To test your App name on the iPad, open a website in iPad Safari, choose Add to Home Screen from the Safari menu, and then type the
desired Viewer name. If the name is truncated, use a smaller name.
Specify the most recent viewer.
The DPS App Builder includes a previous version for backup purposes. With the v28 release, you might want to create a v27 viewer, which
supports iOS 5 and the iPad 1. The v28 viewer supports iOS 7 features but not iOS 5.
Specify the viewer type (see Types of custom viewer apps). The availability of some options depends on the type of account.
A multi-folio viewer app includes a library that lets users download content that is hosted on the Adobe Distribution Service.
A single-folio app includes built-in content. When you select this option, the Exported Folio option appears.
Specify the .zip file created using the Export option in the Folio Producer Organizer. This option is not available if iPhone is selected.
(Enterprise only) Create a viewer app that uses a custom entitlement server to determine which customers
can download content. If you select this option, you use your own subscription service. Consult with Apple. Entitlement only apps cannot
be enabled for Newsstand.
Create a viewer app that uses the Apple App Store subscription model.
(Enterprise only) Create a viewer app that uses a custom entitlement server to
determine which customers can download content. Customers can subscribe either through your subscription service or through the Apple
App Store.
Create a version of the Adobe Content Viewer instead of downloading it from the App Store. See Create a
custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad.
Provide the title that will appear at the top of the viewer library. For best results, use no more than 35 characters.
Provide the appropriate Adobe ID and password for your app. Specify the same Adobe ID you use to create folios for this title.
Make sure that the Adobe ID is assigned the Application role in the Account Administration tool. The Title ID for the app can be different from the
Adobe ID used to sign in to DPS App Builder.
Specify the custom URL scheme that launches the viewer app from Safari and other apps. To ensure uniqueness, Apple
recommends that you use the reverse-domain format (com.publisher.publication). For best results with Twitter social sharing, use 32 characters or
fewer.
For example, suppose you specify “com.sportspub.kayaking” as the URL scheme. If you embed a “com.sportspub.kayaking://” link on your
webpage, clicking the link from the mobile browser opens the viewer app. For more information, see Apple’s developer website.
If you selected Built-in Single Edition App for App type, specify the .zip file to be built in with the viewer. To create a .zip file, use
the Export option in the Folio Producer Organizer. See Export folios for single-folio viewers. (Instead of using the exported .zip file, you can select
the folio in the Folio Builder panel and choose Create App.)
If you specify a privacy policy URL, "Privacy Policy" appears in the library settings menu. If a user taps Privacy
Policy, the web page is displayed in an in-app browser.
(Enterprise only) The welcome screen is a transparent Web View that displays HTML content of your choice. The
HTML content appears the first time customers launch the app after installing it or the first time they launch the app after it's updated. For
example, you can use the welcome screen to encourage readers to create an account, accept terms-of-use, explore a preview issue, or orient
them to the app. The welcome screen has full access to the Library/Store JavaScript API, and you have full control over the experience.
Specify the .zip file containing your HTML files. If your app supports both iPad and iPhone, your HTML files should display content that works on
both device sizes. For instructions and sample HTML files, see the Welcome Screen article in the DPS Developer Center.
