Locate Button Issues with Google Chrome

ChristopherHolewinski1 — Tue, 03 May 2016 13:19:29 GMT

Has anyone else had an issue with Google Chrome updating on Android and it rendering the locate button on multiple ArcGIS web apps completely useless? I recently noticed it since my browser updated. The maps were built with ArcGIS WebApp builder and all worked perfectly fine until this happened. I've since went back to the factory version of Chrome and they started working again, but since they are being pushed out publicly I'd like to avoid this as a solution if it is possible.

Chris,

This is a complicated issue that Google has introduced in its later versions of Chrome. The issue is that they require https to be used for your app. Here is a blog about this issue from the JS API team (and WAB uses the JS API so it pertains to us as well).
