Sharing level: public

[NadaKadhim]

Hello everyone,

Hope this message finds you well.

I just would like to ask about the option of sharing publicly of my instant app. This is the first time I use the instant app and when I finished my app I chose this option: sharing level: public.

My question is about people outside my organization if they want to use it, should they have an ArcGIS Online account to access my ArcGIS Instant App or they can access it directly without any registration or having Esri account? Because I want people to use this app without restrictions such as they should have an account to allow them to use my app. 

Thank you.

Nada

Thanks for adding the screen capture, it really helped me figure this out for you, I can see that you are trying to use the Sidebar Instant App.

The link that you sent me is the link that you see when you are configuring the Instant App. You likely captured it from the URL you saw in your browser while you were working with configuring the Instant App.  I won't be able to open that link and that is not the link you want to use.

The link you need to use is the one generated via the Copy Link option or the link you see after you click Launch. Both Copy Link and Launch will return links that you can share with others that will allow public access to your app.

For your app, all of the following will work for public access (I used them myself to prove your app is public). Congratulations on having a publicly accessible Instant App!

https://nk21.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=afa5bbc89ec94f3098e73f47df3dff4d

The other one that will work is the generic ArcGIS.com URL:

https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/sidebar/index.html?appid=afa5bbc89ec94f3098e73f47df3dff4d

Both of these work perfectly, and I was able to see your app, the intro panel, and advance beyond the intro. Here's the proof:

Hopefully this will make sense and get you started along your Instant Apps way. You can prove this works by using the Copy Link or Launch URL in an incognito window.

You are amazing, Bren!

I'd like to use a QR code to share my instant App, in the same way that I do when sharing access to Survey 123.  Is there an option somewhere to share an QR code- or even a tiny URL?  the sharing link here is rather long for something that is designed to be pubic.
