Data Connections for a Migrated User

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 131

I migrated my PowerApps account from the Beta to the Preview. My email address had to change from a "personal" hotmail account to a work Office 365 account. I signed into PowerApps using the wotrk account and it recognized my as a user and displayed my existing apps built under the beta version. However, the data connections now don't work. When I try to establish a new connection on SharePoint, for example, I choose SharePoint, the form that requests entry of a new site or selection of a previously used site displays briefly, then PowerApps crashes and "disappears". I've tried the several times with the same result. I tried shutting down / restarting but always get the same result.

I tried signing onto the web PowerApps and it doesn't see my existing apps. The web version allows me to add a connection to SharePoint, but this connection is not recognized when i return to the local, pinned PowerApps. What is the relationship between the desktop version and the web version? Shouldn't the same apps and connections appear on both?

I had read somewhere a couple months or more ago that the Preview would allow only two connections. Is this part of the problem?

I'd really like to be able to reestablish the connections I had working and get my beta apps working again, then add to some of them and use some of the new features. PowerApps looks great, but I've hit a snag and I'd like to avoid rebuilding my exisitng apps. What is going on and what do I have to do to get things back to "normal" again?

Thank you.

    Sorry to hear that you are having troubles, your shouldn't be experiencing any issues like this on either the desktop or web client.

     

    Can you please shoot me an email (jamesol@microsoft.com) so that we can troubleshoot the problem?
