There is a lo
t of excitement everywhere about Apple® iOS5, the new version of iPhone and iPad Operating System, and Newsstand®, a folder that will organize your magazine and newspaper app subscriptions. And we are often asked what is our status on that and whether we will be Newsstand compatible. Well, it turns out that we are already Newsstand compatible and are testing the next release of AVE AppFactory (1.1) that will add Newsstand support.
Adding Newsstand support to your existing kiosks (or new kiosks) is as easy as:
- making sure you pick a Newsstand enabled template
- make sure you configure your app for notifications
- create subscriptions because Newsstand is really targeted at apps with subscription models. Creating a subscription is almost as easy as creating an in-app item.
- check the Newsstand option in the AVE AppFactory template and customize some behaviour.
- submit an update to Apple.
