The default library for iPad subscription apps has been upgraded inDefault Library Photo the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite v31 release. The new library configuration will prominently display the newest content available for purchase or subscription. The showcase format will include a larger cover image, folio-specific metadata, and folio description. Buttons that appear in the library can be customized in the DPS App Builder; i.e., “Buy Issue” buttons can be replaced with the actual price of the folio. Note: The new library configuration applies only to iPad subscription apps in iOS 7; the previous grid format is still used on iOS 6 iPads. The grid format is also used if the “Hide Buy Buttons” option is selected in DPS App Builder. For more information, see “Customizing UI text in DPS iOS apps” on Adobe’s website.
