Power Apps Studio Editor Stuck on Loading for Hours, all day even.

Posted on by

Recently a very important (and probably too complex) power app stopped loading in the Studio Editor.  

 

It would spin and spin on the loading screen for hours.  Even backups I'd saved of the app going back months would not load in the studio editor.  Adding the confusion, other apps I'd made in the same environment WOULD open in the studio editor.  It was just versions of the one app that wouldn't open.

I tried:

-Different Browsers

-Incognito Mode

-Different Internet Connections

-Clearing Cache
-restoring old known good versions from version history


In the end, the only thing that worked was putting an old studio-version parameter on the url, in my case I used 
"&studio-version=v3.24052.30.298708436"

Anyone else run into this, or know what causes it or what else can be done?

For more background:
This happened after a crash where I refreshed a Dataverse data source in the app (I had added a new column to a table in Dataverse), and after the refresh suddenly my app was riddled with errors on formulas and variables that stored records from a DIFFERENT data source (not the table / column I'd just updated in Dataverse).  The errors claimed the column name referenced was wrong, but it wasn't or shouldn't have been--all I had to do was delete the column name after the variable and retype it in to fix the errors.  I saved and tried to reload and it that's when it would get stuck.

    Just wanted to comment that I am having this exact same issue. Your workaround did work for me as well, so thank you for that! Was thinking it was the studio version, but did not have an old version number on hand.
     
    Have you had any luck fixing this for the long term, or is the hope that a new studio version is released that fixes it?
     
    My app is also quite large, but does not have any formula or runtime errors in the app checker

    I’ve been facing this issue for several months now.

    Using a VPN worked for me, but it makes the connection incredibly slow.

    I opened a ticket in the past, but they didn’t know how to fix it.

    If a VPN worked for you then couldn't changing the DNS used by the browser also work?
