Power App (Canvas App) automatically quites/exist after a certain period of time

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

Hello together,

 

I habe one question concerning canvas app running on an android phone. It is a canvas app and "App" I configured that the app should only quit/exit with confirmation (ConfirmExit = true)

The app should not automatically quit. 

UseCase: the App is a ScannerApp running on a mobile device; I recognized that the app quites after a certain period of time without any user interaction.

That means the app is running, the mobile device is lying on my desk and after a certain period of time I checked the mobile device and the app is not running any more.

 

Does someone have experienced something similar; is there a internal session timeout or something similar whichs quites the app.

Thanks for your help and support!!

    Hi thmwg,


    With this specific case I have no experience, but I have some experience with unexpected behaviour when running a PowerApp on a mobile device.
    In some cases it was helpful to run 'monitor' to get detailed information about what was going on when running an app on a mobile device. 
    See this article for more information, I hope this is helping.
    Kind regards, Jan-Pieter

    Hi JP,

     

    thanks for your idea, I checked this out but unfortunately there was a session time out on the debug monitor before the error or the app exit occurs.

    Sometime it is not only the app which quits; it is even Power Apps (Mobile App) at all, which quits. 

    Is there a mechanism known from Mircosoft that the app quits by it self?
    I also could not recognize a certain pattern - there was no specific event nor a certain time period so I could get an idea of what happend.

    Thanks!
