Local Locators not working in 100.7?

KyleGruber — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 21:35:28 GMT

Since upgrading to 100.7, any action I try with LocatorTask inside a MobileMapPackage seems to be bombing with an obscure exception.

System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher => Esri.ArcGISRuntime.ArcGISRuntimeException: Invalid response

Literally, just calling LocatorTask.LoadAsync is causing this exception. Is there something I maybe missed in the release notes? This is with a v2.4 Locator with a Street Address role created in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.3 packaged inside an MMPK created with ArcGIS Pro 2.4.3. Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.WPF 100.7. Project targeting .NET Runtime 4.6.2.

I'll create a repro project when I get a chance.

Thanks as always.

I was really hoping this was something screwy going on in my main (complex) project, but the same thing is occurring in a simple repro app.

I also verified that downgrading to 100.6 fixes the problem.

We are having the same problem with an app we are working on. Only difference is we built a "locator" (not address locator) in ArcGIS Pro with both house address and street range styles.

This has become a show stopper in our development efforts.

John,

Just to clarify, I'm also using "Create Locator", I've been referring to them as "New Style Locators" since ESRI refuses to give us a definitive way to clearly separate locators (only available in ArcGIS Pro) and address locators. The only difference is mine only contains a street address role.

Thanks for pointing that out as I realize the language in my original post was ambiguous, I edited to clarify.

Are you building 32 bit apps?

Re: Local Locators not working in 100.7?

KyleGruber — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 19:24:55 GMT

Mark Bockenhauer,

In my case, yes. Turning off Prefer 32-bit and recompiling does fix the issue, but obviously is not a fix due to the fact that we need to continue supporting 32-bit OSes, and I would expect ESRI would give us a healthy cushion period if you were planning on deprecating 32-bit support from the SDK.

Edit: Sorry if this sounded a bit harsh, I'm not suggesting you were suggesting making apps 64-bit as a resolution, I just wanted to make it clear that it definitely would not be a viable resolution for us (and I'd assume many other SDK clients) at this time.

Kyle,

Thanks for the feedback... I recently heard that the new locators required 64 bit, so that is why I asked. I will make sure the teams see this thread.

Mark,

Thanks for the info, looking forward to clarification. I have to admit that it would be very disappointing if this change was made without any sort of notice or warning. While in an ideal world all applications would be running in 64-bit by now, we all know it's not an ideal world.

Brad Niemand‌ Any input/information you have on this?

Kyle,

Locators created with the Create Locator tool and packaged in a MobileMapPackage are only supported in 64 bit applications. You can still use the Create Address Locator tool to create locators and package them in a MobileMapPackage to be used in 32 bit applications.

Brad,

Thank you for the information. I have to say this is pretty shocking, and disappointing that there was no information or warning about this. The new locators were working fine in x86 up to 100.6. Our mapping application has been completely designed around the new locators, we would not be able to go back to the logic and deficiencies of the address locators. I'm pretty sure Visual Studio 2019 still defaults "prefer 32-bit" when creating a new WPF app, and I'm fairly certain we have a decent amount of clients running 32-bit versions of Windows out in the field.

Thanks Brad,

This also sheds some light on why my developer keeps telling me that runtime needs a *.locb" file. This file is only created in ArcMap when the "create runtime content" is enabled.

We are using Xamarin so we can deploy to different platforms. This will force us to use the less desirable "address locator" in ArcMap. While making the vector tile caches and mobile map packages in ArcGIS Pro. What a convoluted process. And there is zero chance (ok, I should never say "zero") we'll make one package for 64-bit and another for all other platforms.

Do you know if non-64-bit apps built with runtime will be able to use the "locator" format in the future?

Thanks,

John

Kyle,

With the 100.8 release of Runtime, locators created with the Create Locator tool are now supported in 32 bit runtime applications.
