Hi @Gisbert61 - thanks for your feedback. We are relatively new into supporting the Apple Watch. We added support for tracking into ArcGIS Tracker due to specific customer asks and brought that forward within Field Maps. We document the requirements for watch here, and require WatchOS 6 or higher: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/faq/requirements.htm Would really like to gather feedback on what you feel would be useful to do on the watch. Some of our team ideas include: - Display of compass bearing and direction when using the compass tool - Start/Stop streaming when capturing line and polygon shapes - Display of GPS information (what is inside of the GPS banner today) - View/Change working status when Workforce is added to Field Maps Let us know what you would like to see and how you feel it could benefit your workflows. We want to make sure to focus on purposeful enhancements.

Hi @Sietse_de_Haan, Thank you for your post. Unfortunately this is a known limitation right now and is an issue within the ArcGIS Field Maps app, Collector app, and underlying ArcGIS Runtime SDKs as well. You may find that you won't be able to identify features in layers that are grouped as well. We are working to resolve this. The resolution will be in a future version of the ArcGIS Field Maps app. Thanks!

As mentioned above, YES, Field Maps is replacing Collector and we have announced deprecation plans for the end of next year for the iOS and Android apps. If you are looking for information about migration, please give our migration guide a read:https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/en-us/media/pdf/implementation-guides/field-maps-migration-guide.pdf Thanks!

That's great to hear @SteveTaylor6! Thank you for the confirmation that Field Maps is supporting your data collection needs. Hopefully you can take advantage of the new capabilities Field Maps can bring to your field workflows (like smart forms) next year.

Hi Brooks, You are correct that there will be no new future development within Collector. That goes for map viewer capabilities and any other enhancements. Our focus is on advancing data collection enhancements within ArcGIS Field Maps. We are working closely with the team building the Map Viewer beta and you've probably noticed already that the new smart forms you create within the Field Maps web app are supported in both the mobile app but also in the map viewer beta as well. We are also supporting group layers in Field Maps as well. Perhaps the biggest feature that is not yet supported in Field Maps yet are pop-up elements. This functionality is not yet available in the underlying ArcGIS Runtime SDKs that are used by Field Maps but once they are addressed then we will add support. We have not documented capabilities within Map Viewer beta that are not supported in Field Maps yet. This is a great idea and would be quite useful. I'll share this with our doc team.

It will be supported with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 in December. We'll provide more information on when/where to get the Enterprise patch when we release with ArcGIS Online. Look for the week of December 7th. Thanks!

It's coming in Field Maps. You'll see it on iOS in December and then Android in 2021. Here is a preview of Dark Mode with data collection. It really does make the form pop.

Thank you for the additional detail Ryan and I'm sorry that this has not been resolved. From the other GeoNet post I was able to trace your bug number in the system and view its details. I see that it was escalated as well. You do not need to submit another bug report, I will make sure this issue is re-opened as it has definitely not been addressed. BTW - ArcGIS Field Maps is built using the latest, released version of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK and Explorer/Collector are using older builds - this could account for the change in behavior. We will need to debug and see if the issue is in the underlying Runtime SDK or if we can resolve it at the app-level. We may be reaching out to you for access and map. Thank you for your patience.

Our cross-platform apps Survey123 and QuickCapture are available for Windows and new functionality is being added to them with each release. Collector Classic and ArcGIS Explorer are still supported. Also please look for new GPS capabilities coming in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 at the end of this year. With that said, we are not actively developing new, native mobile applications on the Windows 10 platform at this time. There is no development planned for ArcGIS Field Maps on the Windows 10 platform. If you are in need of Field Maps on Windows 10, please contact your account manager so that we can gather this information. Thanks!

Hi Will, Thank you for your post and recommendations. We greatly appreciate your feedback and want to make sure we support you and your use of ArcGIS Field Apps moving forward. We have not set any official dates for the retirement of Explorer, Collector and Tracker at this time and retirement does not mean that we will remove apps from their respective stores either. We will leave the apps in the store with their current listings beyond retirement. We left the ArcGIS app (Esri's first iOS and Android app in the stores for 3 years after it was retired and only pulled the listings when it could no longer be installed on devices and was to be removed by Apple themselves). We are seeking customer feedback and considering retirement time frames at this time. Please note the FAQ section of the Introducing ArcGIS Field Maps for the latest comments on this. We have recently updated both Collector and Explorer with critical bug fixes and will continue to do so throughout the time span that they are supported. All new development is focused on ArcGIS Field Maps and our consolidation efforts. With required OS version support, there are a number of key considerations that we considered when making the decisions for ArcGIS Field Maps: Adoption number for existing apps - over 83% of devices are using iOS 13 or higher with Collector, Explorer and Tracker and 81% are Android 8 or higher. With iOS 14 we are already seeing rapid adoption in store analytics. Devices supported with a specific version requirement - iOS 13 supports devices back to iPhone 6s (released in September 2015). Technology advancements with OS versions - there were significant security improvements with iOS 13 that were a contributing factor. We have a number of customers that VPN devices inside of their network and IT departments are requesting our app source code be scanned. Dated components can be flagged as high or critical vulnerabilities. This is an important factor for all of us. We will require iOS 13 and Android 8 (API 26) when we release our first version of ArcGIS Field Maps at the end of October. We are considering dates for retirement of the apps at this time (no decisions have been made yet) and retirement does not mean removal from the Apple App Store or Google Play - we will extend the time these apps are available in the stores beyond their retirement. I do encourage others to provide their feedback on timelines and needs like you have Will. We do not want to disrupt field seasons, planned project deployments, and device procurement cycles as best we can and we want to give you plenty of time to migrate to new systems (both hardware and software) and we can't do that without your feedback. Thank you!
