Powerapps App Size Limitation and launch function

[Taawon]

Dears,

I am running an app where a user is viewing videos and images to show to customers, I faced a problem with the max. size of media allowed per app (200 MB), is there a way to maximize app media size limit? even if its paid I am ok with that

if not, I am thinking about launching a new app (App2) through (App1) using the launch function, but it takes me to the main screen of app2 but I want it to take me to a certain screen in app2 not the home screen

is it possible to indicate the screen name in app2 that I want to launch through App1??

Hi @Taawon ,

First part of question, I am not aware of any method to increase this.

Second part, you can use deep linking and launch the second app with parameters from the first.

Have a look at this video from Shane Young. You just need prepare the second one with a condition that if the parameter name from the first is true, navigate to the second screen.

I use it to display a matching record on a field data collection app from a master admin app.

Hi @Taawon ,

Actually, these data types supported in PowerApps have no preset limit on size. All data sizes are subject to the amount of available memory in the app.

Please check the following article for more details:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/data-types#size-limits

But if you upload media files to your canvas app using Media functionality, there would have a limit on total uploaded Media storage:

In addition, if you want to launch a new app (App2) to specific screen from current app, I think the Launch function could achieve your needs. I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Set the OnSelect property of "Launch" button in your current app to following:

Launch(
       "https://apps.powerapps.com/play/a8bdf1d5-xxxx-4be1-xxxx-86529f53887a?tenantId=9e51xxxx-xxxx-41a2-xxxx-9785a9d6c706", // App Url of your App2
       ScreenName,          // Specify parameter name, which you need to pass to your App2. e.g. ScreenName
       "Screen2"           // Specify the parameter value. e.g. Screen2
)

Note: The 'https://apps.powerapps.com/play/a8bdf1d5-xxxx-4be1-xxxx-86529f53887a?tenantId=9e51xxxx-xxxx-41a2-xxx...' represents the App Url of your App2, please replace it with your own.

Within your App2, set the OnStart property of App to following:

Set(ScreenValue, Param("ScreenName"));
If(
   ScreenValue = "Screen2",
   Navigate(Screen2),
   ScreenValue = "Screen3",
   Navigate(Screen3),
   ...
   ...
)

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
