I have a PowerApp I built in Teams. I'm having difficulty with the app loading in the editor in Teams and want to make a copy of the app to debug with. I haven't been able to find an answer on how to do this. Any ideas?

From the Teams app designer page, in the top right at the save icon you can select the drop down for "Save As" and it will create an immediate copy of the application in the same environment. This way you won't have to do anything with solution export/import.

I could do an export and import but the import failed.
Customizations from file "Web Analytics_export (2).zip" failed to import: Invalid name for attribute publishedby. Custom attribute names must start with a valid customization prefix. The prefix for a solution component should match the prefix that is specified for the publisher of the solution.

@v-jefferni I don't know if it is a limitation with PowerApps for Teams or a permissions thing but I do not have that option to upload a custom app.

If you can open the app you can save a copy using the File > Save As option.
You can also export the package. You'll be able to import the package into another environment. You'll probably have to rebuild all your data connections.

Thanks. I've gotten that far but couldn't figure how to bring it back into PowerApps for Teams as a new app.
