Can I edit MobileWeb apps once created?

Hello,

I followed the below link to store a mobile map definition on our local ArcGIS Server instead of in ArcGIS Online:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgismobile/10.0/apis/iphone/AppGuide/Maps.pdf

After importing I wanted to make a slight change (visibility of one of the layers to false) so found the JSON definition here:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ArcGIS\Mobile\ItemsRoot\c9cb0745276e4c35b082eb4acf7ab6b2\MyCoolMap

Is it ok to edit this JSON? If not is there any way to change a map once it's 'added' to the MobileWeb folder?

Thanks!

Jess

Jess,

That is the correct location to edit the JSON. Just be careful when you are editing this file that your syntax is correct. I alway run mine through http://www.jslint.org just to make sure.

cheers
Gordon

Ok ... thanks.

I didn't know if the import of the JSON did some voodoo and thus editing that file wasn't really allowed. I bumped up on this ...

... and didn't know if my JSON meddling might have been the issue. All I did was change a true to false so don't think it was my edit.
