Between Tuesday, March 7th and Friday, March 10th, we\u2019ll be hosting technical sessions, demo theaters, and more.<\/p>\n
To help you plan your time at DevSummit, below you’ll find a comprehensive list of all the opportunities to learn about the Native Maps SDKs (previously known as the Runtime SDKs), to engage with the development team directly, to get answers to your questions, and to give us your feedback.<\/p>\n
We have two foundational sessions dedicated to giving you a look at the Native Maps SDKs as a whole. The first is an introductory session that will give an overview of the Native Maps SDKs and bring you up to speed with the latest releases. If you’re new to the Native Maps SDKs or need to evaluate whether these SDKs are the right tool to help you build your project, then this session is for you. The second session will provide a preview of upcoming capabilities and give you a sense of the Native Maps SDKs future roadmap.<\/p>\n
ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps: An Introduction to the API and Architecture<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm<\/p>\n This session will present an introduction to ArcGIS Maps SDKs for .NET, Java, Kotlin, Qt, and Swift, advantages of using them, and an overview of the common API across these SDKs. This session is ideal for new developers and managers or program managers evaluating the technology.<\/em><\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps: The Road Ahead<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, 4:00pm – 5:00pm<\/p>\n Join the ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps development team to learn about what’s coming next in ArcGIS Maps SDKs for .NET, Java, Kotlin, Qt and Swift.<\/em><\/p>\n We have three sessions that will help address your questions around popular strategy topics: reviewing your range of development options for mobile and desktop platforms, reviewing how you can plan your migration from ArcGIS Engine to the Native Map SDKs, and discussing how you approach multi-platform development to build apps for both iOS and Android.<\/p>\n Strategies for Mobile and Desktop Development<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, 2:30pm – 3:30pm<\/p>\n In this session, we will explore no-code\/low-code tools such as AppStudio, extending ArcGIS software with the ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET, and building your own custom apps with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps. We will also tour resources such as: location services, usage analytics, samples, open-source projects, training, videos, and community forums.<\/em><\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps: Migrating from ArcGIS Engine<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tuesday, 5:30pm – 6:30pm<\/p>\n Attend this session to learn about tips and techniques you\u2019ll need to move your apps from ArcGIS Engine to one of our ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps.<\/em><\/p>\n Native App Development in a Multiplatform World<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday, 10:30am – 11:30am<\/p>\n In this session we will explore a strategy for building native apps for iOS and Android that maximizes the similarity in system architecture, testing, and yes, even coding. Learn how we are using this approach to develop the next generation of ArcGIS mobile apps.<\/em><\/p>\n We built each Native Maps SDK to feel 100% natural to developers working with their chosen developer tools, while delivering identical capabilities across .NET<\/a>, Swift<\/a>, Kotlin<\/a>, Java<\/a>, and Qt<\/a>. The\u00a0ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps: An Introduction to the API and Architecture<\/em> session above provides an overview of how we deliver that consistency, but we have sessions on Wednesday and Thursday that get into the weeds of developing with each specific SDK.<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET: Building Apps<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday, 4:00pm – 5:00pm<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDK for Kotlin: Building Apps<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thursday, 10:30 am – 11:30am<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift: Building Apps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, 10:30am – 11:30am<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java: Building Apps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, 1:00 pm – 2:00pm<\/p>\n ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt: Building Apps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, 5:30pm – 6:30pm<\/p>\n December saw the release of\u00a0 version 200.0 of the Native Maps SDKs, beginning the next phase of the SDKs formerly known as Runtime SDKs. Continuing on from the 100.x series of Runtime SDKs, these 200.x SDKs bring support for the latest developer tools such as MAUI, Qt 6, Swift, Kotlin, and modern JavaFX.
