Power Apps not working in Play Mode , but works fine in Edit mode

Posted on by Ash06 29

Facing an issue with Power Apps forms, would like to know if anyone has faced this and has a solution to it. My Apps is running perfectly fine in Edit mode. However, when I try to Play it from the Power Apps main page, many filters and buttons are missing and the placement is realigned and not working fine. Any idea what might be the issue?

I have disabled all the preview and experimental settings. Please help me on this.

    Did you Publish the App after Saving it?

    No. My app is still not in the level of publishing. But i did save all the changes and tried to re-launch it again. No luck 😞

    To open on the main page your last app version you have to publish it. 

    On the main page, select your App, go to Analytics. On Versions, you'll see all the versions of your app and the one that is live (the one that really opens)

    Thank you very much. This really helps. I noticed that still the Version 1 is Live. Is there any workaround to set the latest version to be live without publishing it ?

    To publish and to be live are probably the same thing. You might be confusing Publish a version with Sharing the app with other users.

    Hi @fuzzy_fuzz , Thanks a lot for the tip on "Publish" the app to make the desired version be "Live" to work properly in Play mode! It helped with the issue I was having reg the right version to work in "Play" mode! 🙂
