In ArcGIS Pro 2.1, if I goto to Python Package Manager, and view "Installed Packages", then it indicates that arcgis (the ArcGIS API for Python) is at version 1.2.5. If switch to view "Update Packages", and click on "Refresh" (and provide admin credentials), then it does not show any updates available. Is version 1.3.0 of the ArcGIS API for Python not compatible with ArcGIS Pro 2.1? I'm missing something about how to update it?

Esri Support did not provide any docs. They walked through the process captured in the post above. If you are not even making it that far, then I would suggest contacting Esri Support, if you haven't already.

This is a disappointing. Like Megan, we regularly use Story Maps for presentations to get people excited about the ArcGIS Platform. Being able to navigate the content smoothly, without leaving the framework of the Story Map, having to navigate back/and forth between other browser tabs or windows or loosing valuable screen real-estate, was a great benefit. Not all of the Esri content has been broken yet in our presentations, however, do you know if this same best practice will be applied across all Esri sites eventually? For instance, a quick check of one presentation shows that most of the content is still working, such as the Living Atlas (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/living-atlas/about/), Learn ArcGIS (https://learn.arcgis.com), and product home pages like ArcGIS Pro (https://www.esri.com/en/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/overview) or Collector for ArcGIS (https://www.esri.com/products/collector-for-arcgis). I'll also note that "http://www.esri.com" is the example text in the URL field in (all?) Story Map apps. So, if you enter that URL -- maybe this is your first time with Story Maps and you're just keeping things simple as you explore -- then it won't work. Furthermore, most users won't have any indication as to why it's not working, as there is no warning or error displayed, they are just presented with a blank screen. They would have to be know enough to open their browser's console to find the error (e.g., "Refused to display 'https://www.esri.com/en-us/home' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.") Perhaps Story Maps could being testing the X-Frame-Options setting for a site as part of the validation steps when you're entering the URL? Then you could let users know when they've entered one that is set to sameorigin, or otherwise restricted, and will not work.

Thanks, Atma Mani‌. I have submitted it to the ArcGIS Ideas site: Support multiple authentication profiles in ArcGIS API for Python

‎12-31-2017

In the ArcGIS API for Python, one can store authentication information for a GIS in a file (.arcgisprofile). This profile can be referenced as a handy shortcut in Jupyter Notebooks when creating an instance of GIS, rather than having to enter all the relevant authentication information directly in a notebook (e.g, URL, username, password). Currently, however, .arcgisprofile only supports storing a single profile. Each new profile you store overwrites the previous one. I would like to see support added for saving multiple profiles to .arcgisprofile. See storing your credentials locally in the Python API Guide, for examples of the current implementation. Note that the profile name is already included in what is stored in .arcgisprofile. I often find myself wanting to switch back-and-forth between multiple GIS systems when I am using Jupyter Notebooks. Maybe I want to try something against our Development environment first, and then switch to our Production environment. Or, maybe in the same notebook I am working with multiple ArcGIS Online instances to copy information from one to another, or to compare content. Rather than having to update all the authentication information in each Jupyter Notebook each time I want to switch systems, I would like to just change the profile name. Or, if I have to update a URL for username for a system, I would to do that once, in one place, in the profile, rather than having to update it in each separate notebook in which it might occur. (Note that I only store the URL and username in the profile. I leave the password to be supplied at run-time, due to the insecure nature of .arcgisprofile.)

Is there a way to store multiple sets of credentials in .arcgisprofile? It appears that each call I make to arcgis.gis.GIS to establish a set of credentials overwrites the contents of .arcgisprofile, such that it only contains the more recent set of credentials. Since the file contains the profile name, I'm hoping there is a way to store multiple sets of credentials there, and perhaps someone can point me in the right direction? For instance, I often find myself wanting to quickly switch back-and-forth between our Production and our Development environments in Jupyter notebooks, maybe in the same notebook, or maybe in two notebooks running side-by-side. I would like to do that by simply specifying gis = GIS(profile='prod') or GIS(profile='dev'), rather than having to provide the fuller set of credential information each time. Thanks! -peter

This has been fixed in the 1.3.0 release, and services.list() now works as expected again.

‎12-11-2017

Esri Support reports this is a known issue with version 1.2.4: BUG-000109673: Using the 'services.list()' function from the Python API fails with a traceback error. The bug does not affect previous versions of the API, so one suggested workaround is to use version 1.2.3 instead.

It looks from your screenshot like you are in the Library view. Even in the new version of iTunes, you still need to select your device to view it. Look for the device icon near the top of Library view, and click on it: You should then see your device's view, similar to my original screenshot.

‎12-11-2017

This had me confused at first too! Look for the new "File Sharing" option under Settings, after you select your device: File sharing was basically the bottom half of the old "Apps" settings screen. Hopefully the documentation you cited will get updated with the new terminology in a timely fashion.

Our workaround is to have users create their own public ArcGIS Online account, which we then invite to our ArcGIS Organization. Our instance is configured to support both Enterprise and ArcGIS credentials. They can then login to CityEngine using their non-enterprise account. It is frustrating for them, however, as they end up with content spread across two ArcGIS Online identities in our organization. To help alleviate that issue to some degree, we create an Access and Update group for them, of which both their accounts are members. They then can share content to that group, and work with most kinds of content without having to worry about whom they are currently logged in as. That all generates a lot of manual work for administrators and the end-users, and is not something that scales well and is not easily automated.

nrichards I don't know of another way to get to http://localhost:6080/arcgis/admin/security. Sounds like you have a different, but perhaps related, issue with your upgrade. Was Esri Support able to get you up and running?

Enterprise accounts still not supported as of CityEngine 2017.0

‎04-06-2017

That is were I get stuck as well: This screen is only for AGO-provider accounts. I don't see any option to get to an enterprise login screen, that would allow you to login using your organization's single-sign-on process.

‎03-27-2017

Thomas Fuchs‌ that looks to be a generic Portal URL example. I would like to use CityEngine and enterprise logins via our ArcGIS Online organization, rather than a Portal instance. CityEngine accepts our AGO URL as valid, however, the login window that appears is not the typical one offering a choice between logging in with an enterprise account or an AGO account. Rather, you get sent straight to a login window that is only for AGO accounts.
