Power App exits to Home page on opening

Posted on by 388

I am posting this in case anyone else has seen this behaviour.

I have had reports from several users today that their app (running in a browser) briefly opens and then exits, returning them to the Power Apps Home page. Some users also use the app on a phone, but report that this still works.

The app itself has not been changed for over a week and is used by about 200 users, often several times a day.

The same behaviour occurred at the beginning of June, again affecting several users. After four or five days, the problem then stopped (again without my changing the app).

I cannot reproduce the error but the users are getting it consistently. They have tried using an InPrivate browser session, but that made no difference. The fact that I have five users reporting this within a few hours makes me wonder about a Microsoft Edge change, or a Power Apps browser code update. I am waiting for feedback from the users about whether it works on another browser.

    Sorry - but it's so long ago I've forgotten some of the details. I think it was a code issue combined with a browser setting. There was some code in the app to check for a new version of the app and restart if one was found and some users had US rather than UK regional settings and the date comparison in the code did not work correctly and forced a restart every time. The problem stopped when the date changed to one that was unambiguous (eg, 6/13/24).

    Did you find a solution to this. We have an app that is doing the same in the Power Apps Mobile App.
