Problems with basemaps in AppBuilder 3.1

MattiasEkström — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:27:51 GMT

Hi,
I've tried the new AppBuilder 3.1 and have problems creating apps with my basemaps. If I'm only using sample basemaps from arcgis online eventhing works, but if I use my basemaps (that worked perfectly in 3.0) the app builder freezez when I go to step 3 to set the extent. se the attached image. And if I'm viewing the application in a browser I can't se my basemaps.

The App Builder should have generated a config.xml file for you in the location you specified for the web server location. It would help if we could see what was in there.

Thanks.

Try changing the map tag to:

<map attributionvisible="false" esrilogovisible="true" openhandcursorvisible="false" scalebarvisible="true" scalebar="metric" zoomslidervisible="false" wraparound180="false" addarcgisbasemaps="false" initialextent="1694414.743585312 7736155.2180623105 1953383.3954153643 7882914.312369778" top="40">

Dasa, I made that change to the map tag and then the application works in a browser (except the initial extent wasn't correct). But the problem in the AppBuilder is still there.
Changing or removing tha initial extent in the config doesn't help either.

Using App Builder 3.1 with a map that is not either in geographic or web mercator is a known issue. It'll be fixed in the next release.

Using App Builder 3.1 with a map that is not either in geographic or web mercator is a known issue. It'll be fixed in the next release.

To get around the issue you need to open the config.xml that gets generated from App Builder and set the wraparound180 attribute to false. There is no way currently to do this directly using App Builder as you can by modifying configuration files.

Do you know when the next release is scheduled?

And I see at least one thing that's incorrect, the wkid of my map services that I use in this application (they are not public) is 3010, and the config file says the wkid of the map is 102100. The initial extent is what I can't set in the AppBuilder for my basemaps so it's the extent that I set with a basemap from arcgis online.
And with that config file I can't see the application at all in a browser, just a blank screen, but I see a spinning clock and then the handcursor when trying to drag the blank map as well as the esri-logo.

I tried making changes to the config.xml and set wkid to 3010 and an initialextent suitable to my basemaps, but it's still the same, both in AppBuiler and in the browser.
