Power Platform 2021 Release Wave 2 Maker Portal Updates – Converged Apps

In preparation for our upcoming NYC BizApps event on October 27, 2021, and the Power Platform 2021 Wave 2 release (weekend of October 23/24), I am writing a series of blog posts related to some of the most sought after updates. In this post we will review the new converged apps.

Converged apps allows us to converge a Model-Driven App and a Canvas App into a single app. This does not change the ability to create standalone Canvas Apps, but only the ability to have them available in a single app. The link below details the changes that were announced at the end of July.

Admin Center Changes for Users, Teams and Roles

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about changes on the creation of Application Users and the ability to manage this via the Power Platform Admin Center. Not much time has passed, and a few additions have been added to the Admin Center, which allows to manage Users, Teams and Security Roles. We are still missing some functionality to reach parity with the classic interface, but we are on our way.

Fix Embedded Canvas App error in iOS 14 devices

A few days ago, while performing some QA tasks on a project that I am working on, we noticed that one of our embedded Canvas Apps was no longer working on an Apple iPad device. We were getting an error that was related to cookies not being enabled on the device, but after looking at the organization policy and the settings on the device we found out that was not the case.

It seems like this was only a few days ago, but based on the sample that was published by Microsoft it’s been almost 2 weeks since Microsoft released CRUD support on Virtual tables.
