Posted on by musheerqma

Currently I have developed a power app in which I have Sharepoint online connector which contains some promoted link with data (No custom Sharepoint list is used).

In my Power app all the datasources of Sharepoint online connectors are with promoted link, which perfectly working fine in Powerapp for web, But while running the same app in real iOS and Android devices the images are not shown same as web (only text is visible).

I checked with Sharepoint list with image property in column and results are correct as expected in both iOS and android.

But with Sharepoint promoted link no success even while using image property and link column both.

Dear @WarrenBelz,

My datasource is not Sharepoint library, It's a promoted link list which contains text and images (specific image and link column type). I also tried the below code for Mobile device as per your suggestion in blog, but no success.

ThisItem.'{Thumbnail}'.Large

Kindly suggest If we have any specific way to handle images from Sharepoint promoted link in power apps.

@musheerqma ,

I am not sure exactly what you mean by "Promoted Link" in SharePoint, however mobile devices cannot resolve thumbnail images from any URL that requires authentication as they need to resolve these anonymously (they cannot multi-task any other authentication connections on the device) - this is noted in my blog. The only way is to directly link the Library as a Data Source and use the Thumbnail syntax I posted.

Solved this problem by mentioned workaround and now its working perfectly fine.

Goto specific Sharepoint promoted link Settings --> Advanced setting -->Enable attachment mode -->Create a new column in sharepoint promoted link of Image(Type) --> add image from computer in Image type field --> access in power app.
