Force launch to use web browser version?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 50

I have 2 apps.  App A and App B.


In app A, I need to launch App B in browser instead of power apps.   I had been using the URL of App B.  But now, the Power App app seems to be intercepting the App B URL and not allowing them to open in a browser.  Is there something I can add to tell Power Apps to back off not hijack the URL and let it open in a browser as intended?

The downside to the current method of Power Apps hijacking the URL is it forces the current App A to close, causing the user to lose place/data in App A and while inside App B (which I have no access to dev) there is no way to get back to App A.  So I prefer App A to just stay open while App B is opened up in a browser and they can get back to App A easily when they close the browser.

Did this behavior change recently?  I'm almost positive Power Apps didn't try to hijack URLs and just let it go to the web browser versions.

    Hi @WiredForSound 

    Can you clarify the Launch formula that you're using? Are you specifying the full URL of app B (including the https prefix) and specify the New option for the launch target?

    Launch("https://urltoAppB")
    Also tried

    Launch("https://urltoAppB", "", LaunchTarget.New )

    Works fine if using AppA in web browser.    But if using AppA in Power Apps, I cannot open AppB in web browser on mobile device.
