Workflow Question - Creating an iPad App?

I have created my interactive publication InDesign.
I've tested it in Content Viewer on my Mac
I've created a Folio and sent it to my Adobe online account and tried to view it on my iPad (but got the error, waiting for the app update).
How do I go about publish it as its own App and actually get it to users?
Thanks

Answering my own question so it might help others.
As I understand it to get the .folio to the Apple store I then have to use the Viewer Builder application to make it into an app and submit to Apple, but this is only available if I sign up for a Professional account at a huge cost!

What program should I use to create an ipad app to collect email addreses?

What programs should I use to create an ipad app to collect email adresses in my store?

For building an iPad app, you can take a look at Adobe Digital Publishing Suite or Adobe Phonegap. Can you describe how would you want to collect email ids and who's emailid's would you want to collect?

I want to create an iPad app with multiple issues of the same magazine inside it

I want to create a digital magazine for iPad. I know with Digital Publishing Suite I can create apps for iPad.
But there is a problem. Is not clear in the website if with the Single Edition I can create an app that contains all issues of the magazine, or if I have to create a new app for each issue of the magazine that I want to publish.
Could you please get me out of doubt?
Please, I need a quick answer. Thanks in advance!

Creating an iPad app on a Windows 8.1 PC

Do I require a Mac in order to create an iPad application?
I realize I need an iPad to test the app. I am signed up for Creative Cloud, but not the publishing app. Do I need to sign up for the publishing app?

Do you have PhoneGap?

Creating personal iPad apps

I currently have InDesign CS6 and would like to use it to create iPad apps to showcase portfolio experience and share with clients. I do not need this to be published to the Apple store, but rather would like to use it within our office and to share with clients. Do I need DPS in order to achieve this, or is that only required for large-scale publishing? I'm unfamiliar with the publishing process and what is required for that. Thank you!

Thank you, Bob. I had hoped this would be the case. I just tried playing around with making a test app to see if it worked, though, and when I go to preview it does not show the connected iPad as an option for viewing. A dialog pops up saying to make sure that Viewer is open on the connected device (which it is), so I'm not sure why it wouldn't see the device. Is this perhaps because I am working on a Windows machine instead of a Mac? Any help is appreciated - thank you!

InDesign CS6 folio builder/links question. For iPad app.

Hi there. I am a graphic designer who is very experienced in InDesign using the software for print purposes. I am now branching out with the capacities CS6 has and am learning to design (mainly presentation) apps for the iPad. So, I've designed a portfolio as a multiple page document with both portrait and landscape page orientations. The app would consist of a starter page which would be a load of animation exported as swf, and imported back into InDesign as HTML5, or MP4, or however (I haven't nailed this yet as I'm leaving this till last as this page will serve as a screen saver until swiped). When the viewer swipes page 1 they will enter into the main 'contents' page with a load of thumbnails of clients I have and within those clients a load of case studies. So, I've roughly designed the layout and will need to build but I need to know what I'm limited by.
Page 1 title page,
page 2 contents (with scrollable bar with links to other pages)
page 3 will be the 1st client and will need approx 6 case studies, which I presume I'll need to make extra pages. And so on.
Anyhow, I digress – the question I ask is that to upload and test on the iPad through content viewer I obviously need to upload the articles as separate pages (incorporating both H & V orientations) but would I make the links from my 'contents' page when the document was a multiple page document (ie in it's original state) or would I apply these links (as buttons I presume rather than hyperlinks) when the articles have been separated and I'm working with page 01, 02, 03 etc in folio builder?. I know how how to create buttons from thumbnails but I can't work out how to link them to their desired targets (next page/page no/ etc etc) for the record I want to present my work on an iPad as an app, without relying on WIFI or 3G. Last question (phew) Is I have a picture frame with a slideshow in - is it possible for the viewer to click these and open them in full screen mode and flick/navigate through that way? then click via a cross in the top corner back to the screen they were on. Very grateful for any replies – It's a steep learning curve from print! Steve C, London, England

Steve,
we have many resources, from step-by-step tutorials to videos and more at our DPS Developer Center at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite.html.
There is also a very cool (and free) app called DPS Tips with many examples on using interactive overlays in DPS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8
The iPad Publishing Companion Guide PDF is available on the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). The link to download the Companion Guide is available in the "Additional Resources" section on the Dashboard.
I think that these resources will provide answers to most of your questions.

Workflow question - creating artwork for client approval

I am going to start on a large project with many different pieces of artwork that will need to be approved along the way. As each piece is approved, it will be integrated with other artwork to eventually form the final piece.
1. Just curious what your workflow with doing something like this might be. Do you send .PDF comps of the artwork requiring approval? Do you use .jpeg? Other?
2. Are there any built in tools in AI for making a process like this easier?
3. What other info do you put on the comp you submit to the client?
thanks.

I tend to use .pdf comps with a security feature allowing only low resoultion (150dpi) printing. The idea being for a proof of an ongoing project an on screen .pdf should be enough.
But that's just me...

Is there a file size limit when creating iPad apps?

IPad app screen dimensions

This is my first shot at creating an iPad app with FlashBuilder. Only one puzzling thing so far, and I can't see anything about it:
My iPad app in landscape is 748 high, not 768 - hence, it has white bands top and bottom. I'm using the Flex 4.5.1 SDK. Portrait is 1004 high, same bands. My run configurations do in fact say that the "Usable" landscape is 1024x748 - there is only one config for iPad and it's not editable. Obviously, though, the device itself doesn't agree and seems to be looking for 1024x768. Why is this?
Do I have to update my run configurations to include an iPad2 profile, or switch to SDK 4.6?
Note: My main file does begin with the [SWF(width="1024", height="768"] statement, and is set to FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE.
Thanks for any help.

I guess it wasn't such a simple question -- no answer after 3 days. Happily I found the solution. So for the sake of concluding this: I upgraded the ActonScript Compiler to SDK 4.6. Now fills the iPad screen.
A further note: anyone who encounters this same issue and upgrades to SDK 4.6 may find that upon publishing, there is a warning that some AIR SDK libraries are required. The warnng contains a link to a page with very clear instructions about how to download the missing iOS configuration libraries and manually install them (without completely reinstalling FlashBuilder).

Creating an iPhone app? How?

I've been looking for weeks online for instructions on how to do this, but I can't find the information I'm looking for so I thought I'd post my question here.
I have an iPhone 3G and love it. I'm an author who would like to sell my ebook in the app store. I've downloaded the 3.0 SDK to my hard drive (but after installation, I can't find it) nor can I find any instructions on how to use it to create an app.
If anyone knows of an online resource you can recommend to help me, I'd gladly appreciate it. I'm completely in the dark as to how to do this and Apple's website isn't as helpful as I had hoped.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the info.
So basically I can't create any Iphone apps with what looks like the single edition I have.
I'm trying to create some apps for the Newstand so I've already created a Ipad version but was also hopeing to have a Iphone version too
It says you can create unlimited Ipad apps with the single edition but would that include multiple editions of a magazine rather than an update of an existing one?

If you have the app on a computer in your iTunes Library, and it has not been updated, you can sync it to your iPad.

IPad App issue ..!! adt.bat -target ipa-app-store app hangsss..!!

Hi Team,

adt.bat -package -target ipa-test-interpreter : makes an .ipa which installs on my iPad and successfully runs
After issue, i create a simple app using just one label , still the same issue
I am using correct distribution provision and certificates .
help appreciated..!!

I did eventually figure it out. At the time I didn't know how to embed an XML file, so I was taking the file and converting it to a reallly long string. It was in the format of:
xmlString += "<xmlTag>stuff</xmlTag>";
xmlString += "<otherTag>stuff</otherTag>";
There were three files, the shortest of which was over 1000 lines long. For some reason the compiler just choked on that. If I had even one of them in there it wouldn't compile for the app store. The moment I removed them, everything could compile just fine. That was when I figured out how to just embed the XML files and everything has worked since. Interestingly, my compile times for test and debug mode dropped by half once I did that; so it was clearly causing some issues for the compiler in general.
If you don't have a file like the one I just described, I would recommend commenting out almost everything in your main file and compiling it. If you have an empty project, everything should compile correctly. Start adding things back in one at a time until you get the problem. That was how I ended up nailing down what was happening for us.

University...how to allow certain K-12 teachers to download ipad app

I work a university in South Carolina and am creating an IPAD app that I want to make available only to certain K-12 teachers. The app will be free to these teachers and I really don't want to give downloading access to just anybody via the AppStore.
Are there any FREE solutions to allow these select teachers to download this IPAD app?
Thanks

Not from the Apple App Store. If they can get it, I can get it. I don't know if there are other ways to load apps.

Can I Publish iPad app with Creative Cloud or do I need to upgrade?

I have a subscription to Creative Cloud that is about to expire.
Before I renew - want to know if I can publish an iPad app with Creative Cloud, or do I need to upgrade to Creative Suite or Digital Publishing Suite?
Thanks!

Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition was added to the Cloud in Sep 2012
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/dpsse/
"As a Creative Cloud member, you can now create, develop, and deliver iPad apps using the tools you’re already familiar with. Design brochures, personal portfolios, yearbooks, annual reports — and integrate interactive elements such as slideshows and image sequences — using our latest release: the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition.
This new functionality comes as a plugin to InDesign, making it an approachable and intuitive solution that leverages your existing skills — so if you know print design, you already know how to create an iPad app. What’s even more exciting is that, as a Creative Cloud member, you get the exclusive benefit of being able to submit an unlimited number of iPad apps to the Apple App Store. If purchased separately, publishing each app costs US $395."
