hi
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
HI @Anonymous ,
What is not mentioned in the blog, is that you need to add the PowerAppsForMakers connector to your app in order to use this formula. Is that perhaps your issue?
You can add it by clicking the data icon, Add Data and then look for "Power Apps for Makers" (mind the spaces) and then click on the connector:

hi BC Buizer
thanx for the tip, I added the connector and inserted the code, but the version number does not show as you can see below (i am building a component).
thank you for your help
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please replace the display name with your app's display name instead of the version.
CountRows(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetAppVersions(First(Filter(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value,properties.displayName = "Your app's name")).name).value)
I have made a test for your reference:

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
I see something different in your code then expected:
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).
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.
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.
Hey,
Still the error on my side
Can you please share the error text itself as well?
