Anyone with InDesign or later can use Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) to create and preview content on mobile devices. However, in order to create apps, you need a DPS or Adobe Experience Manager Mobile (AEM Mobile) license.

With a license, you are entitled to build apps using both Adobe Digital Publishing Suite and Experience Manager Mobile (previously referred to as Adobe Digital Publishing Solution).
