i would like to display the app version number, so i followed the instructions https://sharepains.com/2019/09/27/get-the-version-number-of-your-app-in-powerapps/

but i don't have the text field mentioned in the link

CountRows(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetAppVersions(First(Filter(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "version")).name).value)

(i am preparing a component)

how can i fix this issue?

thank you

Re: display the app version number

This worked for me but I am up to version 633 and the code just returned 100. Any workaround to this? Delete out about 500 older versions?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I just tested again and the only thing I noticed is that initially I got the same error, but then it disappeared on its own:

No clue what to make of this....

Re: display the app version number

Hi @Anonymous ,

I tested the code on the blog and found it is producing an error in itself. When correcting the code, it worked just fine for me:

CountRows(PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(LookUp(PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "HQ DEV Components V2").name).value)

I guess this blog was from before the time that the LookUp function was available.

Re: display the app version number

hi BCBuizer,
I corrected the value as requested.
CountRows(PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions(First(Filter(PowerAppsforMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "HQ DEV Components V2")).name).value)

it looks better, i still have a small issue with the color value.

Re: display the app version number

Hi @Anonymous ,

I see something different in your code then expected:

CountRows(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetAppVersions(First(Filter(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "HQ DEV Components V2")).name).value)

I'm not sure if this is just a typo or you added the wrong connector. Can you please check you have the below in you list of connectors (exact same logo and name)?

If you don't have this, please add "Power Apps for Makers" (instead of PowerAppsforAppsMakers).

Re: display the app version number

hi Levi

Thanks for replying. I changed the app 's display name.
CountRows(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetAppVersions(First(Filter(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "HQ DEV Components V2")).name).value)
I still have an error with GetAppVersions ??

Thank you for your reply
