Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

I am currently creating an Offline Power App and needed help understanding what happens when a User closes the app itself. I am essentially sending data to SharePoint when the app is online, and using features such as Collect(), then SaveData() to later LoadData() with a button. I have implemented this successfully however, there is one test I still cannot achieve, and that is when I save data offline, I will swipe out of the app and then go back into the app whilst back online. I am using the same code with a few changes but it does not seem to upload data, almost as if it deletes data even though SaveData() is being used.

The reason is that I wanted to simulate a worker who would be out far away from connecting for a long time, and upon returning in a few hours the app might have restarted.

I have a few ideas to improve from a button however I would ideally want to resolve this test by figuring out a way to keep the data saved when a user swipes up and closes the app. I have been successful in keeping the data saved by swiping out and going back in quickly, but not closing the Power App application entirely. Any help would be amazing.

Thanks
