This is exactly the same question I came here to post --- luckily I did a search first and found someone has already asked this question. Surely lots of developers will face this problem. I use "ArcPy + ArcGIS API for Python" to connect my Web GIS and local enterprise GIS database and GIS tools, to automate my workflow. I will need to do some data exchange between two python data models (feature, featureset, table, geometry, etc.). I can't help thinking the following questions: Why ESRI doesn't provide some helper modules to in either or both API to facilitate the data exchange? Why a separate Python API from ArcPy? will it be more logical to expand existing ArcPy to support the online GIS (ArcgIS Online and Portal)?

Hello folks, Can anyone give me a clue how to access token using ArcGIS Python API? I believe a token was generated when instantiating the GIS class as follows: from arcgis.gis import GIS gis=GIS(url="https://...",username="",password="") I thought the token should be stored somewhere in the gis object, I looked up and down the list of properties and methods but nowhere can I find it. Any advices and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks Simo

It seems the Python API can't return layers and tables in a feature service if a proxy is used when instantiating the arcgis.GIS class. If I don't use proxy in the arcgis.GIS class instantiation, it works OK. but we are required to use proxy to visit internet in our organisation.... Please see the screenshot in the attachment. Is it only me or I hit a bug in the API?

Thank you Tina, Good to know that this is all possible ---- disappointingly, it seems the local distributor does not know this. Hopefully our issue will be resolved soon. Cheers, Simo

Hi folks, Is it still possible to add an AppStudio for ArcGIS standard license in your organizational AGOL subscription? We are told by the ESRI AU that we have to get an ArcGIS Developer Subscription (ADS) (old EDN). and I am really puzzled: How on earth can developers upload an app to their organization when they are using ADS which basically requires the developer to create a sperate AGOL site?? (My organizational account won't be allowed to activate the ADS license) This sounds a bit odd to me, but we are reassured there's a change in relation to AppStudio Standard license. We used to have a standard license in our organizational AGOL subscription, that worked really well for me as a developer, but it expired a couple of days ago. we tried to renew and was told only ADS is available ... Am I alone on this issue? Your comments and thoughts are highly appreciated. Thanks. Simo

If I dig a little bit deeper, I can see there is a javascript application framework between WAB and ArcGIS Javascript API. The document of this "framework" is very sparse, this will make it hard for non-expert developers to understand the apps generated from the WAB when needed to do any substantial customization. This is another matter anyway. Talking about the mobile friendly framework, the one WAB uses seems heavy for a Mobile-first web app. the sheer zipped size of it is more than 8 Mb, more than 20 Mb if it's expanded, while other popular frameworks, such as React, Vue Js, their sizes are less than 1Mb. Many modern JS frameworks explicitly claim to be mobile-first. I am not an expert JS developer, without any real experience with React and Vue mentioned above, it's a long shot for me to compare these frameworks with WAB framework... I just feel there should be a template in WAB, which is a mobile-first template, and optimised for mobile phones. the difference between mobile phone and desktop computer are not only in the screen size which responsive web design is trying to adapt seamlessly. Google's Progressive Web Apps (PWA) sounds a step to the right direction.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, If a native app is needed, AppStudio can be a very good option. But I doubt that native apps will ever replace web apps, and I won't rule out the other way around since web apps seem to have overtaken most of the native apps on desktop computers. Apple, Google and Microsoft like their app stores, because they can make money directly or indirectly by controlling the app distribution. Purely from a technical point of view, web app is internet's own child, and it's meant to be running cross-platform. So back to the topic, by saying MOBILE FIRST, I mean when a web app is designed, the designer should assume the users will first use it on their mobile device. Therefore, the mobile users' existing experience with native apps should be considered, such as card-style (rather than popups), gestures support, etc. How to adapt to big screens on the desktop computers should come second. This is what I believe at the moment, I am ready to be convinced by other ideas Moxie Zhang

When I use WAB, I find its themes are very good for working on desktop or tablet screens, but they are not the best themes for the smartphone screens, although they can to some extent adapt to the small screens due the responsive design web design. I just want to discuss, is it time that for WAB to have some themes particularly designed for mobile phones. light-weight, modern, very close to native apps looking and feel? I am developing some hybrid apps for smart phones, sometimes I need to load web apps in the WebView control in the native apps only finding the web apps built with WAB are too heavy and clunky... obviously the templates (themes) in WAB don't have a "Mobile First" design. with smart phones are taking the world, mobile first is one step further than responsive design, I think.

Are there any considerations of assigning an area to a team/group? There will be cases that a team needs to inspect or assess an area, for example, in the disaster recovery scenario, teams are formed to work in specific areas.

What's new—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS (December 2017) Two new editing configuration options are available for hosted feature layers and hosted feature layer views, giving you more fine-grained control over what operations editors can perform. This raised my hope, but it is proved not helpful for this particular situation. Surely many users will need this feature to symbolize the assessed objects to show the progress in the field... Arcade expression is a new hope, but it can't extract the related data, just not yet.

Hi Folks, Does anyone happen to know the answer for the above question? To distribute the app built using AppStudio for ArcGIS 1.4.18 and the ArcGIS runtime version 10.2, what's the minimal requirement for the android and iOS operating system? I know the minimal OS requirement for the AppStudio Player, but I assume once the app is built into native code, the system requirement should be less strict... Any information on this will be highly appreciated.
