Image Upload Fails on Power Apps Windows Desktop App but Works in Browser

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue with image uploads in my Power Apps app, and I hope someone can help!

I’ve created an app that allows users to upload images. When I run the app in a web browser, the images upload successfully without any issues. However, when I try the same on the Power Apps Windows desktop app (installed on a Windows tablet), the images fail to upload.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Tested the app on another Windows device to rule out device-specific issues – same result (images do not upload).
Checked permissions for camera and photos on the Windows tablet.
Cleared the cache and reinstalled the Power Apps desktop app.
Tried uploading smaller, compressed images in case of size restrictions.

I haven’t seen any error messages, and I’m unsure if this is a compatibility issue with the Power Apps Windows app. Has anyone else faced a similar issue or have any suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have any offline configuration settings within the app?

Where are you uploading to?

pls try the following:

Instead of uploading the image directly, try converting it to Base64 and uploading the content

Patch(
ImageLibrary,
Defaults(ImageLibrary),
{ ImageBase64: JSON(UploadedImageControl.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) }
)

check the logs:

Enable session monitoring to collect debug logs:
Open Power Apps Studio.

Navigate to Settings > Support > Monitor.

Use the monitor logs while attempting uploads on the desktop app to identify where the process fails.

let me know if you need more details.
