Power Apps Monitor Feedback discussion thread

[AengusHeaney]

We recently launched the new Power Apps Monitor tool to help you debug and improve the performance of your apps. You can read more about the Monitor in the blog post. As you use the Monitor, we'd love to hear your feedback. What did you find helpful? What additional features could we add to this tool to help you debug your apps better? This community post will be used to consolidate all feedback on the Monitor tool. You can also access this post directly from the "Provide Feedback" link in the Monitor.

Don't get me wrong, I empathise with your frustration, believe me. But the reality is that it is not prioritised for a reason, and it's probably because the current consumer majority aren't really affected by things like this at the moment.

I believe the best we can do at this point, is to explain why it becomes difficult to advocate the technology to other professional developers when issues like this are not addressed, and that it is especially important if the intent is to support fusion development with Power Platform.

of course you are right.  to tell the truth my expectations for a technology from a BILLION(s) dollar company will never be met  😄   I still cannot even believe the best and worst of things in Excel which I have been using since it came into existence.  😄

It’s a form post asking for feedback, not everything can be bucketed into an idea that people are simply “complaining”…and even if that was the case it’s feedback which we never forfeit the right to provide

Hi @JoshuaC . I had a support call open on Monitor Issues for MONTHS, and the support guys got absolutely no joy out of the Microsoft Techs. I eventually closed it because the constant requests for more evidence of the issue became too much. I kept pointing them to the complaints here, but that recommendation fell on deaf ears.

I am unable to debug / monitor mobile apps. This used to work, I have used the feature many times, but now it doesn't.

I have a mobile app where I use the camera for barcode/QR-code reading, so I have to debug it in the mobile device; can't run on my computer (btw, would be cool to be able to use the camera in my laptop just as the one in my phone).

I used to be able to open the Monitor and select "Copy link", scan the QR code and it would open in my phone first in the browser, then App store (Android) then in the actual Power Apps player application. It does this all, so the mobile Power App is being run through the actual Power Apps player - but nothing appears in the Monitor, not one single line / event.

If I run the published app directly from the Monitor on my laptop, it works, I can see events appearing - but I can't test the barcode reader related functionality.

Something's not working correctly now, and this is a critical issue for me (currently trying to debug a seriously difficult problem, and this sucks really, really bad).

@AnttiKurenniemi, Thank you for reporting this. We're looking into it & hope to have a solution soon.

In my usage today the Monitoring function is completely broken.   The panel that pops out on three different browsers (Mac Safari, Mac Chrome, Windows Edge) all display the same behaviour.   The boxes that would include the details in the side panel only render the first few lines of screen content and no further.  See the Screenshot from Windows below.  Any thoughts?

Thanks @cphodgkins for reporting. We have a fix going out shortly for this. I apologize for the inconvenience.
