Customize iPad Player: When?

Feb 15, 2013

When will the ability to customize the iPad player be available?  Not being able to customize the icon for clients is a tough sale for us "non-in house" developers.

Could something be done to add instructions that customizes the icon once content is accessed the first time - something we could edit/create during the dev process coded into the file?  I know there would most likely have to be a generic icon initially like the one used now but I'm just curious as to what can be done to better serve paying clients for the learning I develop for the them on the iPad.  Maybe a way that a four finger swipe brings up a hidden password enabled editor that allows the icon to be edited on the ipad (don't think this is possible).  Just throwing suggestions out there...

Anyone else have ideas on how the icon could be changed based on the clients logo or colors (preferably without them having to do anything)?

Hi Jim and welcome to Heroes.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with App Store guidelines but, unfortunately, there is currently no process to support your scenario.
There is no way you can customize an app that does not really belong to you.

The closest thing you can get to a "customised" player would be if Articulate provided a whitelabel service. Think developer accounts, submission & approval (?) process, Apple guidelines for "duplicate apps" etc. That's easier said than done though (i.e. highly unlikely to ever happen).

I'm pretty sure that's not the answer you were looking for but...nevertheless that's my 2c.
