Draft content not appearing in Apple News

    I’ve just started with the plugin. I’ve submitted several of my existing articles to Apple News, however only one is showing on their side. Also none are showing what I open Apple News on my iPhone when logged into iCoud with my Apple News Account. All articles I have submitted show as Live and Published in the plugin. I haven’t submitted by channel for final approval as yet because I want to preview the drafts first to make sure I’m happy with the typesetting. Any idea what is going wrong?

    I have also contacted Apple News Publishing Support and am waiting for the their response.

    @mrankin I followed up with the Apple News team and they said this is not a plugin issue. The steps to publish content should be:

    The workflow is as follows:

    1. User receives API Key via iCloud News Publisher
    2. User inserts API Key into plug-in
    3. User “publishes” to Apple News content via CMS
    4. User sees “published” content in News Publisher > Articles > Drafts from CMS
    5. User can then preview those in Drafts from CMS articles on an iOS device signed into the same iCloud account
    6. Once they are okay with the content, the user can click “Submit for Approval”.

    Here is a video for reference: https://newsresources-stage.apple.com/en/videos/#news-cms

    It sounds like there may be a break at step 5. If you have an issue number from Apple, I can have them follow up on this further. I’m going to mark as resolved since this issue is not related to the plugin.

    Thanks.

    I couldn’t get the previewing of drafts working at all. I have now gone ahead and fully published one article which I can see in my news channel. Have opened a new thread on issues now found with image layout. Happy for this to remain closed.
