When publishing a web layer using ArcPro 3.0 and onwards i have noticed that my Basemap Service layer is not being ignored when publishing to ArcGIS Online. According the the online docs I can leave it in my map and it will be ignored during publishing.
My hosted feature service gets created and seems to display without issue but the layer index count is no longer correct. I am unable to build any Survey123 forms on top of this feature service. If i try to submit data in the windows or IOS survey123 app it will just hang forever and I have to force shutdown the app.
