a new version of the app. (When you edit an app in DPS App Builder, you cannot change the viewer type.) If you specify mobileprovision files based on the same App ID used with the single-folio app, Apple will recognize the new version as an update to the existing app.
With a multi-folio subscription app, you'll need to submit in-app purchases to Apple. When you do so, you'll need to submit a new version of the app at the same time.

Multi-folio iPhone Screen Shots for itunesconnect..

Hello everyone,
I am getting ready to replace my SE app with a Multi-Folio app, for the iPhone do I need to add screen shots for each device, 4.7", 5.5", 4" and 3.5"? Thanks.

Yes, in iTunes Connect you need to upload the required screen shots. In App Builder, you need to specify additional app icons and splash images. See this page for App Builder requirements: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Checklists for custom viewer apps

Upgrading to Multi Folio with Entitlement

I'm upgrading a multi-folio app to a multi-folio app with entitlement. If I delete the multi-folio app in DPS app builder, will that affect my publications in anyway (e.g. stop the distribution)?

Nope. You may have to contact product support and ask them to adjust the version number of the new app so it is a higher version number than your previous app in the store, so it will upload correctly for distribution.

Switching from multi-folio to single edition app

I've recently had to cancel my subscription to the DPS Professional Edition in which I published an multi-folio (iPad & iPhone) app to iTunes.
Now I'd like to resubmit the app as a single edition app with my Creative Cloud subscription (which will be iPad only).
I get the following error message when submitting the app with Application Loader:
ERROR ITMS-9000: “This bundle is invalid. The key UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in the Info.plis may not contain values that would prevent this application from running on devices that were supported by previous versions. Refer to QA1623 for additional information: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa#1623/_index.html” at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage)
ERROR ITMS-9000: “This bundle does not support one or more of the devices supported by the previous app version. Your app update must continue to support all devices previously supported. You declare supported devices in Xcode with the Targeted Device Family build setting. Refer to QA1623 for additional information: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa#1623/_index.html” at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage)
error: xcode-select: note no developer tools were found at ‘/Applications/Xcode.app’, requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.
And a pop up box asking if I want to install Xcode:
The “lipo” command requires the command line developer tools. Would you like to install the tools now? Choose install to continue. Choose get Xcode to install Xcode and the command line developer tools from the app store.
Is there a work-around for this - besides installing Xcode and trying to figure out the targeted device settings?
Or do I have to start over and apply for a brand new app in iTunes Developer, etc.?
Thanks!

This probably isn't about features in the app. Support for Newsstand can be removed and Apple will approve the modified app. Same goes for removal of other features.
The error description from Apple is pretty clear... you have stopped supporting a device. There are only 2 devices: iPhone and iPad. If your app supports both iPad and iPhone then switching to single-issue will remove support for iPhone (as only DPS Pro and Enterprise includes support for iPhone). This is why Apple won't approve the app.

How to migrate single folio app into multi folio app when each were created w/ different adobe id

I have a single folio app in iTunes that was created using adobe ID "A". I also have a multi folio app in iTunes that was created using adboe ID "B". How do I migrate the single folio app into the new multi folio app, ensuring that apple sees it as an update so users of the single folio app are notified of an update. Both apps were published using the same apple distribution id. Step-by-step help would be greately appreciated.

In your case, I would create a multi-folio version of the app and then use iTunes Connect to submit it as an update to the previous version of the app. When users update the app, they'll lose the folio that was previously baked into the app, but they can download that folio—and others—from the library of the new version. You'll want to make those folios available in Adobe ID 'B', which should be the Title ID you use when you build the app. I think all you need to do for your existing customers is describe the change to the app in the update description in iTunes Connect.

If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?

I work for a organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad and want to continue this through 2015.
At the moment we can only create apps for the iPad platform. If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We do not need multi-folio apps as we are not a publishing company.

Thanks Neil
I sent an email yesterday and am awaiting a reply. Here is my email for reference.

I work for a large organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad through Indesign and the App builder. We now want to produce apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We are not a publishing company so we will produce a small number of the apps. If you could get back to me with a solution and approx price that would be great.
Thanks for your time

Do all folios in a multi folio app need to be related?

I am working on an idea with my company to produce book apps for one of our publishing branches. We want to offer interactive book apps which have more interactivity than an ebook or epub3 would have, but would have too little interactivity to pass Apple and Google's "single app" review process.
The work around we are brainstorming is to create a multi-folio app for the publishing house and then create the book apps within it. I am wondering if this can be done and would be approved by the review process? The book apps would be independent publications (unlike magazine issues which share common design and featured content).
I was told a few times at PePcon 2014 that while Apple has a high rate of rejecting single folio book apps which are too "text heavy" they are more lenient with multi-folio apps during the approval process.
Cheers,
Sam Carbaugh

Hi Sam,
other users will have more experience in submitting Apps and the entire approval process from Apple, but I believe you need to stick to the category you choose when creating the App in iTunes Connect (see definitions).
While that might go through a first time with a couple of publications, I wonder what would happen in the long run if you had to submit an App update with your library clearly showing much more content outside of the chosen category.
Hope that makes sense .. you may want to engage with Apple on this one to see if some categories might suit your needs better than others.

Multi Folio App for Educative Institution

Hello,
We are an educative institution and have an internal magazine which we view in iPad with Adobe Content Viewer.
Now we want to publish to App store and we already have the Apple Dev Account, and all Certificates and Assets ready too.
My question is: ¿What is the simplest, and, well, cheapest way to publish our multi folio app?
I see that with a Creative Cloud Account you get the DPS but only single edition. Do we have to purchase the DPS Pro Edition in order to publish Multi Folio App or is there another way?
We also have the CS5.5 license for education. Are there any special offers for Educative Intitutions?
Thank you so much
Eduardo Flores

You can purchase DPS Professional Account either Monthly or Annual to create Multi Issue Apps. I do not think that there are any offers for DPS Pro edition.

Will a complete Creative Cloud version allow me to make multi folio apps?

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can clear something up for me please? I subscribed to the complete creative cloud package over the phone earlier, and checked with the person I spoke to that I could make multi folio apps with it. I'm putting together a magazine, so need to sell subscriptions and want to have all of my issues grouped together. I explained all of this and the woman I spoke to said I would be able to make multi folios, and that the complete creative cloud subscription would be the best one for me to get.
However, now I'm subscribed to it, I don't seem to be able to do create multi folios. Only single folios are available.
So I'm just checking whether I've been misinformed? Do I need to subscribe to the Professional Edition so my magazine can have subscriptions? Only that's £347 a month, versus £70 for the complete creative cloud subscription.
Also, if I do need Professional Edition, do I have to commit for a whole year with the subscription or can I subscribe month to month?
Thanks, I really appreciate any help anybody has for me
Vincent

No, you can only create Single Edition applications with your Creative Cloud subscription. If you want to build and submit a multi-folio application you'll have to sign up for either a Professional or Enterprise account.
I believe you can sign up for the Professional edition on a month-to-month basis.

What is the fee charged to the Digital Publishing Suite account owner, when folios are downloaded within a multi-folio published app?

I am trying to determine for my client if we should use a single or multi folio platform to build an app for the business. content wise, we would be able to accommodate both types, but i am more concerned about the cost. I've researched and discovered the following:
"Each time a user downloads a folio (makes an in-app “purchase” of free or retail content), a download fee is charged to the owner of the Digital Publishing Suite account."
What is the cost of this fee? and how is it charged to the account?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

What page did you find that line on? We no longer charge download fees per folio for customers who sign new (or renew) contracts.

DPS Single Suite or Multi Folio?

I have a website with new content added 24/7. I want an app where I can add new content to 24/7 as well. Same as the website. I understand the multi folio includes Android, etc..
My question is does the Single Suite DPS Edition in Creative Cloud allow me to add new content whenever I want? Do I need to rebuild the app everytime I add a new story? Or can I write a new story & simply add. And if so, how do I do this?

Multi-folio is the way to go for this if you want to use DPS.
You can publish a folio and then add as many articles as you like by uploading through folio builder then updating the app in the DPS dashboard. It's then down to push notifications to alert your readers to new content.
Having said that, DPS isn't a very good platform for this kind of thing. If you're planning on having more of a daily/hourly news style app, I would have thought that a bespoke app using RSS feeds or CMS to add new content would be the way to go.
In my opinion, the lack of ability to do this effectively in DPS is a major flaw for Adobes platform (unless you're looking at an Enterprise licence, which obviously comes at a premium). Web overlays are a poor alternative.

Multi-folio App... What does Apple check??

Hello All,
I've been developing SE apps for quite sometime now with great success. My client now wants a Multi-Folio Free app, my question is, does apple just check the container of the app or do they also download the folio and check that as well? Thanks.

First of all you'll need a pro or enterprise account for that.
As for Apple, they will check that the app functions properly and will check
to make sure you have content available. They do have standards so there
will be a check but it will not be as stringent as it is for single edition
as far as required interactivity.
