Hi Mike,
Thank you a lot for supporting!
1. Can you give me some approximate date to welcome the UWP version?
Thank you a lot for your answer! This is a very important expectation for me!
Meanwhile I am getting aggravating compatibility troubles in prototyping mode on desktop PC with Windows10 x64/x86 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 C# UWP project using ESRI reference:
Name: ArcGIS Runtime for Windows Store apps (Esri.ArcGISRuntime, Version=10.2.7)
FileType: SDK
Identity: Esri.ArcGISRuntime, Version=10.2.7
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS SDKs\DotNet10.2.7\WindowsStore\
Resolved: True
Version: 10.2.7.0
This same deploying in develop mode to mobile device with Windows 10 Lumia 950 fails at all.
2. MapView.MaximumExtent overstays horizontal limitation: Zoom In/Out and vertical limitation works well, but the map panning is not limited horizontally!
It may be not really an issue for UWP, but I have just started with newest environment and cannot verify if there was already a bug on Windows 8.1 Desktop or Windows Phone.
All I am doing is to assign the Extent from some local or online layer to the map view:
Layer LayerInit = <SomeLayer>;
Envelope MaxExtent = LayerInit.FullExtent;
MapView.MaximumExtent = MaxExtent;
Using scrolling the map stops well on given extent limit.
Using PAN mode the map stops on top and bottom limit, but left or right acts without any barrier.
3. Attempt to read local data from documents library folder fails!
This is important issue looking forward to deploy the app on mobile devices, but meanwhile the ArcGIS methods fail also on Windows 10 desktop (x64/x86) while reading local data on accessible folders regarding to known or picked folders using Windows.Storage namespace!
ArcGISLocalTiledLayer - Layer.InitializeAsync() - “Error reading cache configuration!”
FeatureLayer - await Geodatabase.OpenAsync(Path) - “Unable to open the database file:”
The only working root location I found for local data within ArcGIS SDK is ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder or Package.Current.InstalledLocation, so my prototyping evaluation may continue using application location e.g.:
C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Packages\*_*\LocalState\*
4. Deployment on mobile device (ARM) such as Lumia 950 fails on main InitializeComponent with error: "Cannot create instance of type 'Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Controls.MapView'"
Answered, thank you – await UWP SDK (Quartz)
5. There are any ESRI UWP apps available on the windows store for windows 10 mobile devices supporting ARM type processors yet.
Title (5) got corrected meaning.
No, I cannot find “Collector for ArcGIS app” on Lumia 950 device (Windows 10 mobile)
Best regards, Roman
