Viewer Builder & Preparing for Newsstand

Hello,
I am in the process of trying to get my multi-issue subscription magazine approved at the Apple Newsstand. I am having some difficulty. Can someone please help me? This is how I thought that the process of preparing these files worked:
1. Build a Viewer with Viewer Builder. I made it multi-issue (because this will be a monthly mag.)  Is this correct?
2. The Title ID: I thought that the Title ID should directly correspond to the email address that I use to create the folios correct? It won't let me. It highlights that area with a red box. I'm not sure why it won't let me and would appreciate help. I would think that by having the Title ID sync up to the Folio Builder that when I publish future issues they will show up in the Newsstand App?
3. I know this is not an Apple help center, but when I went on their Dev forums to ask for some insight in getting this approved I was told I needed to use a coding software (Xcode) from Apple. Does this make any sense? I thought I was able to just stick with the Viewer Builder in order to get this mag published.
4. I submitted the .ipa file to the Apple store trying to get it approved. It was rejected because "the storefront appeared empty" when they tested it. This is why I think I must be doing something wrong as far as building the viewer and getting them to sync up to the folio builder.
Again - thanks for any help. I have been playing around with this for a week and haven't been able to get anywhere. I feel as if I am close but missing something.

Hi thanks for your help!
I am having an issue with #2 though. I try to use the Adobe ID that I have been using to create the Folios but when I do it won't let me continue and puts a red box around the Title ID. I have included the screen shot. I remember reading something that had me create a dps.admin@*******.com in order to use this as the Title ID but I think it also said something about not having that attached to any current Adobe account. Would I need to make that dps.admin@*******.com account the one that builds the folios (rebuild the folio) to get it to sync up correctly?
If this helps at all, I work for a company and my boss paid for the Professional Edition. SO that is the email address I use to log in to the Viewer Builder. I am the designer, so I have my own adobe account (the one I am using to post on here). I currently use my account to build the folios for the magazine. It should let me use my ID under the Title ID or do I ened to use the dps.admin mentioned above?
Thanks again

  • Viewer Builder on PC in Future?

    Are there any plans to make the viewer builder available for PC users?  Or is that not ever possible?  I don't have access to a Mac and have no way of building a custom viewer....
    Thanks,

    Making the Viewer Builder available on Windows to support building Android/Amazon viewers is on the roadmap, but it keeps getting pushed out for other features.

  • Possible to make a Newsstand App without subscription using viewer builder 1.9?

    As far as I can tell, the only way to enable newsstand through Viewer Builder 1.9 is if I select 'multi-issue with itunes subscription'. In itunes connect newsstand is enabled, but if I build the viewer with the multi-issue option selected and try to upload to apple, I get an error that newsstand is not enabled. (info.plist must include Newsstand=true) We did not plan on offering a subscription, only individual 'issues' for purchase. Is there a way around this? If I set up a free subscription, can I still charge for my individual folios?

    Did you include the device's UDID in the mobile provision file?

  • VIDEO: Creating Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1

    Hi Everyone,
    Colin Fleming of Adobe has created this great video on how to create Newsstand capable apps with Viewer Builder 1.5.1 (and later) and posted it to YouTube. Check it out here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_gvAoySuo

    Thanks Bob, I'm getting there, it seems like I'm working my way through a jigsaw puzzle!
    I get the Adoble ID for signing in, which is the valid email that I then use to sign in to folio builder and producer
    such as [email protected], but for the Apple in-app purchasing they use a reverse domain structure one for the length the subscription will last, (in my case 1 year) so I use info.aq2.publication.annual and then the 2nd non-consumable I create a product ID for each publication ie info.aq2.publication.winter11. These later 2 reverse domains are what I've put in the viewer builder.
    So what I'm not understanding yet is how I link an individual Apple ID to a folio in Folio producer
    so sign in to folio producer, with [email protected]
    do I use the Apple ID (reverse domain structure) in the folio name?
    In Folio producer I will have all of my quarterly folio's
    will it be
    Folio Name                              Publication Name          Folio Number          Etc
    info.aq2.publication.winter11          CM Review                        1
    info.aq2.publication.spring12          CM Review                        2

    Hello,
    i have a problem:
    Dear developer,
    We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "XY". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
    Invalid Code Signing Entitlements - The signature for your app bundle contains entitlement values that are not supported. For the com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers entitlement, the first value in the array must consist of the prefix provided by Apple in the provisioning profile followed by a bundle identifier suffix. The bundle identifier must match the bundle identifier for one of your apps or another app that you are permitted to use as the iCloud container identifier.
    Specifically, value "D000000000.*" for key "com.apple.developer.ubiquity-container-identifiers" in viewer is not supported.
    Invalid Code Signing Entitlements - The signature for your app bundle contains entitlement values that are not supported.
    Specifically, value "D000000000.*" for key "com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier" in viewer is not supported.
    Once these issues have been corrected, go to the Version Details page and click "Ready to Upload Binary." Continue through the submission process until the app status is "Waiting for Upload." You can then deliver the corrected binary.

  • The selected log is not prepared for viewing error

    Hello,
    this is literally my first day using signal express and up to now everything went fine recording voltage from accelerometer and an impact hammer. Without me changing any parameters as far as I remember I now get the errror 'the selected log is not prepared for viewing. Once recording has completed you must right-click on the log and select Make log viewable before viewing it'
    Apart from the fact that there is no such option on the log (only the option of Show Value by right clicking)
    I went to Tools--> Options--->Logging and made sure that the prepare log data for viewing is on the 'during logging' option.
    I then changed that to 'after logging complete' to see if the error stops but nothing yet.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi,
    turns out the problem was linked with not having enough space on the server were I saved the logs...when I deleted some previous work to make up space everything worked just fine. Problem solved, thank you for your interest.

  • Viewer Builder / Newsstand Issues

    I am having some confusion in the Subscription Details section of the Viewer Builder.
    There are 2 input fields that are not making since to me, Optional Library Subscription Tile URL and Optional Remote Custom Dialog URL.
    The info for Optional Library Subscription Tile URL says "Specify a URL with a 180-pixel wide banner that is displayed at the top of the library view."
    This does not seem to do at all what the info says, it actually opens a Custom Dialog with the graphic (or HTML) when you click on the Subscription Tile graphic (not the Subscription button in the interface)
    The info for Optional Remote Custom Dialog URL says "This URL will be loaded in a dialog when the subscription process completes."
    This does not seem to do anything.

    Does this help?
    Optional Library Subscription Tile URL - Specify a URL that is displayed in an in-app browser window when the customer taps the subscription tile. This webpage can include messaging that is not necessarily related to subscriptions.
    Optional Remote Custom Dialog URL - This URL loads when the customer completes the subscription process. For example, you can request user information or provide additional details about your products.

  • How do i test my magazine for free using the current viewer builder?

    I downloaded  the adobe viewer builder, and i entered all my license's. I get to the activation page. Then it ask me to purchase a serial number. When it brings me to the
    site, it prompts me to purchase something for $400.00.
    I just want to test, for free... How do i do that?

    Thanks Bob!
    I think thats insane considering  the adobe content viewer doesnt work on the ipad with the current DPS folios.
    Is there any other alternative?
    Would it be better just to use the xcode apple ap?
    Thanks

  • 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....

  • Signing Viewer Builder for Android

    I have been trying to publish my first app to the Android Market using the DPS Pro Edition & I'm having trouble creating certificates to sign my app in DPS Viewer Builder (version 2.1.130)
    Every time I click on the .apk package to download it from Viewer Builder I get an error pointing to something being wrong with the certificate I have created. The error I get is: Viewer Builder Error: Signed output file could not be created- certificates may be invalid. It does dowload a file called unsigned-viewer.zip I presume I can't do anything with this without it being signed.
    I've read and followed all that is mentiond in http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html to create the certificate.
    I have tried creating the certificate using Flash and Terminal from my mac running OS 10.7.4
    My folios were built using Viewer Version v22
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    What version of Viewer Builder are you using? If it's 2.1.x and not 2.2, move Viewer Builder from the Applications folder to the trash and download the most up-to-date version from the Dashboard. Then try again.

  • 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.
