Remove Spatial Services

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by MikeWas

In my attempt to move fast and break things, I broke my app.

As an experiment, I tried to add a Map control to one of my screens in a canvas app. I was told by a dialog box that this was a premium feature, so I canceled and removed the control. I guess I went too far into adding the control because a connector to "Spatial Services" was created in my app. Now my app is designated as a "premium license" app.

How can I remove the Spatial Services connector to remove the premium designation?

Thanks,

Mike

I solved my own problem.

I exported the app, did a little brain surgery by removing all references to the Spatial Services Connector in two JSON files, and then imported the data back into PowerApps as a new App.

Hey,
I had the same issue and I am not an expert as well, so I'd like to tell you what I did.

I exported my App.
I opened the compressed file and looked up the two .json-Files.
I copied them out of the compressed file to open them with the notepad++ Editor
I installed the Plugin "JSON Viewer", to format the file the way I was able to at least guess everything
I overread the whole code (not that long) and found some references to the Spatial Services
I guessed the "whatever-reference-code" and copied it
I used the search-function (Crtl + F) to find all of the references
I deleted all the parts
I saved and put the .JSON-File back into the compressed File I downloaded earlier
I uploaded the File and updated the existing App
Hope it helps you, it took me so long, hope you can fix it quicker.

BTW, Microsoft: FIX THIS!

Hi all,
For some that are not too familiar with Json format, I had the same issue and used Fabi3310 format with some additional steps and I'd like to tell you what I did.

I exported my App.
Exported another app that does not have spatial services (to use as reference)
I opened the compressed file and looked up the two .json-Files (first one named manifest and other named as numerical code inside the MicrosoftPowerApps folder).
I copied them out of the compressed file to open them with the atatus online.
Under the manifest file I`ve kept the schema and resources information and removed all the other content.
Under the numerical code file I`ve removed the "connectionReferences" information and replaced by "connectionReferences": {},
I saved and put the .JSON-File back into the compressed File I downloaded earlier (Do not try to compress a new zip folder that will not work).
I uploaded the File and updated the existing App
Here you go, no spatial services reference anymore.

Can you guys clarify which JSON files you are editing? I found and removed references to "spatial" in Properties.json and DataSources.json... however even after validating the edited json format through Notepad++ I am still getting a "Something went wrong. Please try again later." error when trying to reupload the zip file through Power Apps.

The two .json-Files that I`ve edited were named as manifest and other named as numerical code inside the MicrosoftPowerApps folder. I was receiving the same "Something went wrong. Please try again later." message when I was creating a new zip folder. Therefore, to avoid this error, you need to make sure you are including the edited files on the original zip folder that you downloaded. I hope that this can work for you!

Similar here. I only had to modify a single file, the "CUSTOMIZATIONS.XML" in my solution package.

Look for the <AppComponentDependencies> tag and strip the entry for Spatial Services. Triple check that your json is correct, and then re-zip your solution up and upload it back. You may need to advance the version on your patch or rollback your application's version but you should be able to overwrite the same application and retain the same app url.

This was a good lesson for not experimenting with things in the main application. Make a sandbox and play in it until you understand it. That said this is clearly a bug Microsoft needs to address at some point but overall it was a 15 minute repair job all told.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the assistance!
