I created a custom component in Powerapps component framework and uploaded it to CDS. But when I try to import the component in canvas app , it gives me an error "The data you want to open is not a msapp file". How can i resolve it?
I followed the same link. I activated the powerapps component framework also the component in App. But code(experimental) is not seen when i click import component. Instead i only have option to upload a data or select from the list(which lists only powerapps with components)
In order to see the Code (Experimental) tab you also need to have the canvas feature of "Improved data source experience and Common Data Service view" enabled in App settings > Advanced settings > Preview Features as well.
This extra feature enable requirement is being removed the a future version, but hasn't rolled out to release yet. See if enabling this feature fixes the issue of the tab not being found.
Check if you are using <usesfeature> in ControlManifest.input.xml file,uncomment it at present PCF doesnt support webapi and utility in canvas app

1. Admin setting is set to true for using PCF canvas components
2. At the app level component experimental feature is turned on
You should be able to see the components tab if above are completed.
For the PCF components to show up, make sure that the right CDS environment with the PCF solution is chosen and the PCF controls are of field type. Use the samples if you dont have any.
