Works fine through a web browser. Button downloads a file on a SharePoint site. Mentions "However, in Power Apps mobile app, the request will not work since authenticating the download request is not handled by the mobile device.". I'm assuming that means this is not supported? What about using "launch"? Is there a way to detect if running on mobile, to call download/launch appropriately? If I can't download the file, I'd like to switch to an app to view the file (like Excel).

Yes, you can Launch to the document.
To determine if you are on Mobile or browser, you can utilize the following formula:
IsBlank(Acceleration.X)
This will be blank (true) on a desktop and false on mobile.
So, for example in your OnStart action, add the following:
Set(IsMobile, !IsBlank(Acceleration.X))
I hope this is helpful for you.
For whatever reason, I had to do this instead:
Set(IsMobile, (Acceleration.X < 0 || Acceleration.X >= 0));
IsBlank and IsNumeric always returned FALSE.
