Building upon the 17.1.0 and 17.1.1 releases, today we have updated Explorer for ArcGIS in the Apple App Store with some very important fixes:
- BUG-000106480—Pop-ups are not consistently displaying values when the field alias is different from the field name.
- BUG-000106814—Configuring custom attribute display to show multiple fields returns nothing.
- BUG-000107080—Attachments don’t display for map service layers.
- Feature search can fail when searching integer fields using the Equals condition.
- If the request for an OAUTH page fails when signing in, a message shows instead of a white screen.
We are already planning our next update and it will be coming very soon. A couple of important issues on our pending list include:
- BUG-000106721—Adding shapefiles enabled for but not containing any z-values into a map stops the map from loading. The error message displayed is *The shape must have a Z value.
- Performance improvements to the way Explorer performs queries against feature and map services.
Thank you for your continued support.

How does one Disable http or have http redirect to https with WABde?
Web AppBuilder Developer Edition inherits these settings from the portal it is associated with. To achieve the desired affect you’ll need to disable HTTP in your portal settings. Here is a help link that describes that process for an ArcGIS Enterprise portal – https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/configure-https.htm. It is a similar process in ArcGIS Online (if the option exists in your Organization…depending on a few factors it may not be there as all new Organizations are HTTPS only at this point).
Hi Craig, I noticed I am not able to reply. the Blog returns a ‘sorry , that user name already exists!‘ when I try to sign in. I am using one of our support accounts instead. Our portal is already ‘https only’ enabled and yes, a redirect occurs when first hitting the 3344 port where WABde resides – against the portal chosen, however, one can modify the URI from https to http in the browser, hit enter and WABde loads non SSL (not secure) and does not redirect at this moment: [uri] :3344/webappbuilder/?action=setportalurl. Though if one continues signing into the… Read more »
Hi Michael, I believe I’m following what you’re saying and can replicate the behavior on this end. I’ll inquire with the core development team as to whether there’s an alternative solution to this (i.e. to completely disable HTTP) and post the response here if there is. In the meantime I’d encourage you to open a tech support incident on this subject as well.

I…am so lost. Just to install OpenSSL it appears I also need Perl, among other things?
Hi Ingrid, I’m not intimately familiar with the prerequisites for openssl. I have never been prompted for Perl, but that may simply mean it already exists on my machine. In doing some quick research you may want to look into using an installer like this – https://www.ssl.com/how-to/install-openssl-on-windows-with-cygwin/. It appears you’d be able to install the Perl prerequisites along with openssl. Alternatively it might be a good idea to work with your IT department to help you get what you need.
The directions in this blog post didn’t work for me, I think is was something funky with the files created in openssl as I already had a signed CA Cert. The directions in an ESRI technical support article named “How To: Use a CA-signed SSL certificate for Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)” allowed me to get the WAB Dev Edition secured . Search for it if you get stuck, here’s the current link. https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000014185
