Code Apps - Environment not found

Posted on by knunde

Hi,

Trying to initialize my demo Code App to my environment, from VS Code using PAC CLI v.2.6.4.

Following this step-by-step Quickstart: Create a code app from scratch - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

My auth profile is configured to an environment where Code Apps is activated. When running pac code init --displayname "App From Scratch" I get an error;

"Connected as mail@mail.com
Environment '<my environment id>' not found. Please verify the environment ID and ensure you have access to it.

I have access, my auth profile pointing towards the correct env (verified by pac env who), as mentioned Code Apps is activated in Environment Settings in Admin Center and I have sys.admin role for the environment.

Found this article, where users are discussing a potential bug in the pac version, so also tried to use multiple lower versions, without any luck.

Any clues?

I'm also having this issue inside a GCC environment. "pac env who" shows the correct environment selected, but "pac code init" always comes back with "Environment not found".

"pac auth who" shows the correct "UsGov" cloud and environment.

I've also tried downgrading to lower versions of pac with no success.

As an aside: The npm CLI (npx power-apps) won't work because it does not seem to be supported for "UsGov" cloud: GCC Region Availability · Issue #172 · microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps

I was actually having the same issue today.

In my case, the issue was that the PAC CLI was enforcing the Tenant ID from my machine domain (my Organization Tenant), however my Data verse environment was hosted in a different Tenant entirely

I posted an article in case it helps: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2026/05/20/pac-cli-environment-not-found-but-the-id-was-correct/
