ArcGIS Maps SDKs Native Blog

The ArcGIS Maps SDK for Local Server has been deprecated and will be retired in 2030. If you have applications that use Local Server, it is time to start planning your migration to the use of core capabilities provided directly by ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps.

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Local Server 200.6 is an incremental compatibility release that provides support for geoprocessing and map packages created with the latest version of ArcGIS Pro, 3.4. You can use versions 200.0-200.6 of the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for .NET, Java, and Qt with this release of the Local Server SDK.

The latest update to the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps is now available, including the brand new ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter!

With the recent long-term support (LTS) release of Java 21, JavaFX 21 and support for the new JDK coming in the 8.4 release of Gradle, the Java Maps SDK team have been busy testing our 200.2 release to make sure everything is working correctly with this latest LTS version of Java. 

With testing successfully completed, we are pleased to announce the 200.2 release of the Java Maps SDK supports Java 21.  Our system requirements page has been updated and our Gradle starter project has also been modified to ensure it is compatible with Java 21.

The upgrade path for developers wanting to switch to Java 21 is very simple and only the following versions will need updating in your Gradle build scripts:

• Gradle 8.4
• JavaFX Gradle Plugin 0.1.0

So, if you want to use Java 21 in your Maps SDK apps, it’s a great time to upgrade to our 200.2 release.
