Deprecation of App OnStart?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by powercorner 477

Hello my lovely community,

 

in the last weeks I heard rumors that the App.OnStart function in PowerApps will be deprecated?

Does anybody know something specific? 

 

I would like to see the function chased away becuse I had some problems with it in the past.

 

With regards

Kevin

    HI @powercorner ,

    I certainly hope not as a whole heap of initiation often needs to run there. The main issue I have found is in Integrated apps where is does not run (again) unless SharePoint is refreshed.

    @powercorner ,

    Interesting - what is going to happen to Deep Linking . . . . this is the first anyone has mentioned this.

    Hello @powercorner and @WarrenBelz ,

    it looks like this article is answering your questions:

    App.StartScreen: a new declarative alternative to Navigate in App.OnStart | Microsoft Power Apps

     

    Cheers

    Thanks @adminMaybe ,

    Really only the App.StartScreen , but I hope this does not affect Deep Linking - there are some comments on the bottom of the article regarding this
