Workaround
Option #1Use an alternative workflow: open the web map in the map viewer and click Share. Select any template in the gallery to configure an app. The app created from this workflow is not impacted by the URL issue discussed in this article. For more information, see the help topic Make your first app.
Option #2
A broken app can be fixed by inserting the Web Adaptor name missing from the URL. The instructions provided describe how to fix the broken app URL.
- From the My Contents page, open the Item Details page for the broken app.
- Under Properties, note the URL that is displayed. The portion of the URL with the web adaptor name may be missing, similar to the example below:
https://webadaptorhost.domain.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=84ad30cce2f24d5abd1c5b212239dbc0
The URL must include the web adaptor name, as follows:https://webadaptorhost.domain.com/<webadaptorname>/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=84ad30cce2f24d5abd1c5b212239dbc0
- Click Edit, and modify the URL property to include the web adaptor name.
- Click Save.
