    OK. I shared the app will a colleague and set them as co-owner and they are able to edit the app.
     
    They then saved as a new app with a different file name and shared with me and set me as co-owner. I still cant edit the new version.

    Regarding the absence of the apps are you sure you are on the correct environment? Regarding the error on edit it has happened to me a few times but with a simple refresh everything was ok. i hope to find the solution fast :/

    Hi
     
    I am so sorry this is happening I am certain its stressful as can be.
     
    here are some suggestions
     
    1. Open a ticket with Microsoft (no matter what as its their issue not yours possibly
    2. Clear your Cache totally and only try to open them in Incognito/private mode
    3. Try it on other machines if you can
    4. Add another user as a Co-Owner and have them open it (see if they can)
    5. One other possibility, (but I realize its ALL your apps), would be to roll them back 1 publish and see if that helps. Try it on 1 App, if it doesnt work you can simply restore the most Current
     
    I am hoping clearing the cache and incognito or another user can open and republish, then you try.
