Viewing Power App on iPad scales percentages wrong

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

I have made app which will be used on iPads and have used dynamic scaling and locations for the controls. I have locked the aspect ratio, and disabled scale to fit so it looks like it is on an iPad Air when testing on all devices. It look great on the computer monitor and my mobile phone, everything is where it should be, but on the iPad, everything which added up to 100% wrapped down.

 

I did some testing and found that on my iPad, 100% of a parent or the screen is 100% + 1px at the beginning for some reason, meaning it drops down. This ruins the sizes of my galleries and containers. I know I could just go through everything and subtract 1px on everything affected, but that would just make it uglier in the long run. Am i doing something wrong / is there a work around?

    This can be a pain point when doing responsive Design in Power Apps. Just checking are you taking into consideration the Screen.Size and leveraging the break points to adjust the positioning and dimensions.

    Links to what I am referring to:
    Create responsive layouts in canvas apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/create-responsive-layout#screen-sizes-and-breakpoints 

    I often stick a label on my screen and put the screenname.Size on it so that I can see what it is on the devices I am using and then use conditions to shift how the containers and everything else behave.
