The Quartz release is the next generation of ArcGIS Runtime with a new architecture, improved performance, and many new features. A preview has been available for some time with the first betas for iOS, Android, and Java. Now public Quartz betas are also available for OS X, Windows .NET, Qt, and Xamarin. The feature set still varies between the SDKs; not everything is implemented everywhere yet. This can be read in the respective release notes.
Focus areas of the Quartz betas are:
- Support for online and offline workflows
- 3D functionality


- Direct integration of raster and KML files
- Windows 10 support
Developers can register for beta tests via ArcGIS for Developers. More information about the ArcGIS Runtime Quartz SDKs is available here.
