Not a problem. A work around to hosting up copyrighted data could be to create an empty feature class that mirrors the feature classes you are hosting up but have the copyright issues. This way you mirror the schemas and use the empty feature class in the webmap. Once you have extracted the JSON you can do a "find/replace" in a text file on the "empty feature class" rest end points with your data filled rest points. This way no actual company/copyrighted data is hosted up onto online..but you will have to have the schema for these features exactly matched. This still isn't the best solution but could be a possible solution for you and would reduce possible JSON errors and maybe time creating these maps. Cheers Russ ... View more

To be able to identify your features you will need to define a popupinfo for your features. One of the easiest ways to do this is to create a webmap define popups for your features and then extract the webmap JSON. The process to extract the JSON is outlined in the help doc: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgismobile/10.0/apis/iphone/AppGuide/Maps.pdf Also popups and identifying features is also discussed in this thread http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/36981-Identify-Feature-ESRI-ArcGIS-APP-Update Hope this helps you out Cheers Russ ...

Yes correct you could use the API to create your app.. here is a link to the API resource: http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-iphone/api ... View more

What type of server are you working with? is it ArcGIS Server? The mobile content server comes when you install ArcGIS Server 10. This install includes an on-premise �??mobile content server�?� that is a repository for the maps you can open on your smartphone device. These maps will have to be developed in JSON which is the format the webmaps are written in. This doc is slightly outdated but it can help you get your maps onto your mobile content server if you have one. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgismobile/10.0/apis/iphone/AppGuide/Maps.pdf None of the maps you have already created will work on the app. For maps to work in the app they have to be coming from ArcGIS Online or your mobile content server. On online you can restrict the users down to a group of people you want to use your maps or you can have them opened to the public. Also Online allows you to use token secured services if you want to further secure your maps beyond a group permission level. This link will provide you all the information about ArcGIS.com: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/index.html#/What_is_ArcGIS_com/010q0000000t000000/ Here is a sample map for you to check out. Tapping on the features will produce a popup of information. This can be accessed by arcgis online and the app. http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=14579fcbb6074f2b83ffbedfdf07f0a8 Cheers Russ ... View more

The app currently consumes map services, feature services, imagery services and feature collections(map notes, shapefiles, csv and gpx). The map has to be coming from ArcGIS Online or from your mobile content server(ArcGIS Server 10).  Also the app currently does not have any routing or navigation capabilities and the limitation of navigation from the safari browser is probably due to the mobile browser and I am unsure how to work around that. Feel free to post any further questions you have about the app here. Cheers Russ ... View more

The app currently requires you to use map services and feature services within a webmap. These services are published by ArcGIS Server. Map services can be queryed while feature services allow you to collect and edit data. Also you can now import shapefiles/csv/gpx files into arcgis.com/explorer.arcgis.com but you are limited by the size of the files being imported into the webmap. These features are only viewable within the app so no edits can be made to them by the app. Also there is currently no way to export those layers out of the webmap. Here are some videos that will help you walkthrough getting these maps online. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/index.html#/Videos/010q00000003000000/ Once the webmap is saved to your Global Account you can login with that same account and view it under "my content" within the app. You can also share it among other users with global accounts by using groups to keep the map private  to the rest of the online community but still allowing some permitted users to access the map. Hope this helps. Russ ... View more

We are working on an updated version(1.4 webmap) and I will post a link to the updated doc on the this thread. There is a good forum topic within iOS about definining popups for your layers within your JSON. Also if you have any further questions feel free to post them on this thread directly or create a new one and I will try to answer them quickly for you. Cheers Russ ... View more

here you go, I included just the query tasks. This one has multiple query samples included. 1. is using a coded domain 2. is using a coded domain with a prompt value 3. is similar to the first one. 4. Uses a prompt with edit hint "tasks": {"queryTasks": [     {       "displayField": "description",       "name": "Facility Query",       "parameters": [{         "defaultValue": "6",         "field": "facility",         "helpTip": "Dining",         "operator": "=",         "prompt": "Facility Type"       }],       "url": "http://sampleserver5.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/LocalGovernment/Recreation/FeatureServer/0",       "visibleFields": [         "facility",         "description",         "quality",         "observed"       ],       "whereClause": "{0}"     },     {       "displayField": "description",       "name": "PROMPT",       "parameters": [{         "defaultValue": "3",         "field": "facility",         "operator": "=",         "prompt": "enter a value"       }],       "url": "http://sampleserver5.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/LocalGovernment/Recreation/FeatureServer/0",       "visibleFields": [         "facility",         "description",         "quality",         "observed"       ],       "whereClause": "{0}"     },     {       "displayField": "facility",       "name": "Basic Query",       "parameters": [],       "url": "http://sampleserver5.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/LocalGovernment/Recreation/FeatureServer/0",       "visibleFields": [         "facility",         "description",         "quality",         "observed"       ],       "whereClause": "facility = 1"     },     {       "displayField": "facility",       "name": "Prompt+Edit Hint",       "parameters": [{         "defaultValue": "2",         "field": "facility",         "helpTip": "Camping",         "operator": "=",         "prompt": "Enter Facility Type"       }],       "url": "http://sampleserver5.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/LocalGovernment/Recreation/FeatureServer/0",       "visibleFields": [         "facility",         "description",         "quality",         "observed"       ],       "whereClause": "{0}"     }   ]},   "version": "1.3" } ...

Not a problem. Glad to hear your problem has been resolved! Cheers Russ ... View more

What are the versions of the app you are using? and.. Can you share publicly this map for a temporary time? I would like a second to check it out and if it is an issue I will check to see if this issue has been fixed for the next release. Thanks Russ ... View more

There seems to be an issue with the default orange symbol being used for some reason. I just changed the symbol for the orange point symbol layer and saved off the map on my account(I will delete the map once this issue has been resolved) and the points now show up within the app. http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=0214dc1d38ba414c89d67d11ba037ee2 ...

could you post the link or give the map name/tags Thanks!! Russ ... View more

Hey Could you share this map temporarily so I can see the issue? Thanks Russ ... View more

Hey Eric, Could you turn on the feature service capabilities for that service and try using that in your JSON with security turn on and off and see if you get back the correct popup? Thanks Russ ... View more

Hey Eric Here is what I am thinking what the issue could be: It is looking like in the JSON you are using a map service item within your webmap. The service this item is referencing is changing once you go from unsecured to secured and might be breaking something along the way. I think you should add the map service into the webmap directly by going through Add>Search for layers> In a Server(select this from the drop down selection) and paste the unsecured service into the search box below it. Or doing the Add>From the Web>Enter Service URL(doing it this way you can post in basic and digest secured services into the map) Then config the popups like you have done before on the service and save off the map and extract the JSON. Then switch out the URLs(if there is a change to the service url when security is turned on) and create the webmap on your mobile content server. I think this will solve your issue. Let me know if it works out for you. Russ ... View more
