ArcGIS Collector on Windows platform is retired

ArcGIS Collector on Windows is officially retired and no longer supported by Esri. 

The Collector on Windows app will continue to work on devices, but please note that it will not be supported or further enhanced. To provide flexibility during this transition, the Collector app will remain in the Microsoft Store until October 2025.

Why is Collector on Windows being retired?

ArcGIS Field Maps launched in the fall of 2020 (on Android and iOS) as the next generation successor to several of Esri’s field apps, including Collector.

Since then, enhancements of Collector have ceased and all development efforts have been invested into Field Maps.

Collector on iOS and Android was retired on December 31^st, 2021.

Migration to Field Maps

Esri recommends that customers migrate to ArcGIS Field Maps on either Android or iOS. There are no plans to build a native app on Windows at this time.

The ArcGIS Field Maps Migration guide details patterns to support this transition.

There are alternative ArcGIS applications which are available on the Windows’s platform including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Survey123, ArcGIS QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Earth, as well as ArcGIS web applications including but not limited to ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Instant Apps, and ArcGIS Web Editor.

For additional Windows solutions we have an extensive partner network and custom Windows solutions can be developed using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for .Net: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/
