Power Apps SharePoint Images Not Displaying on iPad

Hello Power Apps Community,

I'm struggling with an issue where images from a SharePoint Online library aren't displaying in my Power Apps app on iPads, even though they load perfectly on desktop devices.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Image Formula: ThisItem.ProtLink & "?raw=1" → Works on desktops but not on iPads.

GetPreview Approach: "https://sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/getpreview.ashx?path=" & ThisItem.ProtLink → Same issue.

Download Link: ThisItem.ProtLink & "?download=1" → Forces a download but doesn’t render in the app.

What I’ve checked:

The links open correctly in Safari on the iPad, so it’s not a SharePoint permission issue.

Added a button to open the link, which works on the iPad.

Verified image control settings, cleared app cache, and checked SharePoint permissions—no luck.

Possible Causes:

Power Apps on iPad blocking authentication for SharePoint images.

Rendering limitations in Power Apps mobile.

Key Questions:

Why do images display on desktops but not on iPads?

How can I ensure SharePoint images render on all devices?

Would converting images to Base64 via Power Automate solve the issue?

Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help! 🚀

In this case, I can suggest two approaches:

> Option 1 - Convert Images to Base64 Using Power Automate

Converting images to Base64 bypasses authentication issues and ensures compatibility across all devices.

Use the Get file content action in Power Automate to retrieve the image from SharePoint.
Convert the content to Base64.
Return the Base64 string to Power Apps.

In Power Apps, set the image control source: "data:image/jpeg;base64," & Base64String

> Option 2 - Store Images in an Anonymous Access Location (If Possible)
