Posted on by Najwa_Rahal 134

Hello All, 

 

I am using Powerapp on a Mac laptop ( Chrome Browser ). To connect the Powerapp to a SQL Server : 

 

1- I created a Container on Docker and connected to a SQL Server  --> Successful 

 

Now that I need to connect my Powerapp to the SQL Server via  on premises Gateway, I am not able to install a gateway because the .exe is not supported on Mac. 

 

My question has any was able to connect a Powerapp to a SQL server created in Docker container on Mac ? 

 

Thank you for help . 

 

Najwa.

    on-premises data gateway is not available for macOS. 

    You have to change to use the online DB server, or change to use Windows system.

    If you want this feature to be added, please submit an idea to PowerApps idea forums.
