Hey There,

It seems that the xxx.opf file in the publication preview is containing the versioning info.

Please try this.

The xxx.opf file in filename.epub must have a line which looks like

Remove that line, save the file, rebuild the package and deliver.

Thanks,

Hi Mohammad. Thank you for the answer.

Sorry but i don't have "filename.epub" or OPF.

1 file "namebook.ibooks" extracted from the program IBOOK AUTHOR;

I open Itunes producer and i dothe procedure to load the file "namebook.ibooks" in itunes producer.

Where is this LINE? : <meta property="ibooks:version">3.0</meta>

Ohh I see. I thought that you are getting this error in an epub. Nevermind. You can try following steps when exporting a preview of the book.

With the book open, choose Share > Export, and click iBooks.
Choose Standard Book for iBooks from the Export As pop-up menu.
If you want, type a book version number in the Version Number field.
(DON'T put any version number here. I think this is causing the problem)
Click Next.
Type a name for the book, choose a place to save it, and click Export.

It took my book to go live within 3 days after it got successfully imported by Apple. Did you check whether Apple successfully imported your uploaded book? You can check it by going in iTunes Producer, Window > Lookup Status ... then enter Vendor Id/ISBN... and make sure that it says "Imported"

Good Luck with the Book 🙂

Thank you for your answer. Now i’m looking that my book is online in itunes connect.

But i’m reading that my book is available for download on iPad with iBooks or on computer with iTunes. I have ibooks application in my iphone. Can i download it?

You can't download it on your iPhone since you made it an iPad ONLY compatible.
