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.

How to migrate a single edition app, to a Pro account?

Hello
A customer has an application uploaded to the Store, and has now acquired a pro and want to migrate that application to the new qiosco.
At transladar entire publication to the new account Multi-folio, I have to add or Add New App version in the application that already existed?
thank you very much

Yes, if the certificates are still valid then you can re-use them. Create new new build in Viewer builder and send in the update. you may want to edit the metadata in i-Tunes before uploading the new binary. In multi issue apps, there can be multiple product id's. Each folio will have it's unique product id. Bundle id/App id would remain the same.

Can you create a single edition app with CC Enterprise?

My company have Creative Cloud Enterprise edition and I would like to create a simple single edition app. It's going to be a one off free app and I have no requirement for all the bells and whistles that Enterprise offers plus with it being free it would cost me because of the $0.30 per download fee. Does anyone know if this can be done or am I going to have to start looking at alternatives?

You could sign up for the full version of Creative Cloud which will enable you to build a Single Edition app before that support is removed from Creative Cloud on May 1st. You'd create a new app in InDesign using the Create App menu item in Folio Builder Panel. After you create the app and submit it you could then cancel your Creative Cloud subscription.
Note that you would need to get support to help you set the version number of your new app high enough to replace your existing app in iTunes. If you plan to go the CC route let me know and I can assist in making sure the version number is updated on your app appropriately.

Updating a Single Edition app already on the App Store

If a DPS Single Edition app is submitted to the Apple app store, can it be updated every couple months with new content or will Apple restrict that? For those users who have already downloaded the DPS Single Edition app, will those users automatically get a notification that a new version of the app is available at the App store? Basically, I have a client who woud like to create a Single Edition publication app with DPS but they want to roll it out with one article at a time and continue to add to the same app/folio. The folio/app may get some additional changes to the cover and TOC. Is that all possible? and will users be notified when the new app is available?

Thanks. There's a lot of work that goes into one of these things. It's
not something you can just throw together.
Apple reviews them pretty carefully. It is always best to spell out that
you cannot be held responsible for a rejection of an app by Apple, but
at the same time, you need to educate yourself and your client on what
is and isn't acceptable.
There is a gray area and I've seen some pretty nice apps rejected, but
often they will be approved on an appeal.

Updating your Single Edition App

I need to update my single edition folio. It was my understanding when I built it, that I would be able to submit an update later on in the year. However, I'm told now that I need to convert it over to a multi-edition folio. I can do that, however I'm worried about losing my current subscribers.
Has anyone found a way around this?
Thanks!

You wouldn't lose your current subscribers when you update from a single-folio app to a multi-folio app as long as you use the same mobileprovision files when re-building the app and submit it as an update in iTunes Connect. You cannot send push notifications for single-folio apps. However, your users will be notified in App Store that a new version of the app is available.
Uploading as a multi-folio app requires a Professional or Enterprise DPS account. If you discontinue your DPS subscription, your users will no longer be able to download content in your app.

Single folio app with DPS PRO

I have a dps Pro account.
I would like to create a single folio app for iOS( iPad-iphone) and android devices that it will be free of charge.
i know that single folio app can be created for iOS and in that case there is charge for folio fulfillment.Is that correct?
For android version can i create a single folio app?As i have see i think that this is not possible.Is that correct?In that case is there anything else that i could do?For example if i create a multi folio app and i upload only one folio will this work?In that case does the charge for folio fulfillment exist?

Single edition apps are iPad only and do not incur a download charge. For Android you need to create a multifolio app even if it will contain only a single folio.

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?

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 app

I need to update a single edition app. Do I need to recreate mobileprovision files?

You need to rebuild your app again in DPS App Builder, create new version on iTunes Connect and then submit new version of app to iTunes Connect.

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.

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.

Single Edition Licence with Creative Cloud

Do you have to subscribe to the full version (all apps) of creative cloud to be able to publish single edition apps with DPS? Or will a single app subscription to InDesign allow you to publish unlimited SE apps too?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Himanshu, that is a great help.
So can I just clarify. I can publish unlimited different apps from different folio files to the app store as a cc member.
I got confused with the below comment i found on Adobe's site:
Adobe via email that will allow you to submit one single-.folio file to Apple's iTunes App Store for publication.

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...

Updating Single Edition app after May 1

I have an existing Single Edition app in the app store that is in use by thousands of students across the country. I know that Adobe is dropping support for Single Edition Apps. If I recreate my app using a different publishing platform (Twixl, mag+, etc) will I be able to update my existing app or will I have to submit it as a new one?
If I can’t update the existing app with a new publishing platform, existing users will be forced to purchase the new same app again.

Thank you Bob for all your help in the forum over two years while I completed my app. So sad it had to end like this. Hopefully the governor will call before May 1 and give a stay of execution and save me and a bunch of us. Have a great day, -Dan

Is the single edition app that comes with creative cloud just for apple publishing or can I publish on both apple and android?

Is the single edition app that comes with creative cloud just for apple publishing or can I publish on both apple and android? I'm only seeing information on apple intergration.

You’ll need either a Pro or Enterprise account. And you will have to publish any non-iPad app as multi folio. Single edition, regardless of your plan, is iPad only.
