Add a Mobile Map Package

The Mobile Map Package option allows administrators to define a base map for offline use in version 7 of the mobile apps (Android and iOS) and newer. When offline, asset layers still appear in the map and can be attached to work activities. However locators do not work in versions 10.3 and 11.1 and older of the mobile apps. Starting at 10.4 and 11.2, location data can be stored in the MMPK and accessed when the device is offline.

Mobile map packages are read-only and can be comprised of multiple maps, locators, and/or routing networks. They require little memory space and can be easily shared, updated, and used with ArcGIS apps and applications developed with ArcGIS Runtime. There is a two GB limit for all .mmpk files.
