ArcGIS Instant Apps is the next generation of configurable web mapping apps. All Instant Apps templates use the latest ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.x components. ArcGIS Configurable Apps will continue to be available until all the templates have replacements and are retired. Many Configurable Apps templates have already been migrated to use the Instant Apps configuration experience, and more are planned to be migrated in the future.
Yes. When you publish your app, a proxy is automatically created for subscriber content and you'll be prompted to authorize premium content so anonymous users don't need to sign in to access the content if you share the app publicly. Authorizing premium content will consume credits based on the number of times your app is viewed.
Yes, you can save a copy of apps that you create with Instant Apps. On the My Apps tab, click the Save a copy button on the app card. A new app is created and added to your content. This option allows you to create a backup or use a copy of an existing app as a template for a new one. You can also click the Choose button to create and configure a new app using the same template and settings as an existing app but with different content. In the configuration window, you can use the Create a copy button to save a copy of the app and its current settings, with the option to open the new app's configuration or continue working in the original app.
An Instant Apps template is moved to deprecated status when an improved comparable template replaces it. When a template is moved to deprecated status, existing apps you created with it continue to work and remain accessible to users. You can still edit the app configuration, but it won't get code updates with new functionality or bug fixes. For example, deprecated app templates are not updated to support browser changes or changes in ArcGIS that affect app functionality. Deprecated templates are removed from the Create tab of the Instant Apps home page, and the options for creating apps from existing apps are no longer available on the My Apps tab. The template item details will indicate that the template is deprecated and will point you to the recommended replacement template, if applicable.
