Additional Information

This is expected behavior when using the integrated receiver on iOS vs. Android. On Android, most devices can support the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) GPS which allows the ArcGIS Field Maps application to parse out the fix type value for that location using the integrated receiver. iOS devices do not support NMEA internally, and therefore ArcGIS Field Maps cannot obtain that information from the devices' internal location manager. This is not unique to lines or polygon metadata or the worst fix type metadata field. The same behavior holds true for point features and the fix type metadata field between iOS and Android.
