How to get Power Apps Version Number inside App Screen?

[@iektech]

Nice try Dhruvin, however, this approach has a very significant flaw, one of the most important reasons to add a version number in the app home screen is to confirm if the app latest version is being loaded on the user's device or browser, because many times when you publish a new version the users will have the previous one on the cache and some refreshes are required before they can see the newest version, this situation is not trivial because multiple times the users report issues that were on a previous version and they just need load the correct version to continue working, also when you are in development phase you need to test the app multiple times and you need to ensure is the latest version before proceeding with your testing. Let me explain what is the exact problem with the approach on the video, when you pull the version from a data source instead of the app itself, you are not showing the version of the app that is being loaded, you are showing the version of the latest version in your apps catalog, as explained above there is always going to be a mismatch when you publish a new version and the previous app is still in the cache of the user's device or browser, this is the same problem that happens when you try to get the version by using API methods with the help of Power Automate, you are just querying information from outside the app, this is the main reason getting the app metadata from the app itself is still an improvement that Microsoft is planning to do. This approach is ok for information purposes, however, it is not a trusted value for IT staff giving support to app users.

Any recommendations on how to display the app version?

[@iektech]

@@Loves-f3yI have not heard about an improvement regarding getting the app metadata and display it to the user in an accurate way, still for the specific purposes of confirming latest version, this might not be needed anymore, Microsoft has been improving the visibility of warnings about having an outdated version and helping the users to refresh the app and get the latest one in an easier way than it was when I published that comment, still its possinle that they might consider making the version visible directly from app metadata in the future to provide better support for multi-tenant deployments.

How to display live version instead latest version onto app screen ?

[@haravindhv616]

These formula is working fine for first 100 versions but my app has 160 versions where the label is displayed as 100

[@carlw]

Me too

[@KeyWest-f1j]

@@carlw you have to add {top: 999} to your call.

[@KeyWest-f1j]

sort of like this Office365Groups.ListGroupMembers("", {'$top':150}).value otherwise it defaults to 100 items to pull.

[@shivasrk4014]

What happens if app have more than 100 versions ......?

[@PowerPlatformPro]

Sadly this does not work for apps with versions > 100, there is a bug where even using top: does not work. This will only count 100 rows and nothing beyond so will only work for smaller version changes and tracking. 2023 and still looking for a better solution than manually modifying a label.

Same for me, If you get the Solution, Please help.

Love it. Thanks for putting this up

[@SalKuk1989]

I have 150 versions on my Apps, but the version number still showing 100. Any ideas?

[@iamdhruvinshah]

That's strange !, Let me check

[@metallica4709]

Were you able to resolve this? Mine says 100 as well.

[@nauzetvinoly]

@@iamdhruvinshah Hi there, thanks for the video.. very useful however I am in the same situation where I'm on version 151 but it shows version 100. Any resolutions?

[@jaded1977]

@@iamdhruvinshah It's a known issue, only the first 100 versions will display.

[@christiantrubenbach6983]

The function GetAppVersions returns at max. a list with the first 100 versions of the app. That's why the function CountRows only returns 100 as well. Also, this hasn't been changed for years and therefore is most certainly by design.

[@ankushjain4128]

Thanks for this details Is there any way to display live app version only right it is display latest version number whether it is live or not does't matter?

how to get my powerapps version in alphabet (version a,version b) instead of numerics

[@DuncanCunningham]

doesn't work with my app. gone through the process a number of times. moving on.

[@daxteoh27]

I am using same formula but doesn't work, I am suspecting my application display name which has space in between. Any ideas Dhruvin?

How can i get APPID in PowerAutomate ?

[@DanielWesterdale]

Will the version number be the same, if the app is deployed as part of solution to a target environment?

[@iamdhruvinshah]

Not tested!

[@DanielWesterdale]

@@iamdhruvinshah no probs. I will try to test this shortly. Having an actual App version tied to a solution build number will be useful

[@DanielWesterdale]

I have tested this now and the build version is only relevant to the number of versions of the same app in the current environment. You deploy to a new environment and it starts from version 1. I won't be using it for this reason🤔.

[@ruben_oya]

For today I tried this and it works : First(PowerAppsforMakers.GetAppVersions("YOUR APLICATION ID").value).properties.appDefinition.tags.publisherVersion

[@ccpalacioss]

Thankyou very much it works!!

[@JasonAngWeiLung]

Ruben, let's say I want the formula to be dynamically showing the published version, can you show me how?

[@AmandaSmedley-h8m]

@@JasonAngWeiLung use sienaVersion instead of publisherVersion
