Looking for the PowerApps UX/UI Design Guidelines and UI Components Library

I cannot find the PowerApps UX/UI Design Guidelines and UI Components Library. Could someone please help and point me in the right direction?

Why I am looking for the guidelines/components: The UI components and UI design guidelines provide both designers and non-designers guidance for design heuristics and basic app usability.

For example, I would like to find the PowerApps mobile UI components and guidelines for a bottom tab/nav bar while using PowerApps to design/create my app.

Reference:

Apple Human Interface Guidelines
A tab bar appears at the bottom of an app screen and provides the ability to quickly switch between different sections of an app.

https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/bars/tab-bars/

Google Material Design
Bottom navigation bars allow movement between primary destinations in an app.

Labels (the lack thereof): The following labels are not available here: UX, user experience, user interface design, UI design, usability, design patterns.

Not solved. UX/UI Guidelines describe the how and why for using components, and the UX/UI guidelines for Power Apps is missing. Surprising, since this is a Microsoft product. Reference: https://www.microsoft.com/design/fluent/#/ A good example of guidelines and components is https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/ Without understanding the user, usability, and navigation (the key to usability), components can be/are being misused.
