System requirements for 200.6

This page lists system requirements for the 200.6 release of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift.

Developing apps

To develop apps with this release of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift, you need an Intel or Apple silicon based Mac computer running an operating system listed below:

  • macOS 15 (Sequoia)
  • macOS 14 (Sonoma)

You also need a minimum of Xcode 16 and iOS 18 SDK. It is recommended that you use the latest version of Xcode to ensure that you have Apple's latest bug fixes, language support, and enhancements to both the Xcode and the iOS SDKs.

Although Apple's iOS SDK contains simulators to conveniently run and debug iOS applications on your Mac, it is recommended that you test your applications on actual devices to ensure they work and perform as expected. Testing on the simulator alone does not provide a good measure of how the application performs on the physical device.

You need to use the Swift programming language to develop your apps.

Deploying your apps

Apps can be deployed to iPhone and iPad devices running any of the following:

  • iOS/iPadOS 18
  • iOS/iPadOS 17
  • iOS/iPadOS 16

You can run your unmodified iPad apps on Mac computers containing Apple silicon. However, you will need to use Mac Catalyst to customize your iPad apps for the Mac, or to deploy to Intel-based Mac computers. Mac computers need to be running any of the following:

  • macOS 15 (Sequoia)
  • macOS 14 (Sonoma)
  • macOS 13 (Ventura)

Apps built with ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift can be deployed to a wide variety of hardware that meet the software system requirements. The table below outlines the minimum recommended hardware to achieve good performance on iOS devices.

HardwareMinimum Recommended
Processor
  • Maps (2D): A11 Bionic processor
  • Scenes (3D): A12 Bionic processor
  • RAM
  • Maps (2D): 3GB
  • Scenes (3D): 4GB
  • ArcGIS software and connected services

    Use this table to determine the lowest version of the ArcGIS software that supports a specific functionality.
