DEPRECATION
ArcGIS Configurable Apps, including the configuring experience of the Configurable Apps Gallery in ArcGIS Online, will be deprecated with the ArcGIS Online June 2023 update (planned for June 14, 2023) and is expected to be retired in December 2025. The final version of ArcGIS Enterprise to include Configurable Apps will release in the first half of 2025.
Deprecation does not impact ArcGIS Configurable Apps availability or functionality, but does communicate the intention to retire ArcGIS Configurable Apps in the future. ArcGIS Configurable Apps continues to be available until it is officially retired, but will not receive new features or other enhancements. Before retirement, users are still able to create apps using ArcGIS Configurable Apps templates and existing apps will continue to work.
Retirement of Configurable Apps is expected to be in December 2025. Upon retirement in 2025:
In advance of ArcGIS Configurable Apps retirement in December 2025, users should identify any configurable apps they are still actively using in their ArcGIS Online organization and proactively recreate those apps using more modern technology such as ArcGIS Instant Apps. If you haven’t used Instant Apps yet, refer to the documentation or the following resources to help make the transition:
To quickly check if your organization has any of these previously configured apps using the templates listed below, please see the article Identify deprecated Configurable Apps in ArcGIS Online using a Python script.
For Enterprise users only
Most Configurable Apps have been removed in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0. However, Basic Viewer, Compare, Crowdsource Manager, Crowdsource Polling, Crowdsource Reporter, GeoForm, Image Mask, and Image Visit are still present. We recommend Enterprise customers update to a later version of Enterprise 10.9.1 and above in order for customers to have access to more modern equivalent templates in ArcGIS Instant Apps and rebuild the replacement applications as shown below. The final version of ArcGIS Enterprise to include Configurable Apps will release in the first half of 2025.
Appendix
The table below details the app templates that are active and deprecated, along with their recommended replacement apps. Some active Configurable App templates that are still being supported, namely, Crowdsource Manager, Crowdsource Reporter, Crowdsource Polling GeoForm, and Image Mask, currently do not have any replacement apps. However, the team is working to build the recommended replacements and will be announced at a later date prior to retirement.
One way to identify these configurable apps in your organization is the app URL, which uses the following pattern:
/portal/apps/<TemplateID>/index.html?appid=<AppID>
