@Nicholas-Furness thanks for the information this is really helpful. Some follow-up question, in AGOL how long is a job kept around after it has been completed.  If I go the route of   serializing/deserializing  the job and rechecking after the 10 minutes has expired.  At some point that job is removed from the server so I would need to just give up.  What is that time limit? Something else we see in the sync errors is some will give the "Illegal state: Job failed because responses have failed for more than 10 minutes." but other services in the offline map will give "A task was canceled." message.   Is that what would be expected, if so why?  Unfortunately, I am not in a position to know where the edits occurred. Finally (for now);  What about a case where we get a success response from the job, but then we lose connectivity during download of the delta file.  This almost seems like a more likely case in an area of poor connectivity Thanks  -joe btw: I am using the Xamarin Forms API, but based on everything being built on the same core, I am assuming this applies equally well ...

Do any layers point to the same service? Also if my math is correct you are indicating the map has 45 layers (17 worked, 28 failed) , I think that you might want to consider the need for a map with that many layers, I don't think the OfflineMapTask was designed with a map that extensive in mind (not saying that it should not work) ...

Hi @ChristaHash we have been trying to create a few different locators but not with those types (we are only at 107), we are able to get the ones built in ArcMap to load although we are not getting results but the one from Pro fails when we just call LocatorTask.CreateAsync. I did just update to 100.8 and we are getting things to load successfully and even getting results (not always correct).  So even though this uses a point address locator, it would appear to require 100.8 One thing we have tried is to take the premise data we have and reverse geocode it, at a rather hefty fee, hoping that would give us the requisite data.  However, we found that reverse geocode does not really return the data in a way that can be simply used in building a Locator.  Mainly, we don't get street names broken out in a separate field.  I have looked through the rest documentation, and it does not seem that a street name is a value that can be returned.  This seems a bit odd (and I notice Google will return, so not sure why esri would not), as this seems to me to be a crucial piece of individual information. Initially we have Parcel data, but we did not build a locator with Parcel role, we have built a point locator.  A little discouraging that it required 100.8, when the documentation would seem to indicate that only 100.5 is required     ...

I've seen a similar error (or maybe the same one).  I have never truly tracked it down, based on description appears it wants to try to start the location data source a second time.  Not sure if you are just using on board location or have external. A couple things I have done, is when using an external GPS I make sure to set the LocationDisplay.DataSource on the main thread //LocationProvider.LocationDataSource is a pointer to an external custom LocationDataSource MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() => mapView.LocationDisplay.DataSource = LocationProvider.LocationDataSource);  Also make sure to wrap starting in a conditional, to be sure that we don't send a StartAsync after it's running if ( !mapView.LocationDisplay.DataSource.IsStarted ) { mapView.LocationDisplay.IsEnabled = true; }  Good luck ...

Assuming @NathanCastle1 is correct, which is what I also assume and why I asked about what is in the Xaml.  I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the DataContext is being set in the Xaml also.  However, without seeing the Xaml I cannot be sure exactly what is being done but I am going with this assumption. One nice MVVM approach to adding functionality, imo, is using TriggerActions.  Especially if you are not using an external library to handle Commanding and Eventing Based on the code you have above we could create an Action that handles the GeoViewTapped and then creates the point. public class CreatePointAction : TriggerAction<MapView> { private static bool _doubleTapped; protected override void OnAttached() { base.OnAttached(); if (!(AssociatedObject is MapView mapView)) return; //This seems silly to me, but a GeoViewDoubleTapped fires both a tapped and a double tapped. //This indicate was double tapped mapView.GeoViewDoubleTapped += (s, e) => { _doubleTapped = true; }; } protected override async void Invoke(object parameter) { await Task.Delay(250); if (_doubleTapped) { _doubleTapped = false; return; } if (!(AssociatedObject is MapView mapView)) return; if (!(parameter is GeoViewInputEventArgs args)) return; //I'm just going to assume only the one layer var graphicsOverlay = mapView.GraphicsOverlays.FirstOrDefault(); if ( graphicsOverlay == null ) return; AddPoint(graphicsOverlay, args.Location); } private void AddPoint(GraphicsOverlay graphicsOverlay, MapPoint mapPoint) { var pointSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol { Style = SimpleMarkerSymbolStyle.X, Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red, Size = 10.0, Outline = new SimpleLineSymbol { Style = SimpleLineSymbolStyle.Solid, Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red, Width = 2.0 } }; // Create a point graphic with the geometry and symbol. var pointGraphic = new Graphic(mapPoint, pointSymbol); // Add the point graphic to graphics overlay. graphicsOverlay.Graphics.Add(pointGraphic); } } To wire this in we add the Action as an EventTrigger in our MapView definition <esri:MapView x:Name="MapView" Map="{Binding Map}" GraphicsOverlays="{Binding GraphicsOverlays}"> <i:Interaction.Triggers> <i:EventTrigger EventName="GeoViewTapped"> <local:CreatePointAction></local:CreatePointAction> </i:EventTrigger> </i:Interaction.Triggers> </esri:MapView> Similar to what you are already doing you can setup the view point in the View constructor.  But we do not need to instantiate the VM, this was done and we are not using the VM in any code in the code behind public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); MapPoint mapCenterPoint = new MapPoint(-117.6709, 35.6225, SpatialReferences.Wgs84); MainMapView.SetViewpoint(new Viewpoint(mapCenterPoint, 100000)); } } And in the ViewModel the map initialization can be done as before public class MapViewModel { protected GraphicsOverlay EditGraphicsOverlay { get; } = new GraphicsOverlay { Id = nameof(EditGraphicsOverlay) }; public MapViewModel() { SetupMap(); AddGraphicsOverlays(); } private void SetupMap() { // Create a new map with a 'topographic vector' basemap. Map = new Map(BasemapStyle.ArcGISTopographic); } private void AddGraphicsOverlays() { if (!GraphicsOverlays.Contains(EditGraphicsOverlay)) { GraphicsOverlays.Add(EditGraphicsOverlay); } } } With that we should have everything wired up.  There is no functional code in code behind all logic is in the Action and ViewModel.  The Action could be reused in another project without need to change anything, just include the definition in the MapView xaml ...

What is in your Xaml?  Somewhere you must be setting the data context of the view.  This would be why it runs the constructor.  Are you using any MVVM libraries or just core WPF? ... View more
