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

Sriram

    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
