PowerApps Verion (Greater than 100)

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by sbroud

Hi,

Is it possible to get the app version (> 100) if our app get refreshed more than 100 times. Also, is there a way to push the latest updated app (after refresh) to final users, because some users still use an outdated application which is not compatible with updated business rules and/or does not include new updates / variable / fields or comments.

- what if deleting old versions from app settings / Details. Does the versions' deleting harm the app and data ?

Please help.

Hi @sbroud,

Yes, Power App versions can go above 100. For example:

Also, app users are notified if a more recent version of the app is available.

However, if you really want to restrict them using an older version you could create your own solution to handle this, such as the following:

Set a "Minimum My App Version" in a table record or environment variable.

Read the "Minimum My App Version" when the app loads.

If the app version is less than the "Minimum My App Version", block the user from accessing the app by redirecting them to a page containing a message for them to refresh the app to get the latest version.

I mean the version # when you add this code (following) to show in the app, or may be you create compared # to this variable to force users to refresh the browser and use the latest version of the application:

Set( appVersion, CountRows( PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions( LookUp( PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value, properties.displayName = "Application Name", name ) ).value ) );

OK, good to know about that code. Not sure, that code may require sorting, etc to get the most recent version number(s), although not sure if it's capped at 100.

Another option is to implement a custom version number based on my previous message, although that does deviate from the provided version numbers.

Not sure if this helps, but I managed a workaround.

I am on version 226, so I filtered the GetAppVersions to be greater than the date of the 200th version, this returned 26, I then added 200 to the result. This gave me the correct value of 226.

This would require updating each time the version surpasses a value divisible by 100, not perfect, but works.

CountRows(
Filter(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(
LookUp(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,
properties.displayName = "App Name",
name
)
).value,
properties.appVersion > [date of last version divisible by 100]
)
)+ [number of last version divisible by 100]

I am not getting the number I would have thought. I should be seeing 687, but it is shows 700.

CountRows(
Filter(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(
LookUp(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,
properties.displayName = "XXXX",
name
)
).value,
properties.appVersion > 10/25/2023
)
)+ 600

I think it could be your date value, I used the DateTime function and included the time.

Set(
appVersion,
CountRows(
Filter(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(
LookUp(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,
properties.displayName = "Construction Portal",
name
)
).value,
properties.appVersion > DateTime(
2023,
10,
31,
06,
50,
12
)
)
)+300
)

Hi,

I use the same code you used but it's still not working. I get an error message saying "invalid number of arguments. received 1, expected 2 or more"
Does anyone know why this is happening?
That's my code

CountRows(
Filter(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(
LookUp(
PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,
properties.displayName = "Name",
name
)
).value,
properties.appVersion > 08/21/2023
)
)+100

(I also tried the version from comment 9 but I receive the same error message)
