Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Dear all,

Am new to power apps.

So a basic question:

Using Power apps , when we build a app, is the app a mobile app or a web app?

Can a app build by using power app to downloaded through an app store and be installed in a mobile? Or else, how is the app used or accessed by people?

Can a app built using power app be given access to an external person - a person external to an organization?

Regards

Building Power Apps

Here are the basics:

Power Apps can be accessed through a web browser, or they can be accessed using the Power Apps mobile application on iOS or Android. The mobile application takes care of downloading the running the apps.
Individual Power Apps are not distributed through the Apple store or Google Play
Power Apps (unless running through a Power Apps Portal) require each user to have an appropriate licence and have the app shared with them. The user, even if external to the organization, must be a member of the org's Azure Active Directory

Power Apps work great in a business-internal context or with limited capabilities for external users. They are not well-suited to broad, unauthenticated public access.

Hope that helps,

Bryan
