Is DPS really necessary to create an Android app? I ask because I'm trying to create my first app and a colleague of mine bought DPS but then cancelled his subscription because he found a tutorial that showed that all he needed was InDesign (he's running CS6 on a Mac but I'm running CC(2014) on a PC running Windows 7). When he selects a folio in the Folio Builder and then selects the options dropdown in the top right hand corner of the box he has an option to 'Create App' but for me that doesn't exist. Can anyone explain this please?
I have so far managed to upload my folio to the DPS Dashboard and from within that I have published it, tested it on my Android device using the 'Adobe Content View' that I downloaded from the 'Google Play store' and I've also exported my app from the DPS Dashboard as a .zip file. What I can't do (or don't understand how to do) is the next bit. How do I get from the .zip to an app with its own icon. Do I have to purchase a DPS account to go any further? Also worth mentioning is that I don't want to upload this app to the 'Google Play Store' as I only intend it to run on a few tablets.
Thanks,
Joe
