With the ArcGIS Runtime APIs, native 2D and 3D geo-apps can be created for all relevant platforms. The new version 100.14 will be the last version of the 100.xyz series with feature updates. In Q3 2022, we will receive version 100.15 as a Long Term Support (LTS) release without new features, and thereafter ArcGIS Runtime will be elevated to a new level with version 200 including some changes and exciting new features. More information can be found in the blog “ArcGIS Runtime in 2022 and beyond”.
But now back to the currently released version 100.14. It brings the following highlights:
- 3D improvements:
- SceneViews can now display 3D Object layers, Integrated Meshes, and other layer types in any coordinate systems
- High performance improvements through support of Draco Compression and improved calculation of raster and vector tiles in scenes, reducing requests by up to 40%
- Arcade:
- Arcade Evaluator gives developers the ability to execute Arcade themselves, e.g., for validations
- Arcade Console helps debug Arcade expressions
- Attribute rules for Mobile Geodatabases and Feature services are now executed locally. These are thus applied, for example, during edit sessions.
- Indoor
- Various improvements in indoor positioning
- Interactive floor filter for floor-aware maps in the toolkits (.NET, iOS, Android, Java, Qt)
- Mobile Geodatabases can now be created on-the-fly with ArcGIS Runtime. ArcGIS Pro and other ArcGIS Runtime apps can then open, read, and edit them.
- Custom map extent can now also be set programmatically. Previously, the extent was taken from layers or maps and could not be changed.
- Popup managers now support Contingent Values
- Areas of the Elevation Service can be taken offline
- and much more.
More information about all new features in ArcGIS Runtime 100.14 can be found in this Esri Blog and in the release notes of the various SDKs on the ArcGIS for Developers portal.
