Workaround

  • Open the downloaded area folder in the iOS Files App, find the file named mobile_map.mmap.
  • Make a copy in a place that can be edited (e.g. the desktop) and open it with a text editor.
  • Find the JSON section that defines the symbology and notice the style is missing:

                },

                {

                  "label": "dash7",

                  "symbol": {

                    "color": [

                      20,

                      158,

                      206,

                      255

                    ],

                    "type": "esriSLS",

                    "width": 2.8900001049041748

                  },

                  "value": "dash7"

                },

  • Add the lacking style and save the file:

                },

                {

                  "label": "dash7",

                  "symbol": {

                    "color": [

                      20,

                      158,

                      206,

                      255

                    ],

                    "type": "esriSLS",

                    "style": "esriSLSShortDot",

                    "width": 2.8900001049041748

                  },

                  "value": "dash7"

                },

  • Overwrite the file in the field maps folder in iOS Files app.
  • Restart the ArcGIS Field Maps app and try again.
