Wgs84 basemap won't display in Scene

Question

I'm trying to load a Wgs84 based basemap and display it in a SceneView. For example, trying to use this basemap: http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ESRI_Imagery_World_2D/MapServer My code looks like this: var server = new Uri("http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ESRI_Imagery_World_2D/MapServer"); var sceneLayer = new ArcGISTiledLayer(server); await sceneLayer.LoadAsync(); myScene = new Scene(new Basemap(sceneLayer)); ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Yields a blank globe. This same map loads and displays fine on a MapView. Also, if I use a WebMercator based map like this: http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer both the MapView and SceneView are fine. Any help?

After all these years,  Wgs84 basemaps  still is not supported? Javascript SDK is supported.

Hi David,

The ability to use WGS84 basemaps in a Scene/SceneView is on the roadmap for an upcoming release. I'm unable to give a specific date yet.

Cheers

Mike

That's very disappointing. Any idea when this support will become available?

Unfortunately, I'm trying to use a map off of a private server, which is only has the older WGS84 maps.
