Thanks for the clarification, too many things to keep track of sometimes.

Hi, From what I have been able to gather it looks like SDK 300.1 is going to be the NET 10 release. Based on the late April release of 300.0 are we still looking at a full three month time between 300.0 and 300.1 or is the goal to push this out faster to have a NET 10 release available as soon as possible. With Pro 3.7 scheduled for this month as a NET 10 it seems Esri is already indicated this direction. We are testing the 300.0 release, but from a deployment perspective it does not make a lot of sense to have to have laptops updated to NET 9 with this reaching end of life. For many clients they will stick to the LTS releases which would mean waiting for 300.1 so we have the native NET 10 release. @dotMorten_esri @RexHansen

We have forms where a number of fields all inherit attributes from a linear feature they are placed on. For this we do a buffer. This seems like an inefficient approach because I am basically running this buffer to find the nearest pipe for multiple fields. Is there a better design for doing this so I can find the pipe once and just update all the necessary fields.

Make sure to do a full clean and delete the /bin and /obj folders. I have seen this upgrading. If you are trying to debug on a device, you may want to remove the app from device also Failure loading MapView after upgrade to 200.7

@Clubdebambos decided to just update a machine to 3.4. Much easier now

‎10-22-2025

This seemed easy enough. But from what I can see I cannot modify the feature service json with python when the service is on a federated server. This only seems possible on a hosted service. Really annoying, this seems like it should be a simple thing to do

That is a thought, I am already using arcgis to get the item ids of the newly created portal items, might as well throw in some json manipulation to make it worth my while 😀

@Clubdebambos thanks for the reply. Unfortunately those are still not working. I am wondering if they changed something past 3.3 when they modified arcpy. My sddraft looks like this <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimeZoneRespectsDayLightSavingTime</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimeZoneID</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">UTC</Value> </PropertySetProperty> But still "datesInUnknownTimezone": false, "dateFieldsTimeReference": { "timeZone": "UTC", "respectsDaylightSaving": false }, "preferredTimeReference": null, "types": [ Just to confirm these properties are part of the property set that goes with the FeatureServer as below <SVCExtension xsi:type="typens:SVCExtension"> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <Info xsi:type="typens:PropertySet"> <PropertyArray xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfPropertySetProperty"> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>WebEnabled</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>WebCapabilities</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">Create,Sync,Query,Update,Delete,Uploads</Value> </PropertySetProperty> </PropertyArray> </Info> <Props xsi:type="typens:PropertySet"> <PropertyArray xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfPropertySetProperty"> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>maxRecordCount</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">2000</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>enableZDefaults</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>zDefaultValue</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">0</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>editorTrackingTimeZoneID</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">UTC</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>editorTrackingRespectsDayLightSavingTime</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>editorTrackingTimeInUTC</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty>  <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimeZoneRespectsDayLightSavingTime</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimeZoneID</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">UTC</Value> </PropertySetProperty> </PropertyArray> </Props> <TypeName>FeatureServer</TypeName> </SVCExtension> I have successfully added and modified other properties, so it makes me feel like I am not getting an exact match on this property name

Hi, I have a script that automates generating feature services. It all works great except I cannot figure out how to set one property. The feature service has a setting for the preferred time zone for display Which also shows up in the layer definition if it is set "preferredTimeReference": { "timeZone": "Eastern Standard Time", "respectsDaylightSaving": true }, I cannot figure out what the name of this setting should be in the sddraft properties. I have tried many variations and it always comes in null. I assume it is setting of another property set along with everything else, but not matter what I try, for example: <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimezoneID</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">UTC</Value> </PropertySetProperty> <PropertySetProperty xsi:type="typens:PropertySetProperty"> <Key>preferredTimezoneIDDaylightSavingTime</Key> <Value xsi:type="xs:string">true</Value> </PropertySetProperty> It comes in null in my feature layer definition. Does anyone know what the correct setting names are? We are stuck at Pro 3.3 for now, so I cannot use the new features added in 3.4 that would allow me to set via properties. As a suggestion, it will be really nice if pro allowed you to save out an sddraft, like you could in ArcMap

My understanding is that in iOS this is partially by design of the operating system. I look forward to seeing what the development team comes up with, but I think this will be difficult in iOS. What we do in iOS is to set the UIApplication.SharedApplication.IdleTimerDisabled This needs to be done in a code file that is located in the iOS platform folder, because it is iOS specific. We use eventing, when the user kicks off a download process an event fires that calls private static void OnTurnOffIdleTimer(bool isIdleTimerDisabled) { UIApplication.SharedApplication.IdleTimerDisabled = isIdleTimerDisabled; } When the process finishes we turn off. The user does need to stay in the app, but it keeps it from going to sleep. During training we make sure users understand they cannot go do something else while it downloads.

When an offline package is downloaded it includes the offline layers along with the map definition (.mmap file) which includes information such as forms and popups (including the arcade expressions). We have found many cases when a minor change is required to the online web map. Currently, any minor change to the online web map requires the entire package to be re-downloaded. This can be quite inconvenient to almost impossible in some scenarios. What would be incredibly useful is if the SDK provided map update functionality. This would consist of updating the mobile_map.mmap definition for the pre-packaged area based on the current web map without requiring a full download. With this functionality, fixing an arcade expression in the web map would no longer require the work force to download new packages

‎09-03-2025

I agree with the value of this functionality. Having some kind of update offline web map where you pass in a layer to be replaced could be helpful. This could also allow adding a layer to an already offline web map, which I could see a lot of value in.

I am trying to setup doing preplanned area scheduled update based on the capability. It would seem to me this would be associated to the pre-planned area but from what I can find it looks like you do this through the OfflineMapSyncTask What I found is something along these lines: var task = await OfflineMapSyncTask.CreateAsync(map); var parameters = new OfflineMapSyncParameters { SyncDirection = SyncDirection.Download, PreplannedScheduledUpdatesOption = PreplannedScheduledUpdatesOption.DownloadAllUpdates }; var job = task.SyncOfflineMap(parameters); var results = await job.GetResultAsync(); Is this the proper way to download delta changes on the server for a preplanned area that has a daily update?

‎07-21-2025

Something I have noticed is that we are sometimes needing to update just the WebMap part of an offline area (i.e., search change, arcade form change, etc.). All this requires on the server is an update to the Web Map and we do not need to recreate the entire package. Unfortunately, on the client it seems like I need to do a complete download of the entire package. With a large offline area this is prone to error. Is there anyway in the SDK to just download the map changes? If not this would be a good feature

‎06-17-2025

I think will do with the holding event and turn off magnifier. With MAUI it seems one cannot get all the events to be able to move the magnifier and handle the release (get the location of the release). Think maybe you need swift for doing that in iOS.
