Power BI tile ask for login after changing AllowNewAPI property to true

Posted on by andyLi

I am creating a canvas app in Microsoft Teams, the app has an embedded power bi report.

Currently the embedded power bi report does not need dynamic filtering so the AllowNewAPI property of the Power Bi tile control is false. Everything works fine until i need to enable dynamic filtering.

I know i need to change the AllowNewAPI property to true before i add filters to my TileUrl, i have tried this feature last year and it works perfectly. But now if i change AllowNewAPI property to true, immediately the Power Bi tile change to below log in screen.

I don't think i see this screen last year when i tried dynamic filtering in the Power Bi tile, but this is not end of the problem, so if i click on this sign in button, a browser tab will be opened but soon it will be closed by itself and then nothing happend. Then the Power Bi tile control just stays the same as above screenshot. So basically i won't be able to sign in. I tried both in preview mode and in published mode, same behavior.

Did MS changed the behavior of AllowNewAPI property of this control ? did someone experience the same? How to make the dynamic filtering working again now?

I did some additional test myself, it seems that this issue is related to Teams, if i ceate the same power bi tile in a regualar canvas app, if i change AllowNewAPI to true i will also see this log in screen, but if i click on it, an automatic log in process will happen and then the report appear with dynamic filtering in effect. But this is not happening in the Teams environment. I even tried change my default browser, nothing will fix this issue. It seems it is a bug.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Can confirm it is the "AllowNewAPI" causing the issue. PowerBI charts will not work if that field is set to "true" AND the user is trying to use the Power App from a Microsoft Team tab.

It was working fine a month ago, but now when our users click on the sign in button, it opens a web browser and closes it immediately, with no change to the power app from within MS Teams tab.

When you open the app from a web browser, and not from MS Teams tab, the PowerBI sign in works normal. I guess I have to direct my users to open in a web browser for now.

Has this issue been resolved? I also have a canvas app that has a tile embedded using AllowNewAPI and the tile times out after 90 or so minutes forcing the user to click sign in. It wouldn't be an issue on a normal terminal but we have this set up in a conference room screen.

Solved... it seems that with a recent update my cookies settings were adjusted. Once I turned off blocking third party cookies, and ensured that they weren't being cleared on close, the AllowNewAPI (true) feature started working as intended again. Hope this helps you as well.
