After overcoming the slight disbelief that one still has to download firefox to read the (largely unchanged) help files, I've proceeded an attempt to launch 1.0. I'm stuck at "Provide App ID for Web App Builder" where you have to "manually register the Web AppBuilder in you portal [sic]".
In the "Tip" section, I'm told the vital piece of missing information: "During Web AppBuilder registration, you may input http://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder as URL of the app item." I do this, and the page comes back unchanged with the exception of a new red border around the App ID input box. No errors. No helpful messages. What am I missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Douglas,
You need to register the Web AppBuilder with ArcGIS Online. Log in to ArcGIS.com and click Add Item > An Application. Specify http://[yourmachinename]:3344/webappbuilder as the URL:
After this, you will want to register the app. See the section here under Register an App. For the redirect URLs, you will want to specify your server name for HTTP and HTTPS. Ex:

Hmm... Not sure why you would think this. Firefox?..
You can browse with any browser you choose. Here is the online site with help, API reference and more Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers
Adding the AppId part is a little confusing.
So when you go to your organizational account to you have a "Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS" entry?
If you do then you can just grab that AppId. Just click on the "Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS" item and then on the page that open find the "App Registration" section and "REGISTED INFO" link and click it and just copy that AppId.
If not then here are the steps
The installed help (/docs) still requires Firefox.
I have launched the help from Firefox, Chrome and IE 11 and it works in all three browsers...
I have tried on my own machine and it only works on Firefox for me as well.
My versions are:
Firefox: 34.0.5
Chrome: Version 39.0.2171.95
I am using Firefox 34.0 and Chrome
Version 39.0.2171.95 m.
What URL are you using? If you are using machinename:3344 then do you have JS Node command window open?
Douglas,
You can also register an existing web application if you have any in your organization, and use the app Id from that.
