macOS Catalina introduced a new feature called Gatekeeper, which is designed to keep your Mac safe from malicious apps. In order for Mac apps to run without being flagged as potentially malicious, there is a new notarization process in place for all apps distributed outside of the macOS App Store. The new notarization process will be enforced starting February 3, 2020. All currently released ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt installers and sample viewers have not undergone this process, so these released apps will begin to be flagged when opened. The next release of the software will be notarized. For the time being, the installer, post installer, and sample viewers can be run by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > under the General tab, find the app you want to run, and select Open Anyway. These details and more can be found in the Apple documentation.

We're pleased to announce an update to the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt Embedded Linux Beta program: Beta 3.

Beta 3 is now based on the 100.7 Runtime release, so you can use all the great new features from 100.7 on your Embedded Linux devices. Some of the highlights are discussed in this blog.

In addition, the new release of the SDK is built on top of Qt 5.12.6, which means your apps must be built with 5.12.6 or later. Additional release notes can be found in the Qt SDK Guide.

As before, we're interested to see what types of solutions you're going to build. Whether this project moves forward or not depends entirely on your feedback. We're available on the early adopter forums, so feel free to reach out with any questions. We want to know what types of devices you want to target, or if there are devices we don't support yet that you want.

I recently wrote a Code Project article about using Esri's ArcGIS Runtime SDK and Toolkit for iOS to build a compelling augmented reality experience.  The post can be found here.

Let me know what you think!

The latest release of the Runtime SDK for iOS is here (see the release notes, and the general announcement over on the ArcGIS Blog), and it builds upon the foundations introduced in update 6.

Key highlights include adding a LOT of network utility functionality, so that you can now build really powerful field apps that include a full suite of network tracing and more. We've also added the ability to license runtime at all levels using a named user (previously you could only license at Lite or Basic). See the announcement for more details.

Of significance from the iOS perspective:

• Support for iOS 11 is being deprecated. At the next Runtime update, a minimum of iOS 12 will be required.
• Augmented Reality Scenes can be clipped to help them fit better onto a real-world surface.
• The OAuth panel in ArcGIS Online now honors the iOS device's dark mode state.

The Toolkit has already been updated for 100.7.

Download Update 7 today, and let us know what you're building.

The latest release of the ArcGIS Runtime Toolkit for iOS is here. It has been updated to work with the 100.7 release of the Runtime SDK for iOS.

This release includes:

• Bookmarks component and example - The Bookmarks component will display a list of bookmarks in a table view and allows the user to select a bookmark and perform some action.
• Swift 5 - The Toolkit and Example app projects and code have been udpated to Swift 5. As a result, Xcode 10.2 is now required to build the Toolkit.
• Unit Test target - A Unit Test target has been added to the Toolkit project. There are initial unit tests for the new Bookmarks component and a test covering component creation. The goal is for all future components to have unit tests, with tests for existing components being added over time.
• ArcGISARView.clippingDistance - A clippingDistance property has been added to the ArcGISARView. The clippingDistance limits the data display to a radius around the origin camera. The Point Cloud - Tabletop and US - Mexico Border - Tabletop example scenes have been updated to include a clipping distance. Here's a screenshot of the updated Point Cloud - Tabletop scene:

You can find the Toolkit here.

See this blog post for information on the SDK release.

We hope you enjoy the new release! Let us know what you're building with it.

We are pleased to announce that Qt joins the other Runtime SDKs in supporting AR workflows for iOS and Android platforms. The primary workflows supported include displaying 3D scenes on a tabletop, exploring scenes in flyover mode, and displaying 3D GIS content in full scale. More details about the capabilities of AR in Runtime can be found in this blogpost. To get started, reference the details in our Toolkit's readme.

The latest release of the ArcGIS Runtime Toolkit for iOS is here. It has been updated to work with the 100.6 release of the Runtime SDK for iOS.
 
This release includes:
• Augmented reality component and example
• Carthage package manager support
• SwiftLint support for both Toolkit components and the Example app
• Cleanup of the JobManager component for code consistency and style
• Minor internal tweaks

You can find the Toolkit here.

See this blog post for information on the SDK release.

We hope you enjoy the new release! Let us know what you're building with it.

In ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET 100.6 we added a useful API enhancement that can improve the performance of your apps with the new Esri.ArcGISRuntime.RuntimeCollection.AddRange method. There are several classes in the API that derive from the base RuntimeCollection, making this method available on many commonly used types such as GraphicCollection, GraphicsOverlayCollection, LayerCollection, UniqueValueCollection, and ClassBreakCollection.

Symbol files are now available for improved diagnosis of issues when working with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET.

We're pleased to announce an update to the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt Embedded Linux Beta program: Beta 2.

Beta 2 is now based on the 100.6 Runtime release, so you can use all the great new features from 100.5 and 100.6 on your Embedded Linux devices. We've also done some internal build improvements and optimizations which should result in better performance for your apps.

Since the Beta 1 release we've tested on even lower-end devices. We've deployed apps to the NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ developer kit, which is a $99 device.

As before, we're interested to see what types of solutions you're going to build. We're available on the early adopter forums, so feel free to reach out with any questions. We want to know what types of devices you want to target, or if there are devices we don't support yet that you want.
