When editing the Application account, you can specify shared secret information. Shared secret information is required in iOS for subscription
viewer apps and for all Amazon viewer apps that have retail folios.
While Apple calls this information code a “shared secret,” Android calls it a “public key,” and Amazon calls it a “shared key.” If you offer any retail
content for a viewer that appears in Amazon Appstore, the shared key is required. For details on obtaining a shared secret, see the publishing
guide associated with the platform.
Use the same shared secret information for all apps. Avoid changing the shared secret.
After you specify the shared secret information, sign in to the
that Application account. Signing in to the Dashboard
authenticates the shared secret.
Under Store Settings, you can also specify the iTunes Application URL. This URL is used in the social sharing workflow to let share recipients
download the app if it’s not installed. It's important to specify this URL so that share recipients can tap a link to download or open your app.
You can obtain the iTunes Application URL even if Apple has not yet approved the app. In iTunes Connect, click the app and use the "View in App
Store" link, or right-click the app and choose Copy Link Address.
Device Viewer settings
The Device Viewer section determines the behavior of apps on devices such as the iPad.
Select this option to make the most recently published retail folio available to users who download the iPad app
for the first time.
If users remove the promotional retail folio, they can download it again. If they uninstall and reinstall the app, they are entitled only to the original
promotional folio, not to the most recently published retail folio. For more detailed information, see
When you submit your app to Apple, make sure that you have at least two retail folios so that Apple can test in-app purchases.
Select the "Enable Article Preview" option to let users preview any retail folio that includes articles marked as "Free" (use
the Folio Producer Editor to mark folios as Free). When users tap the cover image of a retail folio that has free articles in the library, a Preview
button appears in the preview pane below the Buy and Subscribe (if available) buttons. When users tap Preview, all articles marked as Free are
downloaded, along with preview images of protected article. When users go into browse mode or swipe to view protected articles, a paywall pane
covers most of each protected article.
At this time, the Free Article Preview feature is iPad only, works only in retail folios, and does not support folios that include Sections.
In terms of publisher download counts, free articles are charged against download counts based on the number of free articles downloaded and
the total number of articles in the retail folio. If a retail folio includes 20 total articles with 5 free preview articles, 1 download is counted when 4
users preview the folio.
The Paywall Threshold setting under Device Viewer allows your customers to download and view the specified number of articles marked as
"Metered" when previewing articles in a retail folio. Use the Folio Producer Editor to mark articles as Metered. Once a user reaches the limit
specified in Paywall Threshold, a paywall message appears when they browse to either Metered or Protected articles. The threshold you specify
for the app is applied to each folio. If you set the threshold to 3, users can preview 3 metered articles in each folio, and a paywall appears when
they navigate to the fourth metered article.
For more detailed information, see the DPS Developer Center article about
Content Viewer for Web settings
The Content Viewer for the Web options affect the behavior of articles that appear when users view articles using the Content Viewer for the Web
(also called the "web viewer") on a computer.
The Application Name you specify appears in the title bar when a shared article is viewed in a Web Viewer browser.
Also specify the iTunes Application URL under Store Settings so that share recipients are prompted to download the app if it’s not installed.
Select this option to let users view your articles in the Content Viewer for Web (also called "web viewer") on a
computer. To make articles in retail folios available in web viewer, use the Folio Producer Editor to set articles as either Free or Metered. If you
enable web viewer, article views are counted against your download fulfillments as described in Social media download counts.
Selecting the Enable Content Viewer for Web option is required for the Social Sharing feature to work.
Enable Content Viewer for Web is disabled in trial accounts.
