Hello Everyone

Hi @mpezzutti 

Powerapps by default shows you list of apps shared with you

This view is also available in mobile app.

Thanks.

Hi @mpezzutti ,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to list alll your shared apps within a Gallery control in an app?

If you want to list alll your shared apps within a Gallery control in an app, I think the "Get Apps" action of PowerApps for App Markers connector could achieve your needs.

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a Gallery control, within your app, set the Items property to following:

Filter(PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value, properties.sharedUsersCount >= 1)

Then within the Gallery, add a "Launch" icon, set the OnSelect property to following:

Launch(ThisItem.properties.appOpenUri)             /* <-- Launch the specific canvas app */

Within the Gallery, you could also add some Label controls to details of your apps, set the Text property to following formula:

"App Name: " & ThisItem.properties.displayName

"Shared Users Count: " & ThisItem.properties.sharedUsersCount

....

In addition, if you just want to show all apps shared from yourself within above Gallery, please consider modify the Items property formula within the Gallery as below:

Filter(
       PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value, 
       properties.sharedUsersCount >= 1 && properties.createdBy.email = User().Email
)

Hi @mpezzutti ,

If you want to filter canvas app based on your Environment, I think the Dropdown control could achieve your needs.

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Add a Dropdown control (Dropdown1) within your app, set the Items property to following:

PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetEnvironments().value

set the Value property to name column.

Then within your Gallery, modify the formula as below:

Filter(
      PowerAppsforAppMakers.GetApps().value, 
      properties.sharedUsersCount>=1 && properties.environment.name = Dropdown1.Selected.name
)

Note: The Environemnt Id of your PowerApps Prod Environment would be listed as below:
