Logging in with the same account on Tracker for ArcGIS (Android) is successful.

Cause

The Location Tracking service is not working properly. Tracker for ArcGIS (iOS) checks and ensures the Location Tracking service is enabled and is working normally before allowing a user to log in.

Solution or Workaround

To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:

Note:
The following steps require an administrator to disable and re-enable Location Tracking in Portal for ArcGIS. Disabling Location Tracking deletes all associated items (services, views, groups, etc). Roles assigned with the privilege to view location tracks remain unchanged.

Disable and re-enable Location Tracking

  1. Check and ensure the data store is validated. To validate ArcGIS Data Store, refer to ArcGIS Data Store command utility reference.
