| Oct 18, 2016 at 19:30 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | @RussRoberts I should have tried *.png because I just pulled my *.jpeg into Paint.NET and saved it as a *.png and it just worked! My browser is Chrome 54.0.2840.59. | |

| Oct 16, 2016 at 6:07 | comment | added | jakc | I would still encourage raising it with support as a potential bug. A public account can create apps, so they should be able to represent those apps with the appropriate thumbnails. Depends on use-case - public accounts are easier to create/login (Google/Facebook login) but I am a big fan of pushing developer plans at users. You don't have to be a developer, and the terms are not limiting for a lot of use-cases. developers.arcgis.com/terms | |
| Oct 15, 2016 at 5:04 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | @Simon I suspect the Public Account may have this as an undocumented limitation. I could try working around this a Developer Plan or by using my ArcGIS Online for Organizations but the particular thing that I wanted to do this for is aimed at home users. I could just suggest those home users sign up for Developer Plans too, but that would beg the question as to why anyone would want a Free Public Account if they could get a Free Developer Plan just as easily? | |
| Oct 15, 2016 at 3:14 | comment | added | jakc | Sounds like a potential bug. Guessing that because Public accounts have restrictions on storing content in AGO, a thumbnail might also fall into that category. Recommend raising with Esri support. As a side-note. a free ArcGIS Developer Plan offers a lot more options than a public account and might be more useful for you? It would solve this issue for starters. | |
