With each Survey123 release, we assess the platforms we support and adjust these based on customer needs and technology trends. The purpose of this article is to provide as much advance notice as possible regarding these changes.
Current Survey123 support for operating systems and web browsers is detailed in the System requirements help topic. Below, you will find a list of upcoming changes we plan for the near future.
Internet Explorer and legacy version of Microsoft Edge – January 2021 (Survey123 website and web app)
As of January 2021, Esri will no longer test future Survey123 updates and releases with Internet Explorer 11 or the legacy version of Microsoft Edge. Esri will not fix issues found when using the Survey123 web app or the Survey123 website with these browsers. Users of Internet Explorer or the legacy version of Microsoft Edge are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release of Microsoft Edge, or alternatively other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari.
Android 5.0 – March 2021 (Survey123 field app)
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) was unveiled on June 25, 2014. We will drop support for Android 5.0 in versions of Survey123 field app released after March 2021.
Windows 32bit Operating Systems – 2022 (Survey123 field app and Survey123 Connect)
As of March 2020 Microsoft is no longer offering a 32-bit version of the operating system to OEMs for new PCs. While the exact end of life date for Windows 32 bit operating systems is still unclear, Esri plans to drop support for Windows 32 bit operating systems in Survey123 before the end of 2022. This will affect users of Survey123 Connect and the field app.
Ubuntu Linux 16.04 – August 2021 (Survey123 Field App and Survey123 Connect)
Support for Linux 16.04 will be dropped on versions of Survey123 field app and Connect released after April 2021.
