Viewer Builder 1.9.0 Problem

Hi,
we are producing our first single issue publication and have successfully produced and tested a developer viewer (ipa) using viewer builder 1.9.0.
We are now ready to produce the distribution viewer (zip) to send to Apple but we are having issues (we have tried this on a couple of macs).
The process taken is exactly the same as we did for the developer viewer in that we specify in the popup box our p12 dist certificate and its password then our dist mobile provision.
This all seems ok but when we click 'download and sign' nothing happens except for the distribution certificate field in the popup window now has a red border. There is no error message.
We have tried to remake the certificate but this did not work.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks

Yes, it sounds like this is not the right certificate. you should be able to rebuild that.
if the error is on the distribution mobileprovision, you need to make sure that you made this provisioning file for the app you are exporting (in the provisioning portal at apple).

  • Problems in Viewer Builder with Production Push Security Certificate

    Help! I've been trying for days now to build my iPad app in Viewer Builder, but I get an error message for my Production APNS Push Certificate and I can't get past the provisioning page. I've been on a dozen calls with Adobe, and we haven't yet been able to solve the problem.
    In the last round of tech support, I emailed my aps_production.cer and my .p12 version to Adobe. They say that it's valid and that it works on their end. I was advised to uninstall my Folio Producer tools and Viewer Builder. I did this, redownloaded and reinstalled everything and got stuck in the exact same spot.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and been able to solve it please let me know. I'm at my wits end with this one!

    I've been running into this same problem for DAYS now with an app I'm trying to build, except for me it's the production PNS p12 certificate.
    I've tried creating a new app several (countless, actually) times. Since I never get to the point where I can save it, I've had to create a totally new app at every attempt—is this what happened to you? And it eventually worked?
    I've also installed and uninstalled Viewer Builder a few times now and the same problem occurs.
    BTW, I send my certificate to Adobe and they said that it was valid.

  • How the iTunes Subscription (Viewer Builder 1.5.1 with Professional Edition account) works?

    We're looking for some information appropriate for our purpose, about iTunes subscription on DPS viewer.
    Please look at questions below.
    Q1. What does the "subscribe" button mean at the library screen? If we set a subscription product with one month duration and then our customers purchase for this, can they download all the folios at the library for one month?
    Q2. Why an addiotional "subscribe" button appears on below of the latest folio's "purchase/download" button? Is there any specific reason?
    Q3. We set everything for an iTunes Subscription viewer with 1 month subscription product both on the Viewer Builder 1.5.1 & iTunes connect in-app purchase manager. And we're now testing the developer version's functionality with an iTunes connect test user account. But when we click on the "subscribe" button and follow all the process, the result is nothing different that each folio, independently set as in-app product, is still showing "purchase" button, not "download". Do we misunderstand the function of iTunes Subscription on DPS viewer?
    Thank you.

    Did you try if it actually charges you again ? Maybe it's the same problem like the one users have with already purchased songs, apps, folio's, etc. Upon buying it once again (after removal from the device), the store prompts something like "You've already bought it" ("Yeah I know, me stupid", I always hear my inner voice say) "Would you like to download it again?" ("Of course, why else should I bother, you stupid?") So maybe it's just the wording that might throw you off. Just like I don't like the "Achive" button next to folio's, that actually means (and should say) "Remove" ("Remove from this device, but retain your license"), just like the red-dotted x does with apps. Hey, why not show a red-dotted x ?

  • No Folio File field in Viewer Builder?

    For some reason I do not have a field to associate a folio file to a viewer in the Viewer Builder. This greatly impairs the user experience.
    I'm using Indesign 5.5, have downloaded the most recent updates from the DPS site and have cleared the cache of my browser. I've also released an app in pre-release but this is the first one in the new interface.
    The documentation in the DPS help section references the Folio File field in the Basic Settings panel of Viewer Builder but I've navigated through the Viewer Builder and see no place to actually designate the folio to be built into the viewer. What am I missing?
    I can see where folios published to the account will automatically populate the viewer and from a developer standpoint maybe there isn't a need to associate a specific file to build and release the viewer itself, but the app for this viewer (that was successfully built in the DPS VB with confirmation as completed) was rejected by Apple because from their point of view it's an app with no content (no actual folio files for an end user to look at.)
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Bob.
    Yes, multi-folio viewer is what I need for a series of digital magazines. Sorry, in pre-release the multi-folio viewer was built and pointed to a folio file as with a single viewer. The new release is fantastic, I'm not nostalgic. Just trying to troubleshoot.
    After your post I assumed then that the viewer must automatically read what's been published and auto-populate the viewer. The problem was that I wasn't seeing the folio in the viewer on my ipad (loaded with iPhone Config Utility) but was seeing it through the generic Adobe Viewer. I checked certificates, settings, etc. in the viewer and everything checked out fine. I then went through publishing options.
    What I found was that when the folio is set to free, it is viewable in the custom viewer we've created. When it is set to retail (we are planning on selling this issue) it is not. Has anyone else experienced this? Have I configured soemthing wrong? I re-checked documentation and don't see any additional settings needed for retail release. Is the viewer expecting some additional info from the App Store to process the display icon of the folio for purchase?

  • Viewer Builder v1.5.1 Bugs

    When I build an enterprise app with the Viewer Builder 1.5.1 (v15 viewer) I encounter these two problems:
    Hide Navigation Toolbar
    — in every view but Folio View
    does not work, the bottom buttons appear even when I view a folio
    When I add custom HTML in my own toolbar buttons, I disable "Show Navigation Controls", but they appear in every view, strangely there is an "sign out" button that appears with no function (see screenshot below)
    Viewer Version 2.0.0.24.32168

    but ... another problem:
    Custom HTML for the toolbar are not allowed to contain subfolders.
    Viewer Builder warns me if my zip file contains more than one HTML file but not if it contains subfolder.
    I build an instructional site in Adobe Edge, exported for use in the enterprise viewer, but have to search-and-replace the Edge output to make it conform.

  • Minor error in Viewer Builder pop-up info

    Hi,
    I noticed a minor error in the Viewer Builder pop-up information. When you create a viewer for the iPad and choose "multi issue with iTunes subscription", you get to complete the Newsstand information. The iPad 1 & 2 Landscape Subscription Tile info popup states that the PNG graphic must be 468x135, but in fact this should be 463x135 (see help file PDF). It's not a big deal, but it can be confusing for some users I think.
    Can someone please confirm this?
    Cheers,
    Bart

    I'm able to get out this problem.
    I'd one month old installation of designer and workbench. During  generating formguide, this set up created mxml with following component for Optional paragraph:
    Then I uninstalled the workbench and designer and installed latest 8.2.1_GM version of those and run the formguide again. This time, the produced mxml has the following entry
    (Notice the difference from cm.* to cm.controls.*)
    As I guess (just a guess),I think earlier it searched CmOptionalParagraph in cm root
    (it gave error that referenced component cm.CmOptionalParagraph  not found as it was in cm.controls location.)
    Now it is able to find that as it searches correct location.

  • Viewer Builder signing failure for distribution viewer

    I'm having the following problem:
    I"m able to download the developer ipa from Viewer Builder with no problems, but when I try to download the distribution build, I get a VB error, "signing failure."
    this indicates to me that there is a problem perhaps with my p12 and mobile provisioning profile, but I've done all that correctly, as far as I know, and tried multiple times to reproduce from Apple's provisioning portal, but nothing works.
    is anyone else having this problem?

    Yes, I've been having this issue since last Friday. But, my ipa isn't working either....

  • Error in Viewer Builder importing PNS p12 Development Certificate

    I am getting an error in the Viewer Builder importing the PNS P12 Development Certificate.
    I have already made the certificate for PNS Production/Distribution and for Development.
    I was successfully able to import the PNS p12 Production/Distribution Certificate.
    When I went to the next field to import the certificate for PNS Development - error says "Not finding expected label 'Apple Development IOS Push Services:' or 'Apple Development Push Services:' in this certificate"
    I followed the same process for both PNS Distribution and Development Certificates.
    Why would one work and one not? The Viewer Builder gives very little feedback?

    I've been running into this same problem for DAYS now with an app I'm trying to build, except for me it's the production PNS p12 certificate.

  • Viewer Builder 2.0 not available?

    Hi,
    is there a problem with the Viewer Builder 2.0. Viewer Builder 1.9 is only available. This morning VB 2.0 was posted as download.
    Thanks
    Yves

    @Yves – and be aware of a new introduced bug affecting the "afc.db" file.
    See:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4376646#4376646
    Building all folios anew would be wise using your sidecar.xml files.
    Hopefully you have a sidecar.xml file for every folio.

  • Dreamweaver 2014.1 Build 6947 (Mac) - save problem

    I updated to latest version yesterday and now have a problem when I save files which shouldn't happen on a 2012iMac saving to a thunderbolt drive - and didn't happen before updating.
    When I save a file i get to watch the (very pretty but boring) spinning top for a longtime. If the 'Force Quit' window is open it shows Dreamweaver 'not responding'. Mostly but not always Dreamweaver decides to respond again.
    Same site, same settings, same HDD as before the update.
    IMac: 3.4GHz i7 32GB RAM
    OS X: 10.9.5
    What have you broke?

    Hi Nancy,
    It seems it's a bug, so I will go back to the previous vetsion. Thanks for

  • About Viewer Builder [1.3] ?

    hi all i just want ask about Viewer Builder , is that for money ??? i mean the program for only who pay to adobe or for any one to use ?and if its for free any V for windows ?? ,
    the second thing is that i  use indesign cs5.5 with DBS tools but  when  i make my folio with many articles i cant resort the articles , that make me crazy ??
    the last thing i want ask about it how i make a thumbnail for my foilo on the adobe digital publishing ??

    Hello
    I want to make sure I understand:
    - Clearly Builder 1.5 doesnt change for the version generated for IPAD (still the 1.4 version in fact) =>  so problems remain unresolved (folio charge still invisible, just tested, and probably many other)
    - A solution was found for android which has the viewer in 1.5 witch is seen to work (testing yet in progress  for us)
    I understant better now the board or not to update production tools as Adobe Viewer is not validated and available on the app-store ..
    If this is the case it's just a trick to give us a bone, and reduce the discontent on the forum ...
    If i'm right this is just "incredible" .....from a firm like adobe

  • Uploading with viewer builder v11

    Is it still possible to upload folio files with viewer builder v11?
    I know, it's prerelease, but for various reasons we have to use this workaround.
    Today we are getting messages saying "communication with server failed".

    @Matthew Laun
    There is one information missing in this conversation: we of course immediatelly built a new app version and uploaded it to Apple.
    We still desperately want to publish our issue as soon as possible, old or new app.
    I cannot believe that our distribution push notification certificate is invalid. If that were the case, I wouldn't have been able to build a new version of the app on wednesday. I also wouldn't have been able to upload it to Apple. That said, i don't believe any of our certificates are invalid.
    If there is a misunderstanding, please explain.
    On the other hand, there seems to be a misunderstanding about the "please update your app"-topic. I know what the message means and I know why and when it is shown. As you can read above, the problem was, that the message didn't show up anymore.
    It doesn't matter any more (maybe it had to do with us changing the product ID back and forth; only thing that comes to mind). We installed the app again and now the "plaese update your app"-message shows again. Which is what we wanted, rather than showing a sandbox-purchase-box.
    And last, i noticed you marked your own answer as "correct answer" again.
    Allow me to note that I am still not convinced. It simply doesn't work.
    And i hope you understand the frustration on our side as this is a highly serious problem for us. We are three days behind publication date and losing trust of our readership.

  • SIGNING FAILURE (Viewer Builder)

    We are trying to generate the Distribution Viewer (.zip) from the Viewer Builder and are running into an issue.  This happens at the end of the export process when the link for the .zip is clicked. The developer version (.ipa) works fine.
    I have gone back to the Apple Developer Center and revoked all certificates and created them from scratch, along with new mobileprovision files and private key (p12). The error continues to persist.
    Is there any information you can give us on what may be causing the Signing to fail on the Distribution file?

    iIs there anymore updates on this? I'm having the same problem. I get a signing error when i try to get the ipa and zip. It worked the first time but i had to chnge one thing and have never been able to get past the signing error at the end again.
    I've went through every step multiple times, revoked all certificates and provisions, cleared out the keychain and basically re-did the whole process more times than i can count. Everything matches up as far as i can see but I still get the signing error which is in no way specific to what exactly is wrong with the p12 files. I do other apple development on the same machine and dont have problems publishing.
    So as theres no support system and the company have already paid for a single lisense which at the minute is used on an app we cant access does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

  • Viewer Builder shared through accounts?

    I work in an environment with one parent company that produces several publications. The company has a DPS account and when it was set up, unique log-ins were created for each publication. This works great because each magazine has it's own DPS workspace with only it's respective folio files and members of the development team only have to find articles they're working with for publications they're assigned to.
    The viewer builder doesn't seem to act this way. Viewers from other publications appear in the viewer builder regardless of what login a developer is using. Is this correct functionality? Folios are protected by the creator, meaning they can be shared and edited by many users but only published by the creator of the folio, yet it appears that anyone logging in can create and edit viewers. Is there a way to assign specific viewers to specific logins? Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks!
    Wes

    Hi,
    Just got confirmation from the development team that this problem has been fixed and has been deployed to production.
    You can open the account administration and hit the 'enable' checkbox for the application account. Now it should be saved and working in Viewer Builder.
    With kind regards,

  • Viewer Builder Error - requires authentication

    I keep getting this message when i try to log into DPS in the viewer builder.
    I have CS5.5 master suite and viewer builder installed on my work setup and i can log in to accts via the viewer builder there fine.
    I installed the viewer builder on my home computer (no CS5.5 suite) and i get this error message for any acct i try to log in to.
    Is it a requirement for viewer builder that indesign is installed on the system? might there be some other error causing this, or a workaround?
    Thanks-----

    I have the same problem.
    I just had produce a new single veiwer app to appstore.
    After 2 days, when I try to produce another single viewer, I meet that problem, both ipa and zip have the smae error information.
    I pretty sure both our "Development Certificates" and "distribution Certificates" was right and I try to re-produce those again and again,
    Even our developer and distrubution p12 files.
    Do you have any suggestion about this situation??
