PowerApps RAW!

When a user opens a Power App for the first time, they are often presented with a consent form asking for permission to access data sources or APIs used by the app. This Canvas API consent form can be disruptive, especially in scenarios where the app is intended for a broad user base or part of an automated deployment. The consent form can create unnecessary friction, requiring every user to individually approve permissions. Fortunately, there’s a way to bypass this pop-up consent form using PowerShell. In this blog post, I will guide you through automating the process of bypassing the Power Apps consent form using PowerShell. The goal is to either allow users to select an app from a specific environment or use a configuration file to perform actions on multiple environments. This automation can be particularly useful for initial deployments of a new app or to ensure all apps currently have this applied.

It’s a simple but powerful solution utilizing a horizontal container and a vertical gallery. Demo Instructions First add a Horizontal container to your screen. Set the LayoutOverflowX property on the Horizontal container. LayoutOverflowX = LayoutOverflow.Scroll Add a Vertical gallery within the horizonal container you created. Set the following properties on the Vertical gallery. ShowNavigation = true (this isn’t required but the navigation buttons make it much easier to move up and down the list when the up/down scrollbar is off the screen.) Height = Parent.Height (if you are using the Show Navigation option then set this to Parent.Heigh - 20 so that the navigation buttons are not covered up by the scroll bar.) LayoutMinWidth = 1000 (This value needs to be larger th...
