Every time I deploy my canvas app from my dev environment to a higher environment (in a managed solution) - my Flows used in the canvas app does not work anymore. To fix it, I have to press "edit", remove the connections to all my flows, then adding them back again.

After doing this - which is very cumbersome - then everything work alright again.

Why is it like this and is it any way to get around this problem?

Yes, with the latest release to the PowerApps CLI, you can pre-load your solutions with connection references. Pre-populate connection references and environment variables for automated deployments using Power Platform Build Tools - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs

Hi @Kran ,

After you import the solution into the new environment, is flow on or off ?

At my knowledge, If the flow is turned on, please check your security role 's solution and process permission.

If not, I guess it's due to the connection reference.

First I want to understand if it is expected behaviour that I always need to remove the connections within my canvas app and then add them back after each deployment?

My flows (which all are triggered from within the canvas app - uses connection references)
