In the upcoming April Release of ArcGIS Online, the Maps and Apps Gallery will move into the Mature phase of the Product Lifecycle and will be removed from the default Configurable Apps Gallery.
The Maps and Apps Gallery displays apps and web maps which can be searched and filtered using item tags. The Minimal Gallery app was released out of beta in the December 2017 release. It has a clean, simple design that displays maps, apps and scenes as cards that can be searched and filtered. The Minimal Gallery app is built using the next generation of JavaScript, which includes better support for display on small screens like phones and tablets.
What does the Mature Phase of a configurable application template mean?
- If you have already configured an application using a template that is in the mature phase, the app will continue to work and be accessible to your users.
- No new functionality will be added to the template in future releases.
- No reported issues or bugs will be fixed in the app.
- The item details page will indicate that the app is in mature support and will point you to resources for similar functionality.
Can I still create apps from these templates even after they are moved to the mature phase?
Yes. These apps will remain as items in ArcGIS Online after they have been moved to the mature phase. If you still want to use the apps, you can create a custom configurable app group that contains the app item. Set this group as your group configurable app template group in the organization administration settings. Users in your organization will then be able to create additional apps from the template.
