How to Host an Experience Builder Dev App for AGOL

cjms

After creating an Experience Builder App with Developer Edition, how can I host it and then display it in AGOL?

I was following along on this intro video, and after deploying to IIS via a virtual directory, the speaker just says "...depending on your share settings, it could be hit publicly...".

The documentation also says:

"The experiences you create with developer edition of ArcGIS Experience Builder can be downloaded and hosted on a web server", but no further directions on how to host on a web server.

What are the next steps to get my app viewable to the public from a friendly url (not the server name)?

As someone who is not a developer, tutorials with videos / screenshots are most helpful if possible.

I guess I also could have looked at who presented the video you linked... 🤔

I sent this to my friend @PaigeWaterbury to review! 😁

@cjms - from my relatively recent experience of getting started with ExperienceBuilder Dev Edition and hosting to an internal web server, this is what I'd review and likely stumble through:

Create a Client ID (Esri docs)
In ExperienceBuilder Dev Edition - Configure the app as desired
In ExperienceBuilder Dev Edition - Save and Publish the app
Create a Web Site (Microsoft docs)
How do I make my website public? (Microsoft docs)
In ExperienceBuilder Dev Edition - Download the experience (do not check clientID box)
In Windows File Explorer and a text editor - Deploy the experience (step 3 in the linked doc was done in step 1 of this bulleted list)
1. note: when you unzip the folder to the web server, the name of the (bold) folder in "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\appName" will be the name in the url (i.e. https://www.webServer.com/appName/index.html" (or something similar depending on your web server/network architecture)
If users get some kind of authentication/log in error (I'm unsure if you will have any restricted/protected ArcGIS Online services in the public facing app) - Add the deployed app URL into the ClientID Settings > Redirect URLs section - see step 7 under Create a ClientID
To add the app as an ArcGIS Online item - see Add an app from a URL
1. I was working in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 and chose: Content > New Item > Application > Web Mapping > paste app URL > give item a name > Save > Mark as authoritative

This is the extent of my (current) knowledge, so let me know how it goes and I'll try to track down some answers!

Yes I have a server, I'm just curious what the next steps are from putting it on IIS to making it public and available to navigate to on AGOL

Do you have a web server you can host it on? The solution to a similar question says there is no way to host it on ArcGIS Online.
