The AppStudio Team has released a new Release Candidate build (RC beta build) of ArcGIS AppStudio 5.0 to the Esri Early Adopter Community. As we are just weeks away from the official release of AppStudio 5.0, this is an important time to test your apps with the AppStudio RC beta so we can address any urgent issues if found.
Reminder: This release includes some major underlying changes to AppStudio, the most significant is support for Qt 5.15 and ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt 100.10. (see this blog post for more information) There is a possibility that this update will introduce breaking changes for your current AppStudio apps.
Important: Starting in April 2021 all iOS apps submitted to the Apple App Store must be built with Xcode 12. Support for Xcode 12 is now part of ArcGIS AppStudio 5.0 and the AppStudio 5.0 Cloud Make service. We encourage you to test this new build service for your apps, especially if you have plans to submit or update an app to the Apple App Store in the upcoming weeks or months.
