Additional Information

‘app://arcgis-maps' is required to be used as a referrer in ArcGIS Field Maps 25.2 or newer instead of 'arcgisios.'

Workaround

By removing all limit-usage URLs and referrers and simply keeping the stored credentials, users can view secure services while signed out in ArcGIS Field Maps for iOS. Users can also download any predefined offline areas for such maps while signed out.

By signing in to ArcGIS Field Maps with any free or public ArcGIS account, users can view the map containing the secure service and download all offline areas. This works with the 'arcgisios' limit-usage referrer enabled.
