For the map that is causing the app to crash does it contain imported shapefiles or csv with a custom renderer? Thanks Russ ... View more

I couldnt repro your issue with the map I added into your group. Your original map was throwing the error in Android when I tried to open in. Have you tried re-saving that version of the map? Thanks! Russ ... View more

So i resaved the map in explorer.arcgis.com and the issue seems to have resolved itself. The new map is in the group and both apps can view it without any error message or crash. Cheers Russ ... View more

Can you share your map to a group and invite mobileios into it and I can check it out on the iPad and an Android device. What version of the iPad are you using and what Android device are you seeing this issue with. Thanks Russ ... View more

Can you invite mobileios to a group and I will check out the map.. If you can center the map on a feature that repros this issue that would be great. The second issue you listed: Is there a editable point feature service present in the map? This is required to make the map "Collector" ready and the user should see it in their content once they login. Please share this one with me as well and I can take a look. Thanks! Russ ...

Are you using hosted services? If you are using a single symbol with a hosted feature service the template on the rest endpoint will still have a name "New Feature" and you cannot change this value which is why you are seeing New Feature.  if you host the feature through desktop you will see the layer name instead of "New Feature". Let me know if you have any further questions. Russ ... View more

Thanks for the feedback Peter. Just a couple comments below to some of the issues/limitations you reported. Currently the Collector does not support "not a null field" The tracking layer will show up in the "Collect a Feature" pick list when he layer is set to visible. This is a known limitation but we are working towards improving this experience. The rotation you see on AGOL can be a browser limitation. I have noticed different browsers not honoring image orientation that are posted by an iOS device. Are you using IE? Offline is on our radar and will be coming in a future release. Thanks again for the feedback Cheers Russ ... View more

Hey Ben, Thanks for the great feedback. We are currently working on improving the opening maps on phone experience in our upcoming update.This will solve Difficult sending maps to the phone & login experience. We are also working on improving our documentation. Is there anything specific you would like to see added to the current documentation? The app will still be focused on point data collection in this coming update but we do have plans to include line and polygon collection in a future update. We are also working towards supporting offline workflows which will also be in a future release of the app. Cheers Russ ... View more

The Collector apps currently support point feature services only in this initial release. Cheers Russ ... View more

Can you edit your link to look like this: http://org-name.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=item-id-here or use the arcgis-collect:// link. The iPhone will work with both of these URLs. Hope this helps you out. Russ ... View more

Can you send yourself a email to the Gmail account using a URL like this: http://org-name.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=item-id-here this will kick off the browser and be able to redirect the map to the Collector app if it is a collector ready map with application properties. Thanks Russ ... View more

You can add attachments if your feature service has attachment capabilities enabled. If you go to the REST endpoint for that feature service you should check "Has Attachments: True". If this says False it means your feature class in your geodatabase does not have an attachment relationship created. You will need to create this relationship and the re-publish your service to gain this attachment capability.  Cheers Russ ... View more

Hey Peter, I noticed the HTC browser acts differently compared to the other browsers. I noticed that it is prompting you to open the map in the ArcGIS for Android app or browser. My Exact workflow. 1. Email myself the map details URL. Here is a sample http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id="ENTER MAP ID HERE" 2. Tap on the link and the option to open in the old app or browser will pop up. Select Browser and you can choose Always or Just Once. I tested both workflows and both worked. Setting it to Always will lower the number of prompts you get. 3. Prompt to authenticate on the mobile browser 4. After successful login on the AGOL site the Collector will be launched and be in the process of opening the map. This will then redirect the map to open in the Collector because it has been tagged with the application properties and has an editable point feature service present. Hope this helps you out.
