I set up a Group called "ESRI-MCGOV AGOL Tech Support" and invited you

My cohort here in DOT/DTE, Dan Higgins, is also a member

I will put my maps there that are not working in collector and Exploror on the iPAD

I am running Collector v10.2.7 build767 and Explorer v

We also had another question. .....

Is there a way to "HIDE" the service paths and sources from showing in the "Details" page of the map?

There are some services we are running open to "Everyone" so that our mobile consultant users and our inside survey crew can actually edit our database directly from the field.

We DON'T however, want anyone but our consultants to edit.

We haven't found way to isolate an ESRI anonymous user from copying the source path to place the Feature services directly in their own map.

We can control our WebMap and Web App access, but not the Feature and Mapservices access on the public server if someone actually has the path info to our public server

I see you are in Russ' hands for the questions on your particular maps. For iOS version, yes, iOS 8 is supported for the Collector and Explorer apps, and both of those apps are regularly updating.

Can you share your maps and services to a group and invite Collector4ArcGIS to that group and we can look into what the issue may be.

Thanks

From below-Kylie

Taken straight from the help:

"Collector for ArcGIS focuses on data collection and provides a streamlined experience for working in the field, while the ArcGIS app focuses on general map use, query, and feature editing."

For a bit more info, you can also look at the differences with the ArcGIS app and Explorer, and many of the same differences apply with the ArcGIS app and Collector:

"ArcGIS for iOS and Android were the first native viewers of maps hosted in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. Explorer for ArcGIS is the modern, native experience for working with your organization's maps. As the ArcGIS system evolves, additional functionality will be brought into Explorer, while the ArcGIS for iOS and Android apps won't be updated with new features and functionality."

Kylie,

Lately I have gotten back to working with these three apps. ARCGIS, Explorer, and Collector

I notice recently that ALL my maps basically crash whenever I open them. I have NOT updated to iOS 8 as I haven't seen clear reports that the ESRI apps have been updated.

We are using heavily loaded maps right now (7-14 features editable in each maps with probably 40+- layers in a storm drain map for Montgomery County MD)

Any tips?

Is iOS safe to operate the Apps

The same maps open fine a month ago

In the last month we have added v10.22 services (we were only running v10.0 & 9.3 services before

One last question, does the collector and Explorer app update ?
