WAB Vector tile layers

Question

Hello,

In the June 2017 release of ArcGIS Online, Web AppBuilder was listed as now being able to consume Vector Tile Layers in the Basemap Widget. I have tried to add a vector tile layer that I published from ArcGIS Pro to WAB online version and get an error (see image below). Has anyone gotten this to work successfully with a vector tile layer created in Pro? I am currently running ArcGIS Pro 1.4.

Thank you,

Nick

Hi Nick.

Have you managed to configure the Web AppBuilder to work with ESRI Vector Basemaps ?

I received the following response in regards to the bug.

The status of Esri BUG-000106317 - When adding Vector Tile Basemap in Web AppBuilder Basemap Widget an error "This type of layer cannot be used as a basemap." will appear. - that you have been associated with has been changed to Not in Current Product Plan.

Public Explanation: At this time the only supported vector basemaps in the WAB basemap widget are the Esri default basemaps.  If using a custom basemap it must be a raster, not vector, basemap.
