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.

Migrate from Individual to Corporate with apps already in the App Store

Hi,
We're in the process of migrating our account from Individual to Corporate but we already have apps on the App Store. After a few calls to Apple, they still couldn't figure what would happen to our apps already for sale.
I'm sure someone here went through this and could let us know what happens once your account has been upgraded to Corporate.
Do you have to recreate all App IDs, certificates, provisioning? If so, can you still use the old one for the apps that were previously releases while your account was Individual?
My biggest fear is that our apps get "invalidated" and that we have to re-submit them with the new information. What does happen to people that bought our apps? They will stop receiving updates (since the certificates and provisioning will be different)?
Thanks!

Hi ...
The iBooks app comes pre installed on an iPad.
If you can't locate the iBooks app, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
If that didn't help, swipe left of the Home screen. Type iBooks in the search field.

Can you drop iOS 4 support for an app already in the App Store? What iOS version is good to target?

Now that AIR supports the MinimumOSVersion key, apps can set a specific minium version they will support. It wasn't available before, so it ended up in the app store with the default of 4.0.
Any device that AIR supported had to have ARMv7 anyways and I believe all ARMv7 iOS devices can update to at least 5.1.1, so would it be an issue with apple to drop iOS 4 support? Any device that could get the app before can upgrade to iOS 5+ for free to support it.
Only a small portion of people are still running iOS 4, and I get the feeling that most of those are folks with ancient ARMv6 devices that can't upgrade past iOS 4 and could never use the app anyways due to ARMv6. So why bother with testing for iOS 4 and possibly having to give iOS 4 related tech support?
If supporting 5+, is it a good idea to target 5.0 or 5.0.1 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 or what?

Any of the non-user generated resources is in the tmp or Cache folders (which are not backed up) on mine, so that shouldn't be an issue in my case.
I looked at the wiki for iOS 5 and i didn't see any developer-related features other than that 'do not back up' thing that were added between sub-versions of iOS 5, so maybe I should target 5.0?
I'm still wondering, how do you handle dropping older versions of iOS? Surly developers can't be expected to maintain support for discontinued versions of iOS forever just because their app has been around for awhile? Apps eventually need to advance and use new OS features and require performance of current devices. Just set the MinimumOSVersion key to 5.0 or whatever and that's it?

How do I change "artist" on my app already on the app store?

I have an app on the app store (called iStainless) which has incorrect metadata for the "artist" name and web site. It is showing as Outukumpu but should be Outokumpu. I can't find a way to change this metadata from iTunes connect. Any ideas?

I ran across this FAQ today:
Where do I set my company name that displays in the App Store and can I change that information once it is set?
Your company name is set by you when you upload your first app in iTunes Connect. This is part of your default settings and applies to all applications delivered through your account. The company name is also referred to as your artist name because this name displays on the App Store to organize all of your applications onto one product page. This allows App Store customers to view your entire catalog of apps in one location. Your company name should be your legal entity name as contracted with the iPhone Developer Program. Once you enter your company name in iTunes Connect, it cannot be changed at a later date. This is a permanent setting.

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.

Hi - my Mu was "buggy" and would not update - so i threw the APP in the trash - but now CC will not allow me to Re-Install because it thinks i already have the APP - any advice?

restore your app from the trash and then properly uninstall.
if that fails, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

How to alert Folio updated with Single Edition

Hy everybody.
No Push Notification exist in Single Edition process.
So, if I modified one page (for example) in a Folio already published in App Store, I have to uploaded a new .zip of my App to Apple.
How the customers which had already charged the App on their iPad can be alerted about this upgrade ?

When you upload your updated application to Apple and it is approved your readers will see a notice in iTunes that your app updated. They'll have to go and download it.

Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
Please help!
Thanks

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

when the apple review team review our app，they point out that our app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently。but in fact，when the app in background ，the app need data update to make the function of trajectory replay come ture。in fact， we have added function when the app is in background mode。we have point out the point to them by email。but they still have question on the background mode，we are confused，does anyone can help me，i still don't know why do review team can't find the data update when the app is in background and how do i modify the app，or what is the really problem they refered，do i misunderstand them？
the blow is the content of the review team email：
We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.
For more information on these options, please see the "Starting the Significant-Change Location Service" and "Monitoring Shape-Based Regions" sections in the Location Awareness Programming Guide.
If you choose to add features that use the Location Background Mode, please include the following battery use disclaimer in your Application Description:
"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
Additionally, at your earliest opportunity, please review the following question/s and provide as detailed information as you can in response. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review.
We are unable to access the app in use in "http://www.wayding.com/waydingweb/article/12/139". Please provide us a valid demo video to show your app in use.
For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. When the DTS engineer follows up with you, please be ready to provide:
- complete details of your rejection issue(s)
- screenshots
- steps to reproduce the issue(s)
- symbolicated crash logs - if your issue results in a crash log
If you have difficulty reproducing a reported issue, please try testing the workflow as described in <https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1764/>Technical Q&A QA1764: How to reproduce a crash or bug that only App Review or users are seeing.

Unfortunately, these forums here are all user to user; you might try the developer forums or get in touch with the team that you are working with.

Have you restarted your phone?
If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.
