DPS Bug Fix Release Notes

This article lists known current issues as well as the most relevant bug fixes for each Digital Publishing Suite release. For a list of new features, see What's new in this release.

For a list of known DPS server issues and upcoming planned maintenance, see http://status.adobedps.com.

• If InDesign CS6 crashes after you update the DPS Desktop Tools, either restart your computer or force-quit ADB.
• If you delete an article from a published folio and try to update the folio, the update might fail.
  
• If you unpublish, re-publish, and then update a folio, and folio previously downloaded no longer picks up the updated folio; the cached folio remains.
  
• PDF support on Android does not include displaying PDF files in an in-app browser.
• When editing an app in DPS App Builder, an error message sometimes states that the custom icon files cannot be found. Restart DPS App Builder to resolve this issue.
• For some publishers, Facebook settings are set to be seen "By Me." In Facebook Developer Settings > Permissions, change the Default Activity Privacy setting to a different option such as "None (User Default)."
• If you can't sign in to the Folio Builder panel in InDesign CS6, see this DPS forum thread for guidance.
• If the Adobe Content Viewer fails to install when you update your DPS tools, see Can't install, locate Desktop Adobe Content Viewer.
• If the DPS App Builder fails to install, remove the app from the Applications folder (if it exists), empty your trash, sign in to the DPS Dashboard, and click DPS App Builder for the Mac.
• If you get an "authentication failed" error when you sign in to the Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad with a verified Adobe ID, or if a valid, published folio fails to appear in a custom viewer app, there might be a problem with the server. See the "Authentication failed" section of the Troubleshoot Adobe Content Viewer tech note, or contact your Adobe representative.
• Buttons are currently not active in top/bottom hot zone areas. This is scheduled to be addressed in a hot fix.
• There are several issues with Free Article Preview. In some cases, overlays are not included in the paywall background image, leaving an empty area. The workaround is to place a poster behind the overlay, if possible. Also, if Horizontal Swipe Only is turned on, the preview images of all but the first page appear as gray.
• If you get an "Error Code 1" while building a Single Edition app, see this forum thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5326269

• If the "Free" option does not appear in the Folio Producer Editor, make sure that you do two things: (1) edit the folio's viewer version to v26, and (2) update the articles within that folio. (When you update the folio's viewer version, the articles maintain their previous viewer version until they're updated.)
• Although PDF is now supported on Android, linking to PDF files in the HTMLResources.zip file is not supported on Android.
• Don't assume that all PDF articles will behave the same way on Android viewers as they do on iOS viewers. Web Content overlays in particular can experience different behavior. Panoramas, inline videos, and several other features are still not supported on Android.
• When you create an HTML banner for a subscription app with entitlement, the banner now spans the entire page. You might need to adjust your HTML accordingly.
• If you specify an entitlement banner, you're still required to provide subscription tile assets in DPS App Builder, even though the tile does not appear. (We tried to fix this in v26, but a bug we caught late caused us to revert to the previous behavior.) You can use blank "dummy" images for the subscription tiles.
  
• When creating the new 1136x640 rendition for the iPhone 5, keep in mind that if you viewed a previous rendition in your viewer, the new rendition will not replace it unless you remove/reinstall your app.

• In some instances, testing a subscription development app in a sandbox environment resulted in valid subscriptions not working properly. SubscriptionReceipt endDate and startDate were null for subscriptions. This issue was resolved in a server-side hot fix.
  
• iOS analytics: ViewerVersion property is suffixed with "-dev-m" resolved in a server-side hot fix.
  
• When a device is running iOS6.1, any multi-folio app created before v25 will crash if the device is not connected to the Internet. With the hot fix, you can use DPS App Builder now to create either a v24 or v25 viewer that does not crash in offline mode when the device is running iOS6.1.

This section lists the most relevant bug fixes for release 18 (January 2012).

• Folio Producer bug fixes include manual push notifications and image cover resizing (large cover images are now compressed, resulting in improved viewer performance).
• The Dashboard login is faster for users with a large numbers of delegates.
• With the Account Administration tool, delegate users without any roles no longer have access to the same Dashboard features as the application accounts.

• Japanese chars supported in file path
• Can now relink articles to source documents
• Fixed unresponsive behavior on upload; added progress bar
• Enable bracket chars ('<', '>') in metadata fields
• Upload works when article is hosted on network drive

• Fixed frequent crash while downloading content. Crash occurred when an article was being rendered as part of progressive download and an external http request was being made (e.g. a twitter feed).
• Protect cover images from OS cleanup. Cover images are routinely deleted by the OS, causing a bad user experience when launching the viewer after some time between launches.
• Library previews for folios the user did not download would occasionally be cleaned by the OS. Upon launch users would see gray frames in the library while the assets were being fetched.
• The Library can no longer get into a state where the "Update Library" does not finish, resulting in new content not being discovered until the app is shut down and relaunched.
• Fixed race condition where Library update got stuck. The workaround was to force quit the application.
• Tap no longer toggles displays navigation bars on image sequence with disabled tap.
• For Newsstand apps, prevented a "not found" response from causing app to crash.
• In rare cases, a background download being initiated before a folio is created caused the app to crash the next time it is launched. Customers on DPS push will not encounter this because the push does not trigger until the uber bundle creation is finished.
• Several push notification issues addressed.
• Several HTML display issues addressed.

• If a slideshow has auto play with a delay and you tap a go to state button during the delay, it now prevents auto starting.
• Tapping a slideshow while it is in the middle of a crossfade now pauses it.
• Fixed issues in which navto hyperlinks in scrollable content stop working and toggle the navigation bars.
• Smooth scrolling on Amazon (Android) has smoother scrolling and improved inertia control.
• Android 2.2: File paths derived from MagazineID can contain unsafe special characters (This can cause references to files to fail; e.g. a video won't be accessible because of the file path).
• Swiping up or down when navigating to or away from a smooth scrolling stack causes the stack to stop in between stacks if the stack is still scrolling vertically.
• Fixed several situations that caused a gray screen, such as when viewing a single-orientation folio.
• Tapping an image sequence or slideshow with disabled tap no longer toggles navigation bars if the overlay located on the top of an inline video.
• Folios with special characters (*:) in the Publication name can now be download.
• Buy button should start download once purchase is successful.
• Fixed intermittent failure when resuming extraction from Force quit or Shutting down the device.

• If a user has two or more scrollable content overlays in a stack, and if they both have the same custom name, only one used to appear in the folio. Fixed.
• An asset path is no longer blank when Windows document is opened on Mac OS.
• Warning icon now appears for asset path that contains High-ASCII character when Mac documents are opened on Windows.
• The less than symbol (<) no longer causes problems in folio/article metadata fields (Text following the less than symbol is removed in the Magazine title, Kicker, and Description fields. Text completely disappears in the Title and Byline fields.)
• MAC only: With multiple web content overlays, trailing forward slashes no longer cause "invalid asset location" error.
