Hi,

I am trying to get version number of application using below function but I am getting published version date and time but not version numbert. I used PowerAppsforAdmins too but same issue .

Set(varAppVersionNumber, LookUp(PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "Policy Application", properties).appVersion);

I do have system administration permissions in this dev environments, but I am not sure why I am getting date and time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this :

Set( varAppVersionNumber, "Version - " & CountRows( PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions( First( Filter( PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value, properties.displayName = "Policy Application" ) ).name ).value ) )

Hi,

It's not possible to get the version number in this way - the details provided via the PowerAppsForMakers and PowerAppsForAdmins does not provide the actual version number of the App, only the datetime and the authoring version (major.minor.build) and uri's, that sort of thing.

I would suggest instead to create your own versioning system to ensure that users are within the most current version of your app - I have a blog here that covers how to set this up and provides all of the code needed 🙂

Cheers,

Sancho

No worries - I spent a long time looking for a way myself, that's why I ended up making this other way of doing it to enforce users on the correct version - hoping to save you some time too 🙂
