- The v31 viewer supports iOS 6 and iOS 7, and offers limited iOS 8 support (bug fixes only). The option to create v31 apps will be available through March 2015.
Legacy Content Viewer for Android to be retired
To deliver a more engaging reading experience on Android tablet and phones, we encourage customers to use the native Content Viewer for Android. The native Android viewer offers extended capabilities as compared to the legacy, AIR-based Content Viewer for Android. Note that with the December 2014 release of DPS, the legacy, AIR-based Android viewer will be retired and no longer supported. Please review the Native Content Viewer for Android FAQ for more information.
For information about the native Android viewer, see Building native DPS apps for Android.
InDesign CS5.5/CS5 and DPS support in v32
With the v32 release, DPS no longer supports InDesign CS5/CS5.5. InDesign CS5/CS5.5 users can no longer create folios or articles or upload content to the Folio Producer Service. For details, see DPS and InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 Support.
DPS App Builder requirements
- For Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite), users must update Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to use App Builder. To download JRE, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572.
- DPS App Builder supports Mac OSX 10.7 or later. DPS App Builder can no longer be installed in Mac OSX 10.6.8 or earlier.
Restriction to the number of folios in Folio Producer
With v32, publishers are limited to publishing only 1,000 folios in the same Folio Producer account and 1,200 articles in a folio. If you need to publish more than 1,000 folios in an app, you can use a workaround described in DPS high-volume workflow.
