Offline data is data that is generated and downloaded from a data service for use in offline applications. Offline data is used by partially offline apps built with ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps as it requires a network connection to perform the initial download. Offline data can be downloaded from the following data services:
- Feature service as a geodatabase file (
.geodatabase). This type of offline data is called feature data. - Vector tile service as a vector tile package file (
.vtpk). This type of offline data is called tile data. - Map tile service as a map tile package file (
.tpk). This type of offline data is called tile data.
Offline data from a feature service, or feature data, can include spatial data, non-spatial data, and attachments. Edits made into offline data can be synchronized with the source feature service whenever a network connection is available.
