Mocking of types isn't as easy in Swift as it is in other languages like Java or Kotlin. Really the only way is to create a protocol that represents the type you want to mock and then extend the ArcGIS type to conform to that protocol, and also add a mock type that conforms to that protocol. But then you must deal with programming to that interface (protocol) wherever you need that type. It can become quite cumbersome. Note that this isn't a Maps SDK types issue, it's a Swift issue. The best we know how to do is to create protocols. After all, Apple doesn't provide ways to mock Foundation types, etc.

Hello and thank you for the question! Both the Maps SDK for Swift and the Swift Toolkit use DejaVu to mock network request for testing purposes. DejaVu is open source and developed at Esri. On of the big advantages is that you can use real data for the tests. DejaVu will record the network requests and play them back on subsequent test runs, eliminating the need the go back "over the wire", which greatly reduces both the time spent running the tests and inconsistencies due to network issues.

Enhancements in 200.6 Barcode scanning in FeatureFormView The Feature Form component now supports scanning barcodes to input values for a field. When an authored form contains a field with a `BarcodeScannerFormInput`, the field will display a "Scan" button. Tapping the button will display the image from the camera, allowing users to scan a barcode and automatically fill the text field with the result of the scan. image.png image.png TextFormElement in FeatureFormView The Feature Form component now supports displaying text sections which can be useful for providing instructions on how to fill the form. The `TextFormElementView` can contain either plain text or Markdown text and supports the following markdown elements: * Headings * Bold * Italic * Strikethrough * Quoting code * Bullet lists * Numbered lists * Links Example: image.png Support for visionOS The following components have been enhanced to support visionOS: * Authenticator * Basemap Gallery * Bookmarks * FloatingPanel * JobManager * Overview Map * Popup View * Scalebar Issues resolved - #956 Marks incompatible AR components unavailable on Mac Catalyst - #943 `UtilityNetworkTrace` now selects feature results in the map - #951 Fixes incorrect `Compass` rendering when using right-to-left languages - #958 `UtilityNetworkTrace` now automatically zooms to the extent of a trace result - #975 Fixes horizontal scrolling when viewing an attachment carousel on Mac Catalyst while using a mouse with scroll wheel. You can find the Toolkit here. See this blog post for information on the latest ArcGIS Maps SDK for Native Apps release. We hope you enjoy the new release! Let us know what you're building with it.

If you look at the "Terms of Use" in the item's description it says: Important Note: This item requires an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription or an ArcGIS Developer account and does not consume credits. To access this item, you'll need to do one of the following: Sign in with an account that is a member of an organizational subscription Sign in with a developer account Register an application and use your application's credentials. So you won't be able to use an API key. You do have a couple of other options. Depending on your use case, you can hard-code your user credentials in your app and have the service use those. let portal = AGSPortal.arcGISOnline(withLoginRequired: true) portal.credential = AGSCredential(user: <#T##String#>, password: <#T##String#>) portal.load() { [weak self] error in let trafficItem = AGSPortalItem(portal: portal, itemID: "ff11eb5b930b4fabba15c47feb130de4") let trafficLayer = AGSArcGISMapImageLayer(item: trafficItem) self?.map.operationalLayers.add(trafficLayer) } Or, you can follow the instructions to "Register an application". You can also find iOS SDK doc for security and authentication here. Mark

Thank you for your question! The issue you're having is that the url points to a Map Service and the code above is attempting to load it as portal item. You have a couple of options, the first is to use the code you have, but use the World Traffic Service portal item and use an "AGSArcGISMapImageLayer" instead of a feature layer (because the item represents a map service): let trafficItem = AGSPortalItem(url: URL(string: "https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ff11eb5b930b4fabba15c47feb130de4")!)! let trafficLayer = AGSArcGISMapImageLayer(item: trafficItem) The second is to use the url you currently have, but instantiate an "AGSArcGISMapImageLayer", like below let trafficLayer = AGSArcGISMapImageLayer(url: URL(string:"https://traffic.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/Traffic/MapServer")!) map.operationalLayers.add(trafficLayer) Also, it is best practice to ALWAYS use "https" as opposed to simply "http" for security. You will need to log in with a named user to see the data. And if you haven't checked out our new Swift API, you can find it here! Let me know if you have any more issues! Mark

Thank you for your question! You are not missing anything, there is no AR Toolkit component in the Swift Toolkit. However, it is on the roadmap, and we hope to have something released in the not-to-distant future. In order to ensure whatever we build meets your (and other customer's) needs, what kind of AR functionality are you looking to incorporate into an app? Indoors or outdoors? Do you have a specific type of data in mind? Are you going to be taking data offline? How accurate do you need the GPS to be, if you're doing a "real world" experience? Any information you can provide will help us determine the best features to include. Thank you! Mark

I receive the following response from our offline team: One thing to check is that access controls does affect what replicas you see. You can only see your own replicas, so whatever user account was used in runtime to create a replica, you need to use the same account to view the replicas in rest calls. I recall the role matters too, so I think "admin" has extra powers and see all replicas for an AGOL service? Let me know if that helps or not. Mark

The ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift Toolkit contains open-source components that will simplify your iOS app development. It is built off of the v200.1.0 version of the new ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift. It includes: - An architecture based on SwiftUI and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift. - Eleven components, including a compass, scale bar, custom search view, general-purpose floating panel, Utility Network trace tool, floor filter, and popup view. - Support for iOS v15.0 and newer and Xcode 14.0 and newer. There have been a number of improvements since the Beta release, including: - `MapView` and `Sceneview` viewpoint changes are now animated. - The `FloorFilter` component now allows clients to get and set the selected site, facility, and level programmatically. - The `Authenticator` component has been improved based on changes to the Swift SDK. - Many other minor updates to accommodate Swift SDK changes, ease-of-use improvements, bug fixes, and improved behavior. You can find the Toolkit here. See this blog post for information on the SDK release. We hope you enjoy the new release! Let us know what you're building with it.

Hello! Sorry for the delayed response, but we're getting ready to release the v200.1 version of the SDK today and this week has been pretty hectic. I've asked our offline team about the issue you're having and am just waiting for a response. As soon as I hear, I'll let you know. Mark

Hello! Thank you for your question and I'm glad you found a solution. A legend or "layers list" is something that we will be implementing in the Swift Toolkit at some point, but there's no firm release date yet. In the meantime, you solution looks good! You can also take a look at the v100.15 Toolkit's LegendViewController, and the actual code. There are a few things in that code that may be of interest, depending on your requirements: - Including base maps in the layers list - Ensuring the Map and Layers are loaded prior to displaying the list - Displaying symbol swatches for layers - Hiding/showing scale-dependent layers depending on map scale (applicable primarily for Legends). Nice work! If you have any more questions, please reach out! Mark

No problem, glad to help! Let me know when you find out more information and I'll look into it on our end. Have a good week! Mark

Where is the list of replicas being retrieved from? The "Geodatabase" has a "syncID" property, which the doc states is the same as the replica ID described in the REST documentation. This is used by the service that created the geodatabase to uniquely identify it when carrying out sync operations. You can use this ID to uniquely identify the replicas.
