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.
Hello Dern,
Thank you very much for your reply. I can see your point. However, what should I do now? to make it like the links you sent.
This is my ArcGIS Instant App link:
Please, could you tell me what should I do in addition to choosing this option:
Hi Bern,
I am having a similar problem. I made an Instant App using the Zone Lookup Template. Everything, including the web map, all the layers, and the instant app are shared Publicly. By itself, the web map opens without asking for a password. However, sharing the link to the Instant App still prompts users to sign in. Got any tips??
Link to Instant App:
YES!! That was it. It's a Bing Basemap Aerial Hybrid that wasn't shared publicly. I updated the sharing and now it's working. It's odd because we have allowed the Bing Maps key to be used in our public maps.
Check on your end.
The only difference between the 2 links is that I didn't configure the Basemap Toggle option in the app that worked. It's weird that when changing the sharing level of the app to public I wasn't given the alert saying that this basemap layer wasn't shared the same, like the Instant app treats 'layers' different from 'Basemap-layers', or something.
Also, we use that same Bing basemap item in other Web apps shared publicly without issue. So, I'm curious if it's a specific behavior of the Instant Apps??
Either way, it works now, and good to know for the future!
Thank you and your team for the help!!
