Usage of legal fonts for my future app made with DPS?

Hi, I'm about to produce an app made with Adobe DPS - and wonder about the font issue: what fonts am I allowed to use for my publication? I will sell the app later in AppStore, as a 'magazine-feeling' educational app. Export images and type as pdf in folio.
I know Adobe developed an open source font, the Adobe Source Sans Pro (and later also Adobe Source Serif Pro) - am I allowed to use those fonts in my app - is it ok?
What about the fonts that are included in my InDesign from Adobe? Can I use them in my app too, or?
Does anyone know exactly that is leagal to use? I think this question is difficult to find answers to - help really appreciated
All the best, Christina

Hi to all!
I thought, this whole legal font licensing stuff was a bit more complicated, and I'm glad that I found this thread.
First of all, the list Bob posted says, that "you may embed copies of the font software into your DPS content without any additional license extensions or per-use costs". If I understand it right, this does NOT mean that you can use any of the listed fonts without purchasing a license from Adobe. It only means, that you can use them without any ADDITIONAL license for mobile app usage.
Christina is looking for a free to use font without the need to purchase any license at all, am I right?
On the other hand the FAQs on http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1341590-typekit-font-licensing say, that
"Neither the Typekit sync font license or web font license allows you to embed the fonts within mobile or desktop apps. Currently, this requires the appropriate license to be purchased directly from the foundry or one of their authorized resellers."
In Typekit you can choose if the the desired font should be available for web use and/or for desktop use. It would be nice if there was a third option for mobile app use. This and other facts show me, that digital publishing through Adobe and the usability and accessibility of it's related services is still improvable. Well of course it is and you guys really do a great job!
To make a long story short: I'm still really confused.

  • Change name to an app made with DPS Professional Edition

    Hi all,
    my customer just told me that they are changing the name of their magazines from "Passion Hub" to "Passionhub Megazine", does this change need some procedures or is just an upgrade in AppStore with iTunes Connect?
    The app has been published to the app store already and they do not want to loose the people that have already downloaded the app and folios.
    I apologize for my bad english.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    Best regards.
    Michela

    I see the name change has already occurred. It should only be a case of submitting a new version in iTunes Connect.
    As long as it's using the same App ID, then the customer won't be affected.

  • Am i allowed to publish an app made with the AIR 3.5 SDK in the app-store yet?

    Hello,
    Am i allowed to publish an app made with the AIR 3.5 SDK in the app-store/android market? Im quite confused about this since AIR 3.5 has already been released yet the SDK remains in Beta.
    I know that in the past it was not allowed to publish an App with an Beta-version of an SDK.
    Can anyone clear this up for me?
    Kind regards,

    AIR 3.5 beta removed the watermark, and I actually released an app to the app store with the beta version. I'm not sure if Adobe intends to continue with this for future releases or if it was just for iPhone 5 stuff that needed to be released quickly. AIR 3.5 is currently out of beta though and was actually updated today, so feel free to use it to submit apps to whichever app store you would like.

    Like my title says Can I upload apps made with xcode Interface Builder to the App Store? I'm currently making an app with the interface builder from xcode and I was wondering if I could upload it like that to the App Store.
    Please help me with this.

    Hi seba,
    In order to be able to submit apps to the App Store, you need these things:
    1. An Apple ID
    2. Join the Mac developer program ($99) https://developer.apple.com/programs/mac/
    Once you've got these, you're free to submit your created applications to the App Store. It should walk you through the process

  • Is mp3 licensing required for stand alone apps created with Flash Builder?

    I've been writing some interactive educational software in ActionScript that utilizes Adobe AIR and plays mp3 files to communicate/instruct the user.   I was wondering if I would need to pay mp3 licensing fees based on what I found at mp3licensing.com
    I wrote to the folks at mplicensing.com and got the following question in reply:
    Will the software itself include mp3 decode (playback) capability, or will it be using the decoder provided in Android.  If the software doesn’t include mp3 code itself, but simply includes mp3 files for playback by the hardware device mp3 code, than you would need our content distribution license, not our electronic gaming license.
    If this is true, then it may be that no license is needed at all, since we exempt from the need for our license any entity with mp3 revenues below USD $100,000 per year.
    I responded:
    I am writing this software in ActionScript using Adobe Flash Builder to create a stand alone application that will be bundled with Adobe AIR and use Adobe AIR to run.  AIR supports Android, iOS, PC desktops, and Macs. 
    they replied:
    I am not sure if AIR will play .mp3 files. If it does, and your code does not have mp3 encode or decode functionality, and AIR is simply used to play the content, and your revenues do not exceed USD $100,000 per year, our license is not required.
    My question now is:   Does Adobe AIR use the decoder provided in Android or does it have it's own decoding code?   Are we subject to the licensing fees for games, etc when distributing programs that play MP3 files using Adobe AIR?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    That site helps a little bit, but not totally.  My existing server is Windows 2003 with 5 CALs included, and it works, though not because I understand the head-spinning details of Microsoft licensing.  For example, I have no idea if I am actually
    using the CALs, since the only thing ever done on that server (aside from web, email, and FTP) is me logging in by RDP to administer it.
    I never considered 2008 Web edition because I might want to install something like the Access GUI, and the Web edition seems to forbid that.  It was not clear if you could install third-party ftp server or mail server also.  Web edition was a mysterious
    product and is not my reference point.
    It would be nice if Essentials could run a web server, since it's cheaper and simpler in terms of licensing.  But nowhere is that stated yea or nay.
    If I buy 2012 standard, do I need to spring for 5 CALs also?  I need to administer by RDP, and have the other server drop backups onto the disk of the new one.

  • Any WP apps made with Cordova/PhoneGap?

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but are there any WP apps out there made with Cordova/PhoneGap? I'd love to see how well they work in IE's rendering engine. At the moment, I'm concerned about performance issues with scrolling, events, animations,
    etc.

    I can't find any sample apps there other than the ToDoList app. I was hoping to see a more comprehensive list.

  • Replacing an existing app not made with DPS?

    I have an app on itunes right now that was not developed with DPS. Can I use my rebuilt app in DPS as a rivision? How do I replace it?

    Yes you should be able to create a new verison in Itunes Connect.
    + you need to use the same bundle ID for the new build to be considered an update.
    See page 66 of http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ppcompdoc/Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf
    When you revise your app, use the same App ID and distribution provisioning profile to
    create the new custom viewer. If you updated the folio, select the folio and choose Create App
    from the Folio Builder panel menu. Create a new app version (you can delete the previous instance
    of the app in DPS App Builder). If you use mobileprovision files based on the same App
    ID as the previous version, Apple will recognize the rebuilt app as the same app. Download
    and test the development file.
    In iTunes Connect, click Manage Your Applications, click the app you want to update, and then
    click Add Version. Follow the prompts, and then use Application Loader to upload the .zip file.

  • App made with App Builder V32.1 on iOS 8 doesn't install on iPad

    Hi,
    I got a problem with an App with subscription made with App Builder V32.1 on iOS 8.
    The process was ok, no error message, i download the .ipa and then I upload on my iPad using iTunes. I have synchronized everything and then I saw my App on the device but the icon is darker and there is a text under the icon that report the App is still under installation.
    Any idea?

    Hi Neil,
    I appreciate your answer but unfortunately you are wrong, at least for my case  :-)
    I delete the old mobileprovision files, I made a new App ID and associate with the devices and then I built new mobileprovision files... and it still doesn't work.
    After a day spent to try to understand the problem, I solved making a new couple of certificates and then it works.
    I don't know why, the "old" certificates are used in other Apps and they are still valid.
    This solution works but now I have to verify if is it possible to update the oldest App with a new one made with another certificate. The Apple Developer credentials are the same but there is not documentation about this issue.
    Ciao,

  • Using accelerator keys for loading a appliaction made with J2ME

    Hi
    Is there any methods to use accelerator keys to load a application made with J2ME for mobile telephones. The application is not running and i must find a way to load the application using keys codes.
    How can i accomplish this? can i use the application manager and the jad file? i know that i can use PushRegistry for incomming connections to load the application automaticaly. But i need a way to accomplish this by using the key events on a mobile phone when the application is closed.

  • For an app made with Single Edition, is the video stored in the cloud?

    Just looking into using Single Edition and wondering where interactive assests for the app are stored.  Are they all stored in the cloud, or do I have to provide a storage location?
    Thanks for any help!

    Everything is store in the app unless you elect to use web based
    overlays such as streaming video.

  • No dock icon for app made with Automator

    No section on here for Automator?
    I've made an app with Automator. It runs OK and has the same icon as Automator when saved to the Applications folder but when I run it, no icon appears in the dock. Is that normal or have I missed something? There's a rotating cog in the menu bar to show that the app is running (so I can stop it from there) and I can see its actions taking place but I was expecting a dock icon like all other apps.

    macfan7 wrote:
    baltwo - I'd already left it on the dock but there's no "indicator light" to show it's running and no "quit" on the dock menu. It's no problem it's just not standard app behaviour.
    Interesting, since AppleScript apps do show the indicator light.

  • Best practice for handling custom apps tracks with regards to EP upgrade?

    Hi,
    We've are currently in the progress of upgrading from EP 6 to EP 7.0, and in that context we need to "move" our tracks containg development of custom J2EE components.
    What we've done so far is :
    1.Create a new version 7.00 of each software component we have developed with correct EP 7 dependencies
    2. Create a new version 7.00 of our product in the SLD: Bouvet_EP
    3. Attached the new versions of the SCs to the new product version
    4. Create a new track with the SC of version 7.00 along with relevant dependencies
    My question now is how do we get the EP 6 component source code into the new track, so that we can change dependecies of the DCs and build it again for EP 7.0?
    Should we somehow export the code from the old track, check in and transport ? (how do we then export the code from the track)
    Regards
    Dagfinn

    Hi Dagfinn,
    This is a really interesting thread. I have not encountered this scenario till now. However i can only guess.
    1. Copy the latest sca files generated for all the SC's in your track from one of the subdirectories of JTrans and place those sca files in the inbox directory of target CMS. Check if these sca are available in the Check-in tab. I think this will not work because the SC verion you have defined in SLD for WAS 7.0 is different than the one in SLD for WAS 6.40.
    2. Second and crude method may be you create a SC in the source SLD similar to ones created in target SLD. Create a track for these SC's in the source system. Then create a track connection between the newly created track and existing tracks. Forward all the sources to the target track. Then assemble this SC and copy the sca file and repeat the process above.
    I dont know. Possibly this may click. Notes 877029 & 790922 also give some hints on migration of JDI server.
    Please do keep this thread updated with your progress.
    Regards

  • How can I sign an app made with PhoneGap Build?

    HI,
    I have set up the PhoneGap Build service and created an account so I can make an app and upload it to my mobile phone.
    Now I have reached the point where I would like to sign it and upload it to Google Play.
    I have a developer account and I have filled in all data, made screenshots and icons and description for the app etc.
    When I try to upload it to Google play it says "Upload failed..." and that I need to disable debugging.
    I have tried to find information about how to do this and I have installed the SDK packet and even successfully set up the path in the Settings for PhoneGap Build without any protests..
    Now what?
    I have read trhe documentation on how to make a private key with keytool using the cmd in windows an the key has been uploaded to my account on the phonegap build site.
    Now according to the doc in phonegap build this key should be used signing the app that I made in dreamweaver. So I recreated the app in Dreamweaver and downloaded it and then tried to upload it on Google Play.
    Still the same problem that the app is in debug mode. This means that phone gap build is not doing it's job as it should or maybe that my key is not working.
    So my question first is, how can I see if the key is properly generated with keytool?
    My next step is to manually sign the app.apk file with the jarsigner tool so I tried to do this accordingly to the sample in the android documentation.
    This a screenshot of my attempt and the error-message in the command line:
    It feels like I have done everything by the book but still my app is not signed and not valid to upload to Google Play for public download.
    Please give me some assistance in how to create this last little but so hard step.
    Thanks!

    I got it solved...
    If anyone else has done the same mistake as I did then have a look here.
    You just have to create the key with keytool using the command line (cmd.exe)
    Here is the guide how to do it (scroll down to "1. Obtain a suitable private key")
    Use the example, it works fine.
    Then upload it to your PhoneGap Build account by logging in to build.phonegap.com
    Then under your account settings upload the yourkey.keystore file and unlock it.
    Then under Apps click your uploaded App title to come into the details of the app.
    Then (and this is what I missed and therefore didn't get it signed and released) choose the key you uploaded from the fold down menu at the right hanbd of the android logo
    Then click Rebuild and when it's done rebuilding you simply download it and it will have a YourApp-release added to the file name and you're set!
    Pheeeww this was a horrifying experience and yet so simple solution... strange noone else has experienced this before me.
    At the end I have to really salute Dreamweaver who has made such a great tool to easily make your own apps.
