Shapefiles

[mirceamanea]

Hi,
I am looking for a simple solution to display a map from shape files ,
after a lot of search it seems that is not possible without converting the shape files in json or other text format,
any help?

Thank you.

Hi there,

I don't think the ArcGIS Runtime iOS SDK can do this so far.
There are two workarounds:

1. You can add shapefile to the webmap in ArcGIS.com and open that webmap with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for iOS and you'll be able to see shapefile data on your device. However, it's just for viewing purpose, you won't be able to edit them.
You can check this sample:

2. Create a map document using the shapefile, and then create a tile package based on that map document.
