Hi, I just uploaded a mobile map package, then downloaded to my explorer on an ipad. When the download completed it was labelled as an invalid map and when I tap to open I get this message: "unable to open map the package is required to be unpacked into individual files before use".
I also tried loading the mobile map package using Itunes. I got the same message with that one.
Here is a link to the package. https://ssp-community.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=bc7959d403824b769d176d7b764c44a1#overview
Please help.

Sam,
Collector as part of the Aurora beta is improving and enhancing the capabilities for taking a map offline. Once that work is completed we will be putting it into a future version of Explorer.
We will also continue to improve the 'roundabout' process of using ArcGIS Pro to create an offline map.

Hello Joel, I have also had this problem and am attempting to make map tile packages now to see if it will allow me to view imagery. I am however confused as to why the latest entry in the version history for Explorer on the app store clearly says that raster data can be used offline (see below). It just seems a little disingenuous. It also seems silly that Collector can easily download web maps with cached imagery while explorer requires such a roundabout process to view maps offline - do you happen to know if the ability to download maps from ArcGIS Online within the Explorer app is coming or being worked on?

Hi Again, Joel. I am a bit confused. I started out with the MMPK file but it did no work because of the raster layers. Are you saying that there is a way to create an MMPK then import individual TPK files into the MMPK?
Bob Christensen
With current version of Explorer you cannot side load TPKs -- although this may come with a future release. You can side-load MMPKs that contain TPKs (see Make offline maps—Explorer for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for sideloading).
Hi Joel, thanks for the help. Is it possible to load a .tpk to my ipad using itunes file sharing? I really need a solution that does not require internet to get started so I can do this kind of thing while out in the field.
I tried copying a map tile package for my project using file sharing but I do not see anything in either explorer or collector and wondering if this is supported or if I need to do something different.
Thanks again.
