ibooks

We've been testing HTML widgets in iBooks 3 and had some success in connecting online. One of the drawbacks, though, is it requires user interaction to actually expand the widget and run Javascript. Is there a way to run Javascript in the background of the iBook, without requiring user interaction outside of regular paging? For example, if we wanted to have Mixpanel running in the background, how would we do that? Is there another type of widget that allows this to happen? Or is there something else that runs javascript besides the HTML widget? edit: To clarify, I'm using iBooks Author to

I have a test PDF file that I want to open in iBooks through my app. I saved it in my temp directory and I use this code to load it to iBooks: NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:tempFullPath]; NSLog(@"Path is %@", tempFullPath); UIDocumentInteractionController *controller = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:targetURL]; controller.delegate = self; controller.UTI = @"com.adobe.pdf"; [controller presentOpenInMenuFromRect:self.view.bounds inView:self.view animated:YES]; The menu pops up just fine but when I tap the iBooks button the app crashes and hangs my Xcode

I have created and validated an ePub 3 which I am currently testing. I am using a fixed layout.. <meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta> <meta property="rendition:orientation">portrait</meta> <meta property="rendition:spread">none< /meta> It works nicely, however multiple pages seems to load and run at once when testing in different readers. I'm using jQuery's document ready to kick things off and play audio, run animations, etc. When testing in iBooks I open the book to page 1 which loads and begins to run, but then I start hearing audio from page 2.. so the document ready

Is it possible to find out when a page of an EPUB Fixed Layout is being viewed with Javascript? There is the DOMContentLoaded event, but the adjacent pages also fire this event when they are preloaded in iBooks, causing animations or sounds to start before the page being visible... No, it's not. This is a "feature" of iBooks. It preloads the pages, I suppose to make page turns faster later on. Unfortunately, there is no way to detect that a page is preloading as opposed to being actually viewed. There's only one way to deal with this--force user interaction on each page (tapping something) to

I would like to embed an e-book created with iBooks Author inside an app. Does anybody know if it's possible? If not, is it possible to add a "link" in my app that opens the e-book? You can export from iBooks author as PDF and then create a wrapper app that will display that PDF inside an app, but the experience will be suboptimal. There is a computer tool called EPUB to pdf to convert the files into PDF. Once that is done im sure you can go on XCODE. The easiest way to load and display a local pdf file is to use a UIWebview like that: NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@
