- Building Native Cross-platform Apps with AppStudio for ArcGIS
March 8-9, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Royal III, Riviera Palm Springs
In this two-day hands-on course, attendees will learn how to build multiple native applications containing UI, mapping and GIS capabilities. We will start by using the templates and samples to configure the fully functional apps to meet our needs without any coding. Once you get comfortable with configuration options we will dive deeper to look at the code behind and learn how to customize them further. We will also build new applications from scratch using very friendly QML and JavaScript languages. Since AppStudio is a cross-platform app building solution, the applications you build will be run or deployed on both desktop platforms such as Windows, Linux, and macOS machines, and also on mobile platforms like Android and iOS. If you are a pro looking to learn new tips and tricks or if you are looking into building apps for the first time this workshop will surely help you both understand the concepts and give you lots of hands-on experience.
It is required that you bring your own laptop (Mac or Windows) for development and a smartphone or tablet (iOS or Android) to test the apps. HTML/JavaScript or hybrid app development experience, and light reading on QML is helpful, but not required.
Technical Sessions
Technical sessions are a great way to learn about AppStudio for ArcGIS, where the subject matter expert from the development team will cover from product overviews to a deep-dive on specific workflows.
Thursday, March 12, 10:30 am – 11:30 am, Mojave Learning Center
Join this session to learn how to build cross-platform native apps with AppStudio for ArcGIS. You will learn how AppStudio provides a complete suite of productivity tools to build, test, and deploy apps for iOS, Android, Win, Mac, and Linux. This session targets non-developers, scripters ( Javascript, Python) and developers of all levels who want to learn how to build native mapping applications. We will demonstrate how you can create a custom app by configuring a template and introduce you to programming with QML and the Qt Creator IDE.
Offering 1: Thursday, March 12, 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm, Mesquite C
Offering 2: Friday, March 13, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, Primrose C-D

By utilizing the AppStudio Player you will be in full control of who has access to the apps (both native and web), including the ability to push updates when needed.
Thursday, March 12, 9:30 am – 10:00 am, Support and Services Spotlight Theater Esri Showcase
With the ever-growing popularity of mobile apps, the need for companies to interface with their audiences via handheld devices is greater than ever before. Developing native apps is complicated by the fact that there are two different major app platforms – iOS and Android – each requiring its own codebase in order to run. Developing with a cross-platform programming language can help simplify the development of an app that will run on both major platforms.
This session will demonstrate how AppStudio for ArcGIS can be used to develop geo-enabled cross-platform natives app from a single code base, allowing companies to engage their targeted audiences using less time, resources, and code.
User Presentation
Thursday, March 12, 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm, Mesquite B
Various operations require immediate attention to trigger the sequential flow of tasks by decision-makers in real-time. Instances such as field operations, distribution management, asset maintenance, task assignments, work order status alert, emergency response and periodic monitoring etc,. With the rapid advancement in mobile technology, GIS applications extensively inclining towards the collection and transmission of untimed high-velocity data flow through mobile devices. ArcGIS suite of mobile applications such as Explorer, Collector, Tracker, WorkForce,etc are the primary choice of GIS architects to facilitate spatial operations to analyze, collect and assign information through GIS System. To create an operation task in the field to the corresponding team of professionals for time-critical next in line response action, we developed a customized discrete GIS integrated Mobile application with ArcGIS Software suite of products. With Esri’s Geospatial Cloud, AppStudio for ArcGIS and developer APIs, SDKs, and development tools, we develop robust location-based geo-enabled cross-platform native applications for any modern platform including web, mobile such as Android, iOS, Windows and desktop running Java, Windows and Linux. This application can be proactively used with industry-specific customization for mobile-based collection and transmission of spatial data in real-time.
