Near Me widget not seeing feature layers (imported as custom widget to Enterprise 11.1 ExB)

Hi! My organization is running Enterprise 11.1 and the 11.1 version of Experience Builder (NOT the dev edition). I need to use the new NearMe widget so we followed the instructions here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/11.1/configure-widgets/add-custom-widgets.htm to add the Near Me widget as a custom widget. We used the Near Me widget code found in the 1.13 version of ExB developer edition: https://developers.arcgis.com/downloads/#arcgis-experience-builder

I'm able to see the Near Me widget as an option in ExB, and I can add it to a page. However, when I go to connect it to ANY map, I get the error "This map does not contain any feature layers". Screenshot attached. I even did a test with a new map that just has Esri World Cities in it; still didn't work.

I feel like we are so close to getting this working -- any ideas what our issue could be? Thank you!

Near Me was originally released in the 1.12 version of Experience Builder. ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 is running the 1.10 version of Experience Builder. I can't say for certain what kind of issues you may have trying to run a 1.13 widget in a 1.10 version environment. It may not be possible without extensive customization.

The first thing I would try is to open the manifest.json in Near Me and change the version and exbVersion to 1.10.0.

Thanks! I was told by Esri that we could do this. I'll try your suggestion.

Just updating the post to say that this did NOT work.

Just to be certain, you are using a feature service/layer, not a map service/layer? It can be hard to tell them apart sometimes. https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/faq-what-is-the-difference-between-a-map-service-featur-000027304#:~:text=A%20map%20service%20does%20not,attributes%20of%20a%20feature%20service.

It is possible to convert a MapService to a FeatureLayer within the Web Map Viewer, if you need to do so.

Yep! 100% positive these are feature services.

@ShelbyZelonisRoberson
Hi, Shelby, Is there any chance you can send the ZIP containing the widget?
We need to use it in Portal Enterprise 11.1 as well, I will do my best to make it work.

Thank you,
Yaniv
