Create 480x320, 960x640, and 1136x640 renditions
Create only one folio
The iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S models as well as the iPod Touch (Generation 4 and later) are supported for DPS. The iPhone 3G is not supported.
The iPhone 3GS has 480x320-pixel dimensions. The iPhone 4 and 4S have 960x640-pixel dimensions. The iPhone 5 models have 1136x640 pixel
dimensions.
You can create a viewer app for both the iPhone and iPad. You cannot create a single-issue viewer app for the iPhone or an iPhone-only viewer
app.
Folios you create for the iPad do not appear in the iPhone viewer. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 aspect ratio, such as 960x640,
as well as 1136x640 folios for the iPhone 5 models. For best results, create folio renditions. If you set up renditions properly and create a custom
viewer that supports both iPhone and iPad, you can ensure that your customers are entitled to the same issue on any iOS device. See Create folio
renditions.
Bookmarks are not yet supported for the iPhone. Enterprise customers can create as many as three custom icons for the nav bar.
To create folios that target the iPhone, you have the following options:
When you create folio renditions, the iPhone 3GS displays only the smaller rendition and
the iPhone 4/4S models display only the larger rendition. You can use the same set of source files to create the 480x320 and 960x640 renditions.
You need to create separate layouts for the 1136x640 iPhone 5 rendition. In addition, create 1024x768 and 2048x1536 renditions for the iPad.
You can create a single 480x320 folio with PDF articles that look good on all supported iPhone models, although the
1136x640 content is letterboxed. See Creating multi-rendition PDF articles for iOS devices. If you create only a 960x640 folio, it does not appear in
the library of the iPhone 3GS. If you create only an 1136x640 folio, it appears only on the iPhone 5.
Important considerations:
To avoid problems, publish the renditions at the same time. Suppose that you publish a 480x320 folio and then a week later you publish a
960x640 rendition of that folio. If your iPhone 4S customers open the library before the larger rendition is available, only the smaller rendition
remains available. The only way for them to get the larger rendition is to remove and reinstall the viewer app.
If you have a Newsstand app, do not trigger a push notification until all renditions have been published and are available.
When using DPS App Builder to create or update your viewer, create additional icons, splash screens and other images that support the
iPhone sizes.
