Web app builder developer edition without Portal?

[MichaelGinzburg]

Hello,

Is it possible to consume ArcGIS Server REST services with WAB Dev. Edition without Portal?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

No. Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Developer Edition starts by connecting and signing into a portal (either ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS). A Web AppBuilder app always "opens" by loading a web map at runtime. After a web map is opened, you can add web services via a REST URL directly.

Hope this helps,

What Derek said is correct, but for info on how you can use you ArcGIS Services, you may want to look at
