This is probably a stupid question - BUT ! I am testing an offline solution.

I can run a powerapp on my android phone no probs - it just opens directly whether online or offline

I want to use a windows 10 tablet/laptop as well - it has the bigger screen ! - and on the tablet have done this by saving the app to the tablet. So I want to run the app not edit the app.

When you fire up powerapps, Unlike online mode, where you get a lsit of Apps and by default the app opens unless you click the pencil to get into edit mode, when off line, no apps are listed - you have to go to browse>select file>open powerapp file - and this opens the saved file directly in the editor. Is there anyway around this ??

Cheers

Richard

Hi

Ha, it is not a stupid question.
Maybe you did not save into CLOUD as apps.
Only when you save as Cloud Apps then it will appear (not in Purple PowerApps Icon) but with your own icon.

Please check, TQ

Hi
Thanks for that.
To test I saved app with new name to cloud, then saved to desktop. Closed Powerapps, went offline, opened Powerapps- no apps listed!

Hi

Please check on
- which Environment you are saving into
- After saving into Cloud, please press the refresh button and it should appear

When you open with Phone PowerApps, it will alap appear.

Hope the magic comes back.
Cheers!
