Enhancements

This section describes new features and improvements (what's new).

Geometry

Support for true curves in a mobile map package

Features from a mobile map package (.mmpk file) represented with true curve geometry can be displayed, queried, and selected in an ArcGIS Runtime app. Curved geometries can also be used in a variety of GeometryEngine methods:

• Relational operations: contains, crosses, disjoint, equals, intersects, overlaps, touches, and within
• Topological operations: boundary, clip, intersection, intersections, isSimple, simplify, and union
• Measurement operations: area, areaGeodetic, length, lengthGeodetic, and fractionAlong, with distance also supporting curved geometry input if the other input geometry is a point
• Utility operations: combineExtents, removeZ, removeM, removeZAndM, setM, setZ, and setZAndM
• and buffer, densify, and generalize operations that take curves as input and produce a densified result.

ArcGIS Runtime will continue to support curved geometries in more workflows and GeometryEngine operations in future releases.

Imagery

MrSID performance improvements

The rendering performance of MrSID image data has been significantly improved on all platforms supported by ArcGIS Runtime.

Layers

New managed labeling API

In past releases, displaying labels required defining a layer's labeling information using JSON. With this release, the same JSON properties are exposed in a new LabelDefinition API. You can easily create new label definitions, intuitively read and manipulate label definitions, and persist changes in the state of a label definition. The LabelDefinition by-reference API is complimentary to JSON for feature layers and graphics.

Custom layer parameters

Custom query parameters (collection of key/value pairs) can be stored in a web map or web scene and honored by ArcGIS Runtime for the following ArcGIS layer types:

• Map service layer (ArcGISMapImageLayer)
• Tiled map service layer (ArcGISTiledLayer)
• Vector tiled map service layer (ArcGISVectorTileLayer)
• Feature layer (FeatureLayer)
• Table (ServiceFeatureTable)
• Scene layer (ArcGISSceneLayer)
• Image service layer (RasterLayer, ImageServiceRaster)
• Tiled image service layer (ArcGISTiledLayer)

Image tile layer performance improvements

Improvements have been made that reduce the number of tile requests needed by image tile layers when users pan and zoom in maps (2D). These improvements result in less network traffic and faster draw times.

The internal caching mechanism has also been improved, which reduces the amount of file I/O that occurs when working with these layers. This improvement results in better performance when using a hard disk drive.

Maps

API key can be set directly on Basemap

An API key can now be set directly on a Basemap. This allows a Basemap to be consumed with an API key that is distinct from a globally defined key (for the ArcGIS Runtime Environment). Developers can set an API key on Basemap and access it without having set a global API key at all. (Prior this release, Basemap could only use the API key set at the global level.)

Map Viewpoints

ArcGIS Runtime now honors viewpoints stored in web maps and mobile maps. A viewpoint defines a geographic area of interest that may also include a rotation to properly orient the map display. They can be used to define the initial display of the map as well as to provide bookmarks to quickly show specific areas. Viewpoints can also apply an exact display scale to ensure that map contents and scale-dependent layers display consistently on various devices with different screen dimensions. You can use ArcGIS Pro 2.7 or later, or the new ArcGIS Online Map Viewer web application to author maps with viewpoints.

Arcade v1.12 in popups is honored

Arcade v1.12 functions used in popups are now honored by ArcGIS Runtime.

Network analysis

Rerouting improvements

Rerouting with an online route task has been enhanced to handle situations where the user device is positioned off the street network, such as in a parking lot or an off-road area.

Offline

Public feature services can now be edited while offline using a Lite license.

Scenes

Optimized elevation calculations

Elevation calculations have been optimized to improve performance when panning and zooming around scenes that contain data relative to the scene's surface.

Symbols

Support for UniqueValueFromStyle renderers

ArcGIS Runtime can now display content using unique value from style rendering from varied resources, such as scene layers, scene layer packages, web scenes, and mobile scene packages. As described in the web scene specification, UniqueValueFromStyle renders features by mapping values in a layer's attribute to symbols in an ESRI-registered 3D web style. Note that a Point scene layer with this type of renderer can only be published using ArcGIS Pro.

Support for Arcade 1.11 functions in renderers

Runtime now honors Arcade 1.11 functions in renderers.

Utility network

Take utility networks offline

At 100.11, ArcGIS Runtime gains the ability to take certain utility network information offline. Associations are used to describe containment, structural attachment, and connection between features with non-coincident geometry. These can now be queried and displayed with offline data. Simple edits can be made to utility network features, and synchronized back to ArcGIS Enterprise. Taking a utility network offline requires version 10.9 of ArcGIS Enterprise. Offline tracing of utility networks is not yet supported, but is being worked on for a future release.

Named trace configurations

Another new capability in 100.11 is support for named trace configurations. A named trace configuration is a set of tracing parameters that is built with ArcGIS Pro, stored on ArcGIS Enterprise, and published with web maps. Named trace configurations allows developers to write utility applications that are independent of individual customer data models. Tracing capabilities can now be configured rather than customized. Named trace configurations require version 10.9 of ArcGIS Enterprise and can be saved with web maps published using ArcGIS Pro version 2.7 or later.

Support for Swift Package Manager

The ArcGIS Runtime API for iOS can be easily integrated into your Xcode project using Swift Package Manager.

Xcode 13

1. Open your Xcode project. In the menu bar, select File > Add Packages...
2. In the search bar, enter https://github.com/esri/arcgis-runtime-ios as the package repository URL.
3. Optionally, select an option for the Dependency Rule if you want to specify an exact version or a range of versions to use.
4. Click Add Package.

To use the ArcGIS Runtime API, add the following import statement to any of your swift code (.swift) files:

1
import ArcGIS

Dark Mode improvements

The callout has been enhanced to support dark mode. The callout's background and labels now use semantic colors which automatically adapt to the user's appearance preference. You can opt-out of this behavior by setting the overrideUserInterfaceStyle property to display only light or dark appearance.

Support for Macs containing Apple silicon

The ArcGIS framework now contains an arm64 slice for simulators. This will allow you to develop an debug applications using the iOS simulator on Macs equipped with Apple silicon. Also, Macs with Apple silicon can run many ArcGIS-Runtime based apps as-is, without needing any modifications.

Breaking API changes

There are no breaking changes with this release.

Behavior changes

There are no behavior changes with this release.

Deprecations

• Locators created with the Create Address Locator tool (Geocoding toolbox) will not be supported after ArcGIS Runtime version 100.11. With the 100.12 release, only the locators created with the Create Locator tool (Geocoding toolbox) will be supported. The deprecated locator format is composed of the files .loc, .loc.xml, .locb, and .lox. The newer locator format is composed of the files .loc and .loz.

AGSApplicationDelegate.application(_:open:options:) method has been deprecated. Your app delegate no longer needs to invoke this method to support browser-based oAuth authentication. ArcGIS Runtime now uses ASWebAuthenticationSession under the hood which automatically manages the presentation and dismissal of the oAuth sign-in web page.
